I am glad to have stayed in the Menger because it is so historic. The hotel had such beautiful, old architecture and pieces of art. The victorian lobby was picture perfect. The staff was very friendly and courteous, room service was fast, the room was cleam with extra pillows also, and the food was very good. the location was excellent just across from the alamo and other things to see and do. We got a trolley hop pass so we did not drive our car the entire time. The river walk was practically across the street(very easy to get to ). On the down side the room was very small, you had to step up into the bathroom and the entire hotel had a slighly old musty smell that comes with the age of the hotel. We used valet parking and it was worth it they brought our car just as we walked out to get it.

historic appeal, convenient to riverwalk and convention center, rooms could be called period, but really just need updating, loud street front, many homeless and panhandlers. Lobby smelled terrible. worth visiting if you are in SanAntonio for the history value, okay if its for a conference, not a destination hotel. got the room for would stay somewhere else for the asking price of $*

Yes, indeed. I don't think Teddy Roosevelt would notice a thing different since he was here recruiting the Rough Riders for the Spanish American War. The Pub is the same (good); so are the rooms (NOT good), the plumbing (really not good) and the decor (oh boy). Rooms are tiny; the bathroom more so. The bathroom floor is 10" higher than the BR floor - good luck, wheelchairs! The rate was three dollars less than the downtown Hilton in Austin the night before but the difference in quality and value was several orders of magnitude. Good parts - Central location, next door to a contemporaneous structure called the Alamo. Nice lobby, clean hallways. All told, if you have been doing some heavy duty sinning lately and feel the need for some penance, a few days here might be just the ticket.

This hotel blew me away. It is a rare historical beauty in an ideal location.The rooms are of average size with super high ceilings,very clean. The bathrooms are wonderful,they are the really cool old tile, they also are very clean. It was such a pleasure just being able to stay, walk around the lobby, enjoy the beautiful pool. The brunch was also wonderful,very nice. I really have nothing bad to say about this hotel. If you appreciate a blast from the past The Menger is the way to go.

First off, this hotel was not in need of being updated nor were the linens in need of replacing. The rooms were a normal sized hotel room and the beds were soft and pillows plump (4 per bed). Sheets were white and towels were fluffy and clean. Everything was clean as it could get and the staff was the most frientdly I have encountered. They were helpful and would bend over backwards for anyone. I truly felt pampered. But I only know of 1 restaurant in the hotel, which is on the pricey side so we did not eat there. The rest of the hotel is absolutely amazing. Antique furnishings scattered throughout and you just had to wonder who sat there and who used that. This hotel takes you back in time! There is a gorgeous garden you can sit in and the pool was nice as well. Down stairs next to the pool a spa is also available. There are some pretty unique gift shops and botiques inside the hotel. And with the River Walk entrance across the street in front and the Alamo across the street to the left it is in a perfect location! Valet parking is avaiable for $25/day or you can park right behind the hotel in the mall parking garge for $18/day. I want to suggest a book "History and Mystery of the MENGER Hotel". I found it after our stay and wish I had read it before. It will make your stay much more enjoyable. Also there are 2 parts to the hotel, the original and the newer. I heard the original had furnishings like claw feet tubs etc. So if you want older & charming, just ask when you check in. I want to go back just for the hotel!
