Excellent rooms and faciliities. Staff were terrifically helpful. We were disappointed with breakfast. Poor quality dishes. Also, parking was confusing especially as we left Pfister in evening to go out to dinner and we were told to use room key to leave and return but it didn't work.

Hotel is located in a quiet, perhaps business district. Hotel common areas and rooms were fine. Staff were not readily available to help - serially in-room dining and cleaning.
