Very pleasant overall.
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, my room was perfect, the staff very friendly and polite.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like was that on Sunday morning I had to be on a 40 min wait list for breakfast, since the restaurant made appointments for people that were not guests at the hotel and the guests didn't have a place to have breakfast.

Cons:

What we did not like was that there was an engagement party going on immediately beneath our second-floor room and the extremely loud music was blasting until 11:30 PM.

We had to get up early the next morning and had a lot of trouble getting to sleep.

When we checked in that day, they knew that we were spending only one night and they also knew that such a huge party would take place in the reception room just below our guest room.

The front desk staff should have taken the initiative to move us to another room on a higher floor, or away from the noise.

The Pfister hotel was very nice, and we were able to enjoy the Spa and restaurants.
Pros:

The Spa was very nice, clean and quiet. The experience was amazing. I was surprised at how affordable the services were. I would definitely use the Spa again. The restaurants were all very nice. The food was incredible and the service, especially at the Mason Street Grill, was exceptional.

Cons:

The hotel had to close down due to the VP visit at the time of our stay. I understand why the hotel had to take all these precautions, it was just bad timing for our visit on our part.
