Reviews for The Pfister Hotel
Nice getaway splurge
The Pfister is a lovely historic hotel. Staff were helpful and professional. Our lakeview room was larger than expected, and beautifully decorated. The bed was firm, which for me is very comfortable. I would be happy to stay again. One consideration: I'm not sure the lakeview room is worth the extra expense. The lake is some distance from the hotel with many buildings in between. Yes, the lake was visible: an opening between two high-rises, but it was only a fraction of the entire view out the windows (the windows were large and wide, which was nice)

Check your bill
The Pfister is a beautiful hotel, but our experience fell short of expectations. The lobby had a noticeable stale cigarette-smoke odor, which was unpleasant and surprising for a hotel of this caliber. Breakfast was not complimentary, and unfortunately, the meal we purchased was cold and lacked any flavor. On checkout, the surprise charge $50+ for a valet that i didnt use as i arrived via lyft from airport Overall, it was an average three-star experience, but improving the lobby’s air quality and breakfast service would make a significant difference.

Overnight concert trip
This is such a beautiful hotel. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I thought the pricing was very reasonable for the level of service and luxury they provide. The food at the breakfast cafe is absolutely fantastic! The best pancakes I've ever had. Our server Najmd was wonderful. I definitely recommend you stay here!

Great Stay in a Gorgeous Hotel
The Pfister Hotel is a beautiful hotel with excellent amenities. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The champagne glass on arrival was a nice surprise. and our gorgeous room had a very comfortable bed. We’ll return to the restaurant for the food and amazing view of the lake. The hotel made a great weekend with friends even better.

It has been a week since our anniversary and we are still hearing rave reviews. Everyone thought the Pfister was beautiful, dinner was delicious and served efficiently. We can't thank you enough for your attention to details and calm demeanor. We had total confidence that the wedding would go on without a hitch with you at the helm. Thanks again for everything!

We give you a huge 10! The spa, where we had massages, is the best of its kind. The therapists are top notch, the ambiance is perfect, and the rooms wonderfully conducive to the best possible experience.
