Archer hotel is the only hotel we will stay when visiting our family in the Boston area. It is…read moregorgeous, immaculate and in the best area all while being close enough to Boston. The staff are always very pleasant and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The bar area is beautiful and the bartenders make the best drinks. Plenty of restaurants all within walking distance and several more to choose from in the mall located 2 minutes down the street. The rooms are huge with 2 king sized beds that are sooo comfortable to sleep on. I booked our room this time using the Mother's Day promo and received a bottle of champagne at check in that was presented to me in a cute gift bag. Small things like that leave lasting memories.

Where do I start? The location was perfect -- close to so many great food spots! The restaurant and…read morebar décor was beautiful, and the food was just as impressive. Every staff member we met was kind, helpful, and welcoming. Our room had so many thoughtful touches -- a Nespresso maker, complimentary slippers, and other small details that made our stay feel special. It was our first time staying at an Archer property, and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, there aren't any Archer hotels down south, but I can't wait for the next opportunity to stay at another one!

Dates of stay: Columbus Day weekend 2022…read more Firstly- this is not in Boston. Boston is about 30- 40 minutes away depending on traffic so if you really want to be downtown and checking out the State House/Freedom Trail/MFA or anything quintessentially Boston- this is not the location. Interior: Hotel is clean and quiet. There were a lot of people at the hotel this weekend due to a myriad of events. From what my eavesdropping discovered there were women's athletics events, leaf peepers and persons in town for weddings (like me). I didn't feel overwhelmed or crowded despite this place being full occupancy the whole weekend. The area where they have computers isn't that great- you can't even use zoom so you're better off bringing your own laptop if you have web based meetings. There is a printer if that's enticing! This hotel is pet friendly- I saw dogs of all sizes here. All were super quiet which is great and the place didn't reek of dirty dog which is great. If I hadn't noticed people walking their dogs I wouldn't had known pets could be brought here. Exterior: The road that leads to the hotel is very dark at night! If you get here after 10pm you will likely have to park at the lot in the back of the hotel which is massive. The property is what is to be expected of a Courtyard- nothing fancy but definitely not a hole in the wall. Room: My room was great. The bed was very comfortable and now my husband wants to get the same bed in our house! The room was not huge but it was fine for the two of us. The AC works very well (too damn well for my liking) so it makes for a nice crisp New England night inside your room (while you snuggle under the down comforter). The rooms only get cleaned upon request so if that is important to you keep that in mind. The water pressure is spectacular as is the temperature of the hot water!! The water is also filtered so no extra chlorine or other toxins sneaking into your shower water! Minor critique/observation- if you need the bathroom mirror to defog fast because you're in a hurry this may be an issue. The mirror took forever to defog and there's no vent to suck out the steam. Opening the door didn't help much at all! Like I said this is minor- you may be one of the beautiful people who never needs a mirror and just "wakes up like this"... Cost: The cost was one of the cheaper options and I needed something super close within Billerica so it was perfect. Note that they don't charge your card until you get to the hotel. Staff: This is where my biggest gripe is. I called during the days before my stay to speak with the front desk due to wanting to flag that I would be arriving very late and most importantly not to give my room away. Despite just numerous efforts no one ever picked up the front desk phone. I had to go through the main reservations number for Marriott for them to put a note in the account. It was very frustrating- even they couldn't get anyone from the Billerica hotel to pick up the phone. When I got to the hotel the person at the desk was pleasant and everything went off without a hitch. I would say this isn't the type of hotel where you just see a person sitting at the front desk- they're in the room adjoining the front desk and you have to signal to them or wait for them to appear. The people who worked at the deceptively named Bistro were all very nice. Note that the Bistro is only open in the morning, does not have a kitchen and serves Starbucks coffee and other products. Overall: If I had to stay in this area for some reason again, I'd chose this hotel.

I stayed at this hotel July 1st-7th. My car was hit in the parking lot. I've been told by the…read moreperson at the front desk that there were no cameras in the parking area only in the back for the staff and therefore they have no responsibility for the accident. I was also told that the hotel manager would be in touch the next day, that would've been 7/8. It's 7/11 and I've heard nothing. Aside from the damage to my brand new car that didn't even have 6,000 miles, as a woman traveling by herself, the idea there isn't any security in the guest parking area is disturbing. I will say the beds were very comfortable.

My room was a king studio suite which was very roomy with a kitchen and then a couch with a long desk and a TV on a swivel to be able to watch in bed or on the couch. I did make it down to breakfast one morning and it was ok , they had scrambled eggs , sausage and French toast sticks along with all the normal continental breakfast items. I think you main draw to this hotel would be location as you are in the parking lot of the Burlington mall and a lot of food options to eat at. Also the staff was friendly and always greeted me when I passed the front desk.

There are plenty of food options, Wegmans and Kings up the street some. Movie theaters close by, legit everything you need is in walking distance. The rooms are all suites, so guaranteed to have space, lots of it. They have conjoined rooms, very clean. They carpets don't feel gross on your bare feet. When you walk in it smells so good. The staff - A M A Z I N G - Karen is a Rockstar and is so knowledgeable. I thought she was the manager the way she treated the customers. Just top tier customer service, she is the standard.

