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!!

We had an amazing stay at this hotel over Thanksgiving! From the moment we walked in, the grandiose and beautifully designed lobby set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Our room was outstanding—immaculately clean, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed. The attention to detail and quality of service were exceptional. Honestly, there’s hardly anything not to love about this place. It’s clear that they go above and beyond to ensure a perfect guest experience. We can’t wait to return!
