Great place in a great city. Staff are attentive and friendly, drinks are done prefessionally, veiws from the top were great. Try out the Spa / Salon, the staff are excellent and the services are fantastic.

One of the most beautiful and historic hotels in the United States! As you walk to your room on the older section of the hotel you are cast back to a time when space didn’t matter the hallways are extremely wide and decorative and today that space would be used for additional rooms. The room was equally spacious and the beds are amazingly comfortable. I only wish I could have stayed longer.

The room they gave me was in the older historic section of the hotel overlooking an alley on the 2nd floor. My sleep was interrupted by noisy delivery trucks and dumpster collections. I kindly asked for a better room, noting that I was an iPrefer member, and was met with a “sorry we are fully booked” response. The room itself was very small and triangular shaped so it was not a $1000 room IMHO - especially in an old midwestern city. I had to remind the front desk person that I had prepaid $75 per night for Club access. She apologized again and said she did not see that on my reservation. She scrolled down and Viola- there it was. The Club itself is much like an airport lounge, but somehow they still charge you for drinks – albeit at discounted price $7 for spirits and $4 for beer. The food selection was limited- but what they offered was decent. All in all, I think you can have a better food and drink experience outside of the hotel. I wrote a kind note to housekeeping requesting extra pillows and blankets. They made sure to take the note and the $20, but left no pillows or blankets – disappointing to say the least. Five star prices with less than 5 star accommodations.

Short stay to celebrate our anniversary. Had a wonderful time at the hotel, every staff member was welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend the spa and the Pfister Club lounge. Cannot wait to return!

The location was perfect and within walking distance to great restaurants. The atmosphere was very friendly and our room in the historic side of the hotel was large and well equipped. The only downside for me was the strong perfume scent in the lobby. For those of us that get headaches from colognes it was overpowering. Please consider changing to a natural scent such as an organic cinnamon. Still what a great experience!

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.