Other days and in AM they're great. 3) the food was same as all other lounges but some offer complimentary beer and wine. Don't drink so I didn't care. Overall, impressed and would recommend this location.

We stayed at the Burlington Marriott for one night and, unfortunately, that was enough. We usually…read morechoose Marriott when traveling and have consistently good experiences, but this location did not feel up to the brand's usual standards. The room itself was mediocre, and several of the outlets didn't work, which was frustrating when trying to charge devices and get settled. We also tried the breakfast buffet at their CHOPPS restaurant, and that was another disappointment. They offered a full spread scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, frittata, oatmeal, a fruit and yogurt bar, bagels, toast, croissants, and an omelet station but most of the hot food was actually cold. The only thing that really stood out in a positive way was the made-to-order omelet station. The pool area was another letdown -- the pool itself is actually pretty large for a hotel pool, but it didn't feel very clean, which made us hesitant to use it. Overall, between the underwhelming room and the poor breakfast experience, this isn't a property I'd choose to stay at again, especially given how reliable other Marriott locations have been for us.

A wooded oasis one minute from Fitchburg State, 1.5h by train from Boston!…read more Visiting family in Fitchburg, we wanted to stay close to the center of town, and we were so lucky to find availability at Howarth House B&B! This beautiful wooded oasis is just up the hill from Fitchburg State University. The home is lovely, with three upstairs rooms available for guests. With our family along, we spent time in two of the rooms. The Harvard is spacious and has a great shower with streams from two sides. What a luxurious experience! The Hudson is also roomy with a serene view of the pool and the back woods (and chicken coop!). It has a jetted tub, so very relaxing, and a shower too. The beds are huge and comfortable, with what must be a pillow-top on the tall firm mattress. These might be the most comfortable rooms we've ever stayed in at a B&B! Breakfast is freshly made with several delicious options from a menu where you make you selections the night before. The eggs are fresh from their own chickens! The hosts Sarah and Ryan served us in a well-lit "Florida Room" with a view of the flower-garden. And we saw a hummingbird flitting among pink and lavender flowers! On the first floor, in addition to the breakfast room, there's a kitchenette with complimentary beer and soft drinks and snack bars, single-serve coffees, and tea bags with a hot and cold water dispenser, (and both milk and cream, thx!). There is a large comfortable sitting room, where we spent part of a pleasant evening with the friendly owners, swapping travel stories. And from there is an enclosed brick pathway to a rec room with a nice billiard table. To the left is the clean outdoor pool, or ahead is the open covered lighted porch with a ceiling fan, which has a step down to the pool. We took a few laps, then walked down and around to the patio with a fire-pit and a large jacuzzi. On an overcast September day, the pool was cool but not chilly, and the jacuzzi was warm with easy-to-adjust powerful jets. The chicken coop is hidden downhill a bit further, and there's no resident rooster so you might hear some cheerful clucking but no raucous crowing. It's just 1.5h by MBTA train from North Station in Boston to this tranquil hideaway. The hosts are charming and hard-working, always making improvements, always ready with friendly conversation. The price is of course a bit more than some local hotels, but not at all expensive, and our envious hotel-staying relatives all came by for a relaxing evening of wine on the porch.

I actually really enjoyed this little area, there was a great shopping center that was just across the way with lots of options. The rooms were nice and had a little couch seating area and a fridge and microwave which is always nice for a long stay like my fiancé had. I also loved the downstairs area. I went and worked down there on my laptop one of the days in a comfy couch that had its own little tv to watch something too. I'm also a big person about AC in hotel rooms and this one did live up to my normal expectations because I like a cold room. If you are staying in this area definitely a great spot to stay.

The rooms come with body lotion, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. I love the smell of these and have used it, even though I brought my own conditioner and shampoo. There's also a mini fridge and a microwave. Ice machine is nearby the elevators. Room service is only provided upon request and is between the hours of 9am-noon I believe, maybe longer. Breakfast during the weekdays is from 6-9am, with alternative hours on weekends. Breakfast usually always consists of waffles (self-made), fruit, juice, coffee, and bagels/bread to toast. They alternate between sausages, potatoes, eggs, and Canadian bacon. There are usually people already down there by 6am, some even before then while they're still setting up. There's lots of seating with a back seating area as well. There is a Starbucks (no-drive thru) and Chick-fil-A (drive thru) in the same lot which is nice. The hotel lobby locks after 11pm, so be sure to have your room key to scan to get back in.

I went down for some Advil (or anything) for a headache. They had no pain reliever of any sort. But what they DID have was condoms, but ONLY Magnums. Which is great if you're one of the few lucky men with an enormous hog who forgot to pack your Magnums, but what about the other 95% of us? Good thing I wasn't shopping for condoms. Room is spacious, probably remodeled in the past few years, and it was clean. The tub/shower faucet was loose and coming out of the tub but that's mostly cosmetic, still. The mini fridge was turned off and there was a loose tray just laying around on a shelf.
