Wonderful oasis for a weekend stay during a snow storm
Pros:

I stayed in a very well done stylish suite absolutely very comfortable king bed with 4 down pillows and down comforter. Espresso bar , marble shower, living room as well spacious stay. Beautiful ornate lobby with operating fireplace and live music and beautiful bar. The 23rd floor lounge had live jazz music and beautiful bar views of the city. I enjoyed a wonderful perfectly cooked ribeye steak dinner at the Mason Grill at the hotel. I enjoyed the pools while watching the snow storm. Can’t say enough about about the excellent staff that I encountered this place is top notch!

Cons:

Parking not included in price of room if you 3rd party book. I was on a solo trip felt a bit lonely on the Sunday night stay not very bu as Saturday. Still luxurious though just nobody to share it with.

Pfister is in a great location, it’s beautiful and friendly.
Pros:

It’s beautiful, friendly staff, location

Cons:

Curtains were tough to open, in room coffee wasn’t near a plug. These are little things but when you go to a high end hotel you expect little things to be done right.
