A Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway Stay
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
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).
