Best Hotels near Kohl＇s, Saugus

I would say the only thing positive about this location is the rooms. They are super clean and updated. As well as the night time manager is super accommodating. As far as the other employees they could care less. Night time manager even charged me half the deposit because I frequent here. The elevator is beat up and dated. The carpets in some hallways haven't been deep cleaned since the 1800s. Mostly all the soda and snack machines steal your money. The pool is surprisingly decent. I have only ever taken a swim once. The best thing is they allow animals for free. My little guy loves the night manager because he gives him treats constantly. This hotel has some super potential. Because you can hop on 93 and be in Boston with no traffic in 15 mins. Right next to market basket and some shopping/restaurants. If they renovated. Cleaned up and hired some more staff that care like the night shift manager, this place would be sold out every day without a doubt. Definitely room for improvement no doubt about that. But it is well worth the price. The rooms and beds are EXTREMELY nice. Just a drive away from Boston. Highly recommend solely off the rooms and beds in the room!

This inn used to be really great, being cheaper than most and really well situated, being near Boston. The breakfast used to be really good also, but it’s not offered anymore. However the inn didn’t age really well. First the parking lot is in an awful state, so be careful with your car. Our room was in really bad shape: the bath tub was rusty, the AC noisy and there was a blind in the window, but no drapes, so the sunlight was entering the room by the side in the morning, waking us up. The ice machine wasn’t working. And there was only one set of towel in the room for two queen beds. Note that there is no service in the room, nobody come to make the beds and empty the trash. The worst part for us pas the problems with the door. On the second day of our stay, we realised that the door of the room wasn’t locking at all. We were assured that it would be fixes first thing in the morning, but when we arrived the following evening, the door was still unlocked. We were lucky that nothing was stolen. I tried to talk with a manager to request a discount and was told they would contact me during the week, but they never did. I tried to contact them through Expedia and they didn’t care to offer anything. Lately I tried to contact them directly and once again they assured me they would call me back, but 2 weeks later I still didn’t hear for them. This hotel and the management clearly didn’t care for their clients and the quality of their installation, so avoid this place.

Oct2022: 3⭐: I selected this hotel as a result of needing a place close to the house with easy access to the airport. I selected this hotel through the Bonvoy app based on it fitting the criteria I desired. I wasn't able to get to the hotel until the afternoon hours about 1700. I picked up my spouse from the airport and we decided to get her checked in at the hotel on the way to the hospital down the toll road. I noted that the hotel was difficult to enter and it took a bit of concentration to locate the front entrance of the hotel as it sits over top of the tollway 90. There were two handicapped parking areas available at the check in lot. There is a pay parking garage attached to the hotel and adjacent to the front entrance into the hotel. The parking garage has more handicapped parking areas available and regular parking as well. The areas are not good for large trucks or RVs. The entrance was located and I parked and we went into the hotel. We walked to the front desk and a female worker didn't greet us, didn't say hello, nor did she say welcome to the hotel. The worker said ”give me your id”. My wife was standing there to my side and I looked to see if there was someone else there we had stepped in front of or cut in line. There was no one there but us. My wife said what did she say? Is this the check in desk? I commented that this is the check in window, right? What happened to the smile, good afternoon, welcome to Sheraton, or just hello. DEMANDING my identification upon entering the building was definitely not appropriate. Having a bad day isn't MY fault. I have a choice to choose this location, not the other way around. We finished the check in at the desk, paid for parking, and we went to the room. We dropped off the bags and found that the bathroom door sags and does not properly close as it's hitting the bottom of the frame. One of the window blinds wasn't properly functional. The noise canceling device and the traffic was something to tolerate. Some vehicle drivers passing under the hotel on the tollway, enjoyed throttling the engine. This added noise to an already bad situation. Decent area food spots are walking distance from the hotel.

My friend and I were on a road trip and just 'going with the flow'- stopping wherever we felt like it. This is often hit and miss when comes to hotels, but we were definitely happy with this choice! Big room, extra clean, big bathroom (also extra clean), everything worked and the staff was awesome.

We LOVED The Archer Hotel! So many little, well thought out details, the likes of which are normally found in more costly hotels. We were blown away by this boutique hotel right from the start - the inviting lobby boasts plenty of windows, brick, and an industrial chic vibe. You quickly notice the penny candy (on display adjacent to check in), the refreshing lemon/lime/orange water, the comfy chairs of all types and sizes, and the pool table if you're so inclined. The rooms, large, well decorated and very clean are filled with sweet surprises behind every door. From the complimentary oh-so-creamy caramels and Fiji water, the Nespresso machine complete with glass cups and saucers, to the robe in the closet and slippers in the bathroom, we were delighted with each discovery. Personally, the bed was too hard for me and my husband, but it was nicely adorned with plenty of pillows of assorted poof. Both nightstands had ample USB slots for charging our devices and the coat rack on the wall inside the door was handy and a better place for our coats than the bed! I absolutely loved the ceiling decor by the elevators...a collection of ceiling medallions in a blue-silver hue, as well as the color scheme in the hallways and room doors. We took advantage of a recent drink & dine offer, a $25 credit to be used at their AKB bar/kitchen. We ordered their classic breakfast sandwich; eggs, cheese, spinach, and tomato, with this incredible savory sauce served on a toasted brioche roll (I’m salivating as I type). Delivered to our room with coffee and tea, it was one of the most memorable egg sandwiches I have ever had! The location was good - close to the Burlington Mall and so may restaurants. 3rd Avenue is also host to a couple of eating spots, bowling and arcade, and Wegman's grocery store. If I’m going on and on about this hotel, it’s because I loved it so. We are hoping to try another Archer Hotel in a different city soon!

Room was quiet, well-sized and well decorated. Can’t beat the location if you need to be in Harvard Square. Restaurants and bars in the hotel are nice, Staff are friendly, Housekeeping is good, Downsides: mattress was completely worn out and I could only sleep on one side of the bed. Also they checked another guest into my room, which I discovered when she unlocked the door and walked in at 11 pm (to her surprise). For a super-premium hotel, both of these were unacceptable. Next time I will just save $200-$400 per night and stay at the many two-star hotels in the area.

The Hotel Salem is in the downtown, dozens of shops and dining options practically out the door (or in the hotel - check out The Roof or The Counter depending on weather/season). Incredible staff all around. Most of my days were walking in one direction, checking out local spots, then stopping back at the hotel for a quick respite before heading back out.
