Impeccable Short Stay in Milwaukee

After so many years, still a class act. Had a room in the tower which was large and clean and comfortable. Perhaps the most trendy place, but seems to be thriving after 130 or so years. Service was impeccable.

Staff went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant stay, offering us complimentary champagne at check-in. Our room was quiet and clean and the bed was one of the most comfortable we've had in any hotel. Dined at the restaurant on-site and ordered room service, both of which exceeded our expectations. We'll be back!

Excellent rooms and faciliities. Staff were terrifically helpful. We were disappointed with breakfast. Poor quality dishes. Also, parking was confusing especially as we left Pfister in evening to go out to dinner and we were told to use room key to leave and return but it didn't work.
