Very pretty hotel, interesting displays. East check-in ,Valet was convenient, easy process.Hotel employees were very Nice,and helpful with the exception of 1 employee at the Bar. She was very rude to multiple customers for no good reason, basically embarrassed 1 guy for a mistake she made! Rooms were comfortable,nice set up.I recommend a balcony view. Close to the mall and about a 5 minute walk to the Riverwalk.

First the staff was great. The issues were the restroom sink and toilet are so close you will hit the counter every time you use the facilities. I am a smaller person and still hit the counter. The noise issue I had was the room next to me was loud and people were on the phone and the tv was blaring. Night 1 I was like ok I’ll say something when I went to knock on the door I find out it was a staff room ie break room or something for the overnight crew. I wouldn’t have left this review if it were just a customer or noisy neighbor. The rest of the staff was great.

Interesting historic hotel just next to the Alamo

The Menger is a historic hotel of great beauty and style. My room was one queen size bed and had two armchairs.what I liked especially was a little nook with a desk and mirror. The hotel service was excellent for two days and then the staff decided that I must ask for service for the next 5 days. Very strange. Also if you did not catch breakfast or lunch at their main restaurant, you were stuck with mediocre tacos in their taqueria or with bar food, which was a little better, but the hours were limited.

Our stay at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio was absolutely unforgettable! The historical atmosphere of the hotel was captivating, and it felt like stepping back in time. We loved exploring the nearby supernatural tours and metaphysical shops, which perfectly complemented the hotel’s unique charm. The rooms were incredibly spacious, providing both comfort and a sense of grandeur. The location couldn’t be more convenient, with easy access to all the sights and attractions downtown. Highly recommend for anyone who loves history and a touch of the supernatural!

Would recommend

Place was great. I did not realize that the parking was valet so a fee for that byt it was convenient. Lots of towels which is a bonus in my books. Only issue we had was the tub drained very very slowly.

No AC if weather is cold, their heating is on

This is an old hotel, very pretty. If you like the room to be cold when you sleep, just know that if the weather is cold outside then their heating system will be on and that means you cannot use the AC. My husband and I sleep better when the room is in the low 60s, it was 74 in our room with no AC to cool our room down, so we had to sleep with the balcony door open.
