Reviews for The Pfister Hotel
Great Hotel!
We stayed at the Pfister Hotel for a two day stay before a Viking Great Lakes Cruise sailing from Milwaukie. When we first arrived, it was like entering a grand hotel from the early 1900's complete with all of the grandeur of a premier hotel. We were greeted by a very professional front desk agent as well as the hotel porter staff who were fabulous. Our room was on the 12th floor and was perfect in every way possible. The first thing that we noticed was that the room was very quiet. As we were Viking Cruises related guests, we were advised that the rooms only get made every other day which turned out to be misleading as on the second day I asked for fresh towels and coffee only to find out that our room was, in fact, "refreshed" and I ended up with more towels and coffee that I needed, with my point being that hotel management pays significant attention to detail which filters down to staff. Breakfast in the lobby restaurant was very good and attended by a very attentive and professional staff. The location of the hotel was very convenient to many attractions to include the Farmers Market that you can pick up snacks, gifts or a bottle of wine if you are so inclined. There are many very good restaurants within walking distance as well. All in all, a very pleasant stay and if Milwaukee is on our future radar, The Pfister will be our hotel of choice.

Incredible property with outstanding service.
I’ve stayed at the Pfister before and hosted business events there. I haven’t been since the dis the complete remodel and was concerned the renovations would cause it to lose its charm. Not the case at all. The rooms are beautiful, fresh and full of charm. Best of all is the service in EVERY area of the hotel. I experienced eating and drinking in all areas and the service was consistently outstanding.

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.
