We had an exceptional stay at the Pfister! Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We were met with outstanding customer service every time we interacted with hotel staff. We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace and eating breakfast in the cafe. Gavin served us breakfast and was working the bar and he was attentive and never let our coffees get low! This hotel was extra cozy and they had decorated for Christmas which made things feel magical. Cannot recommend the Pfister enough and will definitely stay there in the future!!

Outstanding and perfectly updated. We received a high floor and adjoining rooms. It was luxurious and comfortable. Service was excellent and food at bar was excellent. Finally, setting the temp in room was easy and accurate (many old buildings are overheated in winter and this was easy to set to just what you want).

Very clean and well kept. The only complaint is how expensive parking is for guests. It should be free or much lower if you’re a guest of the hotel.

Only stayed one night...then tried Saint Kate for the first time. Only issue was there was no shampoo in the bathroom.

We loved everything about the hotel. Wonderful atmosphere for relaxing and gathering in the lobby. The staff were all lovely and welcoming The only blemish was a bartender Daniel who made us feel like an absolute inconvenience. Maybe he should consider a career other than hospitality.
5.0 / 10.0
It was pretty good. Beds were comfortable. Hotel was pretty nice. Great jazz music on top floor with view and good drinks up there too. Overall I was unimpressed with the quality but the classic nature of the place is pretty neat and it is modern and fancy.

A beautiful hotel. Highly recommend to travelers! The staff are fabulous and the building is amazing. Easy parking and within walking distance of Summerfest. Room service at 11 pm was fantastic! Our room was perfect and we slept great!
3.0 / 10.0
Always love the Pfister but this time I stayed on the second floor in the historic section. The hotel booked wedding party afternoon snacks and breakfast in the area right outside our door. Being awakened by people at 7 am right outside my door wasn’t great, neither was walking thru the tables and people to get to the elevator. Awkward.

The hotel staff are very kind, professional, and welcoming. The hotel rooms are clean. In room dinning is reasonably priced and delicious.

Not as clean as expected. Housekeeping came in the first day and made the bed but did not vacuum or clean the bathroom. Soap dish empty as was shower pump. No top sheet on bed only heavy comforter. Not ideal in summer. All was taken care of when they first asked how my stay was going. First impressions are key!

The lobby is beautiful and makes you feel like you are in a really special hotel. The staff at check in was extremely welcoming, offered a glass of Champaign, gave great suggestions for dining and also gave me an upgrade to a higher floor. The staff in the restaurant was also great and the food was great (we had breakfast there).

Staff was marvelous about changing our room when the one we were assigned was not a handicap room. I gave a score 4 for comfort as chairs in the room were difficult for handicapped person to get out of. Loved the hotel would definitely stay again.

We love staying at the Pfister when we travel to Milwaukee! The pool is a must with little ones. Location is great, and the parking ramp is so convenient and easy to use. 10/10!
6.0 / 10.0
The staff was exceptional. From the valet guy answering questions, even though I wasn't using valet, to the front desk clerks, cleaning people, etc. All very friendly and helpful. The king bed was not pillow top comfortable and the blackout curtains were too short and had spaces so it didn't black out the room, very hard to sleep.
