Beware!!! Your vehicle may be damaged overnight, and they will claim it is not their fault. My vehicle stayed in valet parking overnight and came back with a deep dent and scratch on the front of my truck. There is construction going on nearby to the open valet lot, yet the Menger claims it did not happen while there and have refused to offer any support. The service at this hotel overall was poor.

After reading the reviews I was aware of the age of this hotel and the nuances that it entailed. Thin walls? Absolutely. I heard the snoring in the adjoining room. Probably a deal brraker if you're a light sleeper. Dirty? There was a dead roach on the bathroom floor which told me at least their pest control was working. Thermostat issues? I had the heat set at 73 and the ambient temperature wouldn't go above 67. It was 44 degrees outside. Affordability? Relative, considering that it is in the heart of the tourist district and comparable to the surrounding hotels. The $49 per day for valet, wasn't the easiest pill to swallow, but there's paid lot parking two blocks away if you want to walk. There's a refrigerator in the room - no microwave. There was an iron and full ironing board and two small closets. There was no full length mirror. The one nightstand had a lamp with outlets, which is always appreciated. The alarm clock was on the desk around the corner and not visible from the bed. Bed was very comfortable and clean. I took full advantage of the extra blanket that was in the closet. The bathroom vanity lighting was bright and helpful. It was a tub and shower combination with ledges to put your soap and toiletries. Though the water was hot, it would never fully shut off and I had to put a towel down to stop hearing the dripping from the faucet. Overall, I was content with the Menger's extremely convenient location and its ties to San Antonio's history.

Great location but the room was not clean. Bathroom was dirty. The sink was not wiped correctly and there was hair and dirt in the corners of the bathroom with splatters left on glass shelf and mirror. The pillowcases on the bed were (I’m hoping) stained and dingy. Not to mention the worst pillows ever. Very tall with no give because they were hard as rocks. Which made the bed very uncomfortable as well. Worse nights sleep ever. The room was very hot and stuffy even though the a/c was turned to 67*.

The room was clean and comfortable. Excellent service all around. Appreciated complimentary bottled water which was replenished daily. The front desk was kindly helpful for our needs. Promptly delivered a space heater and extra comforter so we were cozy and warm. They were patient and helped us with driving directions to navigate the confusing detour to get to the valet parking. Great location for walking to the Alamo and Riverwalk. We will definitely stay here again.
