Southeast Wisconsin Pet-friendly Vacations

Charming vintage hotel right on the edge of downtown Milwaukee. The staff was exceptional and helpful all around. Lots of fun touches from the past around the hotel.

I was surprised that the Pfister does not have any courtesy shuttle at all. I thought it was a full service hotel. I was in Milwaukee attending a conference at a center nearly a mile away. Normally, I don't mind walking, but one day it was pouring down rain sideways, and I got soaked to the skin, despite wearing a rain coat. I ate breakfast in the hotel cafe and was shocked that cafe staff allowed a family in with a huge dog, that was wearing an obviously fake "medical alert dog" vest on. The family members were constantly petting the dog and feeding it from the table. A real medical alert dog is trained to stay on the floor, and would not be getting petted or fed from the table. This dog had it's snout on the table. Another party was seated at the same table after the dog owners left. No deep cleaning of the table was done. Having seen this, I would not eat at the cafe again.
