The bed was crisp and clean and everything felt crisp and Fresh. Parking was easy, $15 across the street. The breakfast was really nice. Loved the pastries and the bagel toaster and the breakfast sandwiches. Most of all we were so impressed that they gave my nine-year-old a birthday present! It was a cookie and chocolate bar and a teddy, and they wrote a handwritten note to her. I've never been in a hotel that did that before. She was so incredibly happy. It made me so happy too. What a very special touch from Hyatt House! This is now my favourite hotel in Seattle and I plan to stay here again!

Staying at the Archer Hotel in Redmond was such a treat!!! Boutique luxury meets West Coast charm…read more What I loved: The location is perfect. It's right in Redmond Town Center, so everything like shops, restaurants, Marymoor Park is just a walk or short drive away. My room was styled beautifully, with plush five‑star bedding (I wanted this bed for myself!), Nespresso coffee, and cozy Frette bathrobes, my favorite LATHER shampoo. There were daily locally curated treats, a welcome gift of wine, salted caramels, water, and "playful" slippers tucked by the bed. AKB, the hotel bar, is lively and fun crafted cocktails, shareable snacks, a patio, and even shuffleboard. Amenities are strong. There's a 24/7 fitness studio with a Peloton bike, an indoor pool, and a 24/7 market for snacks or last-minute needs. The hotel leans into sustainability in thoughtful ways: EV charging, natural LATHER bath products, and eco‑friendly practices throughout. Service was very sincere and warm!! Felt so special on my bday they even set up a charcuterie board for me. What a sweet surprise. Things to consider:There's a $15 overnight parking fee, which feels a bit steep if you're just dropping in for a short stay. But I think it's worth it if you'd like to keep your car out and away from the public. If you're looking for a boutique stay with character and thoughtful design on Seattle's Eastside, Archer Hotel Redmond is an excellent choice. It's perfect for business travelers, couples, or anyone wanting to slow down and enjoy modern comfort in a walkable, upscale neighborhood. I will be coming back and keeping you in mind when I visit again Archer!!

They have a huge variety on tap, great cocktails, and tons of NA options. I got a mango marg and it was a generous portion for the price and very good. Really impressive bar! The games are so fun! I really liked shuffleboard- it's a great social game because it's at table height so easy to set drinks down or gather. They also were thoughtful and put drink holders next to every hole of every game! The whole thing is full of art, places to gather, and thoughtful touches. I feel like they took lessons learned from many other locations and made this one truly *chefs kiss.

What makes it so fun is you can bring three generations of the family and everyone enjoys it. We always play the mini-golf and like playing the Duffleboard too. They also have a little kids mini-golf course for the younger kids. Their thin crust pizza is consistently good. Given that it's a games place we were pleasantly surprised at how good their pizza is. Pro tip: if you love the mini-golf as much as we do their membership it a good deal. You pay once and can mini-golf / Duffleboard for free for life. They often have a Black Friday deal on the membership.

The location was perfect too with a patio but, unfortunately with the wet & windy weather we didn't go out. We hosted our dad's 85th birthday here December 20, 2025 in the Anderson Ballroom. Matt was so friendly, accommodating and just pleasant to deal with. He gave us menus, options that were clear and answered our questions fast. When we met in person, we knew this was the spot not just for the view and ballroom but, by Matt's personality and smile. Keisha also was great with our block of rooms for our family. It was the 1st time our family was complete in over 10 years so this was really memorable for us. The Christmas decorations, the tree, the centerpieces and the FOOD. Everyone is still raving about how excellent the venue and party was. We checked in for the weekend and were greeted with a smile and ALOHA from Shawn. He always asked if our family needed anything or what he can do to make our stay better. Truly appreciated that. The chai tea latte was a hit. Never had that option at a venue before but it was the perfect touch for the cold weather. The staff during the event were awesome. So friendly, so attentive and always asked if we needed anything. Appreciate you all. Friends were even asking for more information to host a future wedding and event there...I gladly gave them Matt's contact information. The hotel itself was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The lobby of the Anderson Ballroom was perfect for our family portraits as well. The location was key to many restaurants, bars within walking distance as well. And, family even hopped on the light rail to do some last minute shopping at Bellevue Square. I can't thank you enough, Matt, Keisha, Shawn, Kelly and the rest of the catering and hotel staff at Hilton Garden Inn, Redmond. We will definitely be referring and sharing our experiences with others who are looking for a fantastic venue to create an unforgettable memory to last forever. God Bless You all.8

