Recent Pfister Hotel Review: "The Pfister Hotel was a very good choice for attending the Summerfest in Milwaukee. The location is excellent for walking to the event and to some surrounding pubs and restaurants. We found that we did not have to take any cabs or shuttles to the events. It was a good 15 a€“ 20 minute walk to the grounds, but the people were friendly and crowd control near the grounds was very good. There are a number of pubs and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel too.
The main restaurant of the hotel was nice. It would be better if it was open a little bit more, but closing for three hours between lunch and dinner seemed a bit much. We were able to have dinner there once but most times access was too inconvenient compared to what is available outside the hotel.
The pool lacks a hot tub or steam room, or at least they are not anywhere near the pool itself. The pool is very unique though. It is good for simple swimming or lounging, but the view out of the windows on the tower are amazing! Plus, if you go when the sun is on that side of the hotel, you can almost get a tan indoors while swimming or sitting beside the pool.
We had a suite in the old part of the hotel. It was a nice two room suite. The bed was very comfortable and the sitting area right in from the door was a good place to read and relax too. The bathroom was mixed. The tub was tiny but the sink/counter area was very well laid out. The closet was good for one suitcase but not two. Plenty of hangers available.
Generally the staff treated us very well. The bell man did break our luggage when taking it out of storage on our departure, and since we were kind of in a rush we did not file a claim. Getting housekeeping to replace a robe that was dirty was too hard so we gave up on the second attempt. But the front staff were very friendly and helpful on check in and check out. Funny story, we called the Concierge about the pool and they told us to take towels, yet there is a towel rack at the pool.

| A short guide to Downtown Milwaukee |
|
Downtown Milwaukee’s blue-collar breweries used to define this fictional home of “Laverne and Shirley” and “Happy Days”. Now, the town is just as famous for the Santiago Calatrava-designed Milwaukee Art Museum, an architectural gem, and the Summerfest, an annual lakefront music festival. The Brewers baseball team plays at Miller Park, with sausage races drawing devoted fans.
