• Beautiful hotel. Great history and architecture.
• $25.00 overnight parking.

“The hotel is simply elegant. Right in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. Close to the waterfront and many activities and night spots. I would most certainly stay again.”

• Friendliness of the staff and beauty of the lobby.

“Very attractive, helpful and friendly staff and the electronic key worked perfectly each time we entered the room - TV was easy to operate and in excellent working order.”

• Old world friendly service.
• Dated bathroom.

“The Pfister hasn't changed much in 20 years. It has a beautiful lobby and the cafe has very good food and service. The decor and bathrooms are dated looking. The bathroom fittings could use updating. The style of the hotel is a bit old fashioned for my taste, but I can see most travelers enjoying the old world elegance. Just not my style but a great hotel.”

• It is absolutely beautiful.
• The hotel is musty and smelled like cigars.

“The hotel was beautiful and the hotel staff was excellent but the air quality was poor. The hotel is older and smells musty and like cigars.”

• The rooms were elegantly decorated.
• Put off by staff.

“There were two major down points to this hotel for me. The first was the room we got was smoking, and smelled extremely bad. When I called the front desk, they said their hotel was completely smoke free. Odd, since there were ashtrays with the hotel logo in the room. The other was that I asked a couple people about a local attraction and both people said pointed me to the concierge; however, it was obvious that the concierge was already closed for the evening. Since the event I was hoping to go to was for that evening, and the staff refused to help in place of the concierge, I ended up having to find something else to do.”

• Convenience to the Summer fest Grounds was very favorable. Location played a major role in our selection. Access to good restaurants was excellent.
• A hot tub in the pool area would have been nice.

“Overall we were very pleased with this hotel. We will stay there again next year.”

• The staff was friendly and attentive to every need.
• No free internet access, no free continental breakfast.

“If you want a cushy stay at a lovely landmark hotel, the Pfister is the place to be. Every question and need is met with a smile and friendly service. However, amenities normally found for free at budget hotels - such as internet access or free continental breakfast - are missing, and the carpet in some suites is old and smells dank.”

• Great location.
• Pretty expensive.

“The Pfister is a beautiful historic hotel in downtown Milwaukee. It's within walking distance to many attractions, so it was very convenient. There is also an amazing view from the 23 floor martini lounge "Blu". The only drawback is the price.”

• Beautiful, grand, older hotel.
• Curt desk clerk and expensive add ons like internet and parking.

“Beautiful, grand, old hotel in business section of downtown Milwaukee. This fancy hotel was without a shuttle to the convention center and a ten block walk to the convention center is a bit too far for most conventioneers with gear to carry. Great for the business traveler with an expense account, but expensive parking, internet service, and lack of a free shuttle service compromised the overall value of this hotel.”