Came here to attend an event - Women's Day Out - so can only speak to the space in general. Smiley…read morefaces at reception, for sure. Giant lobby with a side section with high ceiling and lots of windows - lovely for getting some work done, maybe, on your laptop (as someone was). The event, Women's Day Out, was on the second floor. It was a ticketed event. There were a couple of levels of tickets and you could be a "VIP" and get a swag bag (I was not a VIP lol). After browsing the vendors at the event though I wonder if the swag bag mostly included coupons to use their services vs "free stuff." That was the main offering at the vendor tables - not so much "free stuff" as invites to try out their services at a later date. One spot was doing it "right" imo - was @onceuponaspa. They offered cute stickers for your nails and a cute mini nail file with a card explaining who they were. It was the perfect amount of "freebie" to allow us to witness their work (watching them put on the stickers) and to learn more about them - thus inspiring a return visit. Point is, almost no free samples. Just expected more of those at an event I paid to enter. Most generous offer came from @europeanwaxcenter who gave free eyebrow waxes. Thank you! As for the space, pretty cool for this type of thing, only a tiny bit cramped, would have liked the "vibe"/ambience to be a tad more "spa" - it was pretty business like; the lovely patio was hardly in use; a floral photo op was set very far away from everything else, etc. Also no complimentary refreshments - just water - really?! Ok yes my review has a theme. What I enjoyed was meeting new people, especially artists just starting out trying to make a living from their art. This could be a great networking event for an event organizer, for instance. Lots of great products from local creatives. @catchingfeelings (find them on Etsy!) very creative aesthetic sculpture; #StudioGhibli fans - check it out. @winnie+shine (a must if you have a Frenchie); extremely talented and professional - offered a gift w/ purchase. @revsravishingchocolates gorgeous artisanal custom chocolate for personal and corporate gifting @downtoearthpaper lovely artist saving the world one recycled paper notebook at a time; also stickers. @savialux skincare that smells REALLY GOOD. The hotel is located very conveniently in Redmond not far from the Town Center, and with parking available. Parking was crowded, yet I saw free spaces each time I was in the parking lot, which was great. I would totally stay at this hotel. @ontheeastsideevents @YelpWashington

They have so many great things for decorating around the yard and pond, and most of it I have not seen anywhere else. Their koi are lovely, and what a selection! We have had our koi pond for over ten years, and have always heard great things about this place, but never got around to going there until last month. So happy we went! Love their selection of pond plants! I couldn't resist when we went there and have been thrilled with how well all of the plants have done since bringing them home! Most of all, they are knowledgeable and helpful! We had a leak in our pond and about a thousand questions. They know their stuff! No hard sell, no judging you on how you installed this or that, just great advice and helpful information. Yep, I am definitely a fan!

The staff was friendly and extremely helpful with letting folks do testing for hybrid in-person and video call for the event. For being a public-run facility the facilities seemed to have a nice clean appearance, the linens were clean and tasteful. It's definitely old, and out of certain sides you clearly see playgrounds and other people so it's not the most private thing in the world, but that's alright. I'm sure it was stunning in its heyday. I wouldn't be planning a wedding or larger gathering anytime soon given some space constraints, but for a more modest attendance the size was quite good.

It's been well restored and maintained. For the purposes in which I attended (Sakura-con staff party with Firstborn) this was a great layout and set-up. They were able to have tables in the entryway room with the fireplace and a beautiful tree, a staging/reception room with coat check and the gift exchange, a room entirely devoted to gaming (Rock band, a Wii and an Xbox were all ready for all to enjoy), a "movie" room playing various anime and a large great room dining area for all the enjoy the catered meal and announce the door prizes. For certain events, however, I can see how the layout of the Mansion could be difficult to work with. Depending upon your needs and the size of your event. For weddings, I think it would work best for a small affair (under 75 people) or as a staging and reception area with the ceremony outside on the grounds. There were well over a hundred people and their families in attendance the night I was there and it never really felt crowded or sparse anywhere you went. The catering staff was also just fabulous. They kept the food coming throughout the night, cleared tables quickly and were all in smiley-good spirits.

As a long time Redmond resident, I am always looking for someplace new, with great staff, food and…read moreambiance. When Archer opened years ago, we became regular customers, and Archer became among our top three favorite hangouts. We have had birthday parties, class reunions and many friends join us there, to their great enjoyment. Honestly, it was like going to a friend's home; it was that comfortable seeing all of the people we enjoyed that worked there. They were hard working, kind, professional and friendly. Recently, there have been significant and disappointing staff changes. We walked in a few weeks back to find that some of the staff that helped us for years, were not there. We figured there were schedule changes and that we would come back another day. A week later, we entered and again saw the bartender was not there. I approached the bar staff and asked where these individuals were. We were told they were no longer employed at Archer. We were beyond disappointed. We left. We contacted the former employees and were told more disappointing news that they either were terminated or resigned. The hotel relies heavily upon travelers to promote their location. The bar/restaurant relies upon them too, but more importantly relies upon the locals to promote the business. We have done that in the past at Archer, but will no longer recommend this location and will seek somewhere different to be our new local.

The WiFi was good, temperature was good, plenty of places to sit and no competition for the phone booths. There is unlimited soda if that's something you're into. Ample parking due to its location in a commercial business park. The bad: there was a single keurig for coffee which was a reusable pod and stale/open ground coffee to make it with. No espresso, no fresh drip. There was a vending machine with a single cliff bar and an out of order sign. There weren't many people when I was there so it did not have any type of social vibe at all. Also the location is great for parking but there's nothing in walking distance so you'll have to drive to get coffee or lunch. I may go back since they have a daily drop in rate but frankly I'd rather work from a coffee shop where at least I can pay to have good coffee during the day.
