We were there for our honeymoon and so looking fwd to being at this beautiful and historic hotel. We added special requests in our reservation asking for amenities to purchase for our honeymoon room. No one answered. Emailed hotel concierge. No one answered. Asked check in employee and she was dismissive and ignored us, complaining she was left there alone and didnt know anything we asked. So we asked to speak to a mgr at this point to just ask if we could purchase a honeymoon pkg or anything at all to make our trip special. We spoke to the mgr on duty that night named Cara, maybe - not sure her name. She said she would call concierge and let us know. We never heard from anyone again. So our honeymoon night there was spent stressed out and very disappointed. 😔 Would not recommend if ur trying to arrange to celebrate anything. You will get ignored. But ..beautiful grounds and pool area. Room was clean and beautifully decorated but bed was awful/very uncomfortable. Great shops inside hotel and a very close walk to riverwalk and shops/restaurants/the Alamo.

This is a nice older hotel and it's right in the middle of downtown San Antonio. My one warning would be beware of the parking fees. If you are driving a car, this hotel will cost you an extra $50/day for parking. It's Valet only, so you can also add that to your total.

The room was clean and equipped. The staff were slightly lacking on friendliness and service. There was a food service tray at the room next to ours that remained in the hallway over 48 hours. The was also large clumps of dirt ( or animal feces ) outside our floors elevator doors. The rodeo was in town. The valet staff were great. I was a little surprised to see a 2 1/2% credi card recovery fee on the bill

Nothing was said about the construction and street blockage. Very confusing and hard to park and that was very expensive. The walls are so thin we could here snoring in the room next to us. The staff was nice hard to understand but nice. The hotel was clean and the antiques in the lobby were very nice. Biggest problem was getting to the hotel.

The history of the hotel is great. But, means old, small bathrooms. The room was dated and the bed was just ok. No luxury there. The staff was not friendly or helpful. Long lines for valet and the front desk. The drinks in the historic bar were horrible. Cheap wine and terrible margaritas ( which is bad for being in Texas). No waitstaff in bar.

Our room was next to construction being done on the Alamo. Very noisy. Bathrooms need updating. The room air conditioner would not stop running. We could not control it. The hotel said they controlled the air. We were freezing. Had too just shut unit off. They were supposed to bring a portable heater but I had to call three times and wait a while for it to arrive. When checking out they said they would email my receipt. After two calls back to hotel asking for and emailed receipt I still have not received one. Disappointed!

We book two rooms. When we got to our room, we found leftover food in the fridge. We reported it to room service, they said they would send someone to throw it out. No one came. When we went for ice, green and black gunk came out. It was nauseating! When we returned to the room at night, our room smelled like they were cooking in our room. We reported all of these things and they gave no confidence in their services. It was not a comfortable stay.

Wonderful staff and the best of locations. The rooms were lovely and the Menger Bar was terrific. The only issue was the bathroom, which had no stable water temperature control and a bizarre pipe in the ceiling above the shower which dripped cold water into the bathtub. This made for a somewhat challenging showering experience.

The dining hall was only open for breakfast. During our stay the front desk gave key cards to our room to another couple while we were occupying it. Not a pleasant surprise when strangers enter your room without your knowledge or permission. No apologies for their error. Water in bath tub dripped constantly and couldn’t be stopped. $300.00+ a night you would expect better.
