AMAZING Staff, thank you for your service!
Pros:

Exceptional place, will definitely return. Their attention to detail and customer respect is at a whole other level, genuinely impressed with their level of service. The rooms are ok, not impressive, which is expectable since it’s not a brand new building, but their staff make it all a fantastic experience.

Cons:

We did have a small incident where I ordered room service one night and they basically.. forgot I guess? So I ended up having to wait about 2 hours on a club sandwich. But even that situation was handled with professionalism, and it was a really good club sandwich to be fair.

A relaxing stay in a gorgeous piece of history - loved it!
Pros:

The employee who checked us in was so wonderful and gave us complimentary club access when he found out we were celebrating a birthday. The glass of champagne at check-in was also an excellent touch.

Cons:

My only "complaint" is that I wish they offered robes in larger sizes. We didn't get the chance to experience everything (spa, steakhouse, Blu), but what we did experience was fantastic!

Everything I expected from a historic hotel....and more!
Pros:

I loved the historic feel, but everything felt fresh and updated. The suite was amazing. We enjoyed the cocktail lounge and a view of the lake at sunset.

Cons:

No complaints

Beautiful hotel, great location and wonderful customer service.
Pros:

We loved that there was room service, and a pool which we used- excellent view from top floor of the lake and city!
We loved the location. It’s walking distance from Fiserv Forum and the riverwalk. Beautiful hotel and excellent customer service.

Cons:

We ordered a blanket at night but it never came and our room’s minibar faucet didn’t work.
I did mention it upon checkout and I was offered a $50 discount on the room which I thought was appropriate.

Good experience over all.
Pros:

The Pfister Hotel was an absolutely beautiful hotel. We were amazed by the architecture and art within. The staff was very knowledgeable about the building and its history, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Unfortunately, we had an issue with the cleanliness of our bathroom. The shower, specifically, had a great deal of black mold in it. So much so that my wife took it upon herself to clean the shower before our granddaughter used it. Our thought was that a hotel of this level would not have an issue like this.

All in all, we had a good experience so we would return, but we will be checking that first thing on our next visit.
