Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's location and beautiful atmosphere, particularly appreciating the historic features and ambiance. The staff received high marks for their courteousness and service, making check-ins pleasant and efficient. However, several guests pointed out issues with room size and cleanliness, including noise from hallways and poorly insulated rooms. Air conditioning problems were reported, leading to uncomfortable temperatures. Breakfast options did not meet some guests' expectations, leaving room for improvement. Overall, the hotel offers a charming experience but requires attention to its facilities.

Pros (+) Amazing breakfast. Wonder king bed. The lobby rivals all others. They did a great job working with the tremendous constraints of Covid. All guests and staffed were masked in common areas. Tissue and hand sanitizers were everywhere. Pool participants were limited along with elevator riders.

Pros (+) The Club option is nice...quite a refuge from a horrible room.
Cons (-) Couldn't check in until 5:00 despite the 3:00PM check in time. Tub and sink had hair in them. Bedding was ripped.

Pros (+) Beautiful hotel with tons of character and charm. Good service, friendly staff, comfortable accommodations. Hotel lobby bar and Blu were excellent. Complimentary breakfast in the Cafe offered good food and full choice of anything on menu. Onsite amenities such as spa, shops and additional restaurants offer an extra touch.
Cons (-) For the price of the rooms, wifi was not free. Given the necessity in today's day and age, not to mention that it is complimentary in many more basic hotels, this was a big let down. Especially when service in the tower is spotty for mobile without Wifi. It felt like a nickeled and dimes amenity. Clientele felt a bit uppity.

Pros (+) We booked a last-minute room at the Pfister and loved our stay from start to finish. The room was beautiful and clean with a great view, service was stellar, and the location could hardly be improved. It doesn't hurt that the hotel is where we stayed after getting engaged! Great experience and we will definitely stay again next time we're in Milwaukee.
Cons (-) Pretty much perfect.
