My stay at The Pfister Hotel was a mix of enjoyable and disappointing experiences. The hotel's historic charm and cleanliness were impressive, and the staff was genuinely friendly and attentive. However, the limited amenities during my visit due to COVID-19, along with the experience with room service and the tub size, were letdowns. Overall, I appreciated the ambiance and decor, but some aspects of the service and offerings fell short of my expectations. 😊
