Fantastic historic hotel. Signature scent is fabulous! You feel like you've stepped back in time as soon as you open the door. Quality rooms and furnishings. Beautiful woodwork and wallpapers. Lovely landscaping. A suggestion to the management: replace the printed laminated paper signs telling guests don't do this, don't go here. Have classy signs directing your guests in a positive manner, this way please, enter here, etc. Make them feel welcome rather than like a nuisance. One more suggestion, have the entrances more open, such as the one from the mall near Morton's so your guests don't have to walk through the valet drop-off area. That being said, I cannot wait to return and experience more of this historic hotel. Pictures and words do not do it justice. Plus, one cannot beat the walkable convenience to the Alamo, the mall, and the River Walk. Highly recommend staying here!

The Menger is filled with charm and history. My only complaint was check in. I was late and the gentleman who was supposed to do my check in didn’t know how. It took 20 minutes for him to complete and I found out the next day when I was called that I was never shown as arriving. They had me down as a no show and my riom as unoccupied!

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. I loved the historic nature of the hotel and all the curated pieces it had. Unfortunately, the mattress in my room (3046) was the hardest and most uncomfortable one i have had in a long time. I could literally feel the springs poking into my back, and it made for poor sleep and sore mornings. That being said, when asked, they did try and put an extra pad (1/8" thick) on it, but it didnt rectify the problem. Im sure not all beds are like this, so i dont want to dissuade anyone from going here.
