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.

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.
