Menger Hotel

COOL PLACE! LOVE THE FEELING OF GOING BACK IN TIME AND THE HISTORY OF THE AREA! PERFECT DOWTOWN SA LOCATION! WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK !!

I stayed a the Menger because the hotel that my conference was at was on the expensive side. The Menger was a quick walk from everything I needed to be near. The staff were supportive, courteous, and helpful in all of my questions--they pointed me in the right direction, made dinner reservations, and even (actually) remembered me from one transaction to another. The room was clean, but the shower was dreadful! The water sprayed all over the bathroom and the water temp seemed to change every minute as other guests used water in their rooms. Comfortable, central and a great historic hotel--but with "historic" you seem to have slightly less than perfect creature comforts!

Our stay at Menger Hotel was fantastic. We could look out our window and see the Alamo, or throw a rock and hit the riverwalk. The hotel itself was beautiful with great food, shopping and a friendly staff. We very much appreciated the historical value of the hotel.

The Menger Hotel is great historic hotel with all the modern conveniences. The location is great for all sightseeing - across from the Alamo, handy to the Riverwalk, walking distance to several sights plus every type of transportation is available just outside the doors.

Great location. Expensive. Great ambiance. No breakfast.

I stayed 3 nights at this hotel and had mixed feelings about it. I will start with the positives: The Mengor has a great location. It is within walking distance of the Alamo, Riverwalk, Mall, Convention Center, Ripley attractions, and many other places. Also there is a lot to look at while walking around the hotel. Heated outdoor pool, hottub, fitness room (few cardio machines) and a good restaurant. Also the staff is very friendly. Now with the negatives: They charged $27.03 per day for parking. This is not optional since there is nowhere else to park. Also they do not tell you the price of parking until you are checking out and are paying for it. If you are planning to stay here, make sure you factor this into your decision when looking at the price of the rooms so that you don't leave feeling ripped off like I did. Also the room itself is very small considering the price per night. Just the room alone would make me believe this was a 1 or 2 star hotel.

My stay was for an event at the convention center which was just a short walk. Also located next to the Mall, I shopped on my way back each night. Ate at the Menger Restaurant, food was fabulous, elegant dining room and wonderful staff. Will be back for sure with husband.

We just returned from SA, where we stayed at the Menger for two nights. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is great. You walk out the back & you are in the Rivercenter Mall. The room was clean, bathroom clean, and no complaints. About the only thing was the room was COLD. We had a drink at the bar which was pretty cool considering it's history. Unfortunately I could not believe the bar was actually out of a lot of drinks. Only 2 tequilas?! Overall great value & would gladly stay there again in a heartbeat.

Room was so small. Had not been decorated since the Alamo. Dinner was the worst experience ever, firstly ordered prime rib waitress came back with smile on face and said not available, my husband then ordered fillet mignon she came back yet again to say not available. Finally we ordered veal and rib eye steak .... It was cold we refused th meal and ended up not eating there. Staff really did not care about the customer service. We will NEVER go back to that hotel again

I went to San Antonio for my birthday and my boyfriend suggested that we stay at the Menger (he heard about it in a song lol). I said okay and it was much better than I expected. We got lucky because our room directly overlooked the Alamo. The hotel has the Alamo on one side and the mall /riverwalk on the other so the location is perfect. We parked the car and walked everywhere for the weekend. The room is smaller than a normal hotel but there is so much to do that we didn't spend anytime in the room anyway. We will stay there again when we go back.
