9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,401 reviews)
The Archer is currently under construction which we did not know until we arrived. The hotel is upgrading and it will have a modern elegant design. They are having a bit of confusion during construction. We used the valet service to park the car and asked to have our luggage sent up to our room. The valet attendant agreed and said the luggage would be up in about 10 minutes. After about an hour of waiting we called the front desk and asked why our luggage had not shown up. Our luggage showed up about 15 minutes after the call. The room was very well appointed. This will clearly be a great place to stay once the construction jitters are resolved. The staff was very friendly. We had dinner in the rooftop bar and lounge. The food and wine (well it is downtown Napa!) was excellent and the service staff were friendly. Later we went off to bed. The bedding consisted of a single cover with no sheets. This does not allow the sleeper to adjust the temperature that having at least sheets and a blanket allows when you have a partner with different sleeping temperature needs. I overheated in the night and had trouble getting back to sleep. My wife, on the other hand, slept very well. I kept hearing this rumbling like a motor turning on and off humming for several minutes, then off, then restart. The breakfast was excellent, except 3 different people handed us copies of the same bill. Can we blame construction jitters? This may be a great place to stay when complete!
