This was the first time I stayed at the Menger . It was very comfortable and right in the heart of the Alamo Plaza. The Alamo was a short walk across the street, shopping and fine dining all within a few minutes walk. The valet parking is a little expensive for me, but very convenient. They have a nice restaurant and bar downstairs, room service for the early morning breakfast in bed, and the first floor is like a little time capsule of this historic hotel. I'll come back in a future visit and stay a little longer

Hotel was really charming, I stayed with my two sons and they loved it as well. The pool area with the large scaled games were really nice, and next time we will take advantage of the pool area because it was so nice. We literally could walk a few steps away from the hotel and be inside the mall, which helped because we forgot a few clothing items. Also, there was dining near the mall, and attached to the hotel; very convenient. Everything is near there, so it was so convenient. The parking is easy because it is valet, and it's the same price no matter how often you come and go. Valet was also very quick. Everyone that worked there was very pleasant, and just helped out with a smile. I will definitely stay there each visit.
