My husband has stayed at the Menger several times and has always liked it, and this was my first stay. My husband checked in a couple days before me and I joined him for the weekend. We stayed in the older part of the hotel. The hotel has a lot of charm and history and it's fun walking around exploring.... More

I stayed there for the first time this week. Usually I stay at the new hotels downtown because of my business. However, I decided to try the Menger and I'm glad I did. This hotel took me back to the 1940's first of all. In the lobby, music was playing from the big band era, 1940's. The room was quaint... More

We did not actually stay at this hotel, other family members did and we spent some time there with them. Their room was lovely and they had a great view of the Alamo. Gorgeous lobby and friendly staff. Would love to stay here some time. Right in the heart of San Antonia. Everything within walking distance... The price they paid... More

My husband and I were looking for something with a better location than the hotel we had been staying in previously. We also didn't want to spend too much money. We were thrilled to find such a good deal and be so close to downtown and to the Alamo! We loved the history in the Menger as well. Our room... More

When we arrived a snooty gentleman said we had arrived before the check-in time but he would give us a room anyway. The elevator near our room was broken, so we had a long round-about walk. The room was the size of a closet, and we could barely get our suitcases inside. We reserved a king bed, and the room... More

We were upgraded to the Teddy Roosevelt suite from a regular room due to problems with our cards not working in the door of our room.

We were in San Antonio for 2 days and wanted a convenient base for the Alamo, Riverwalk, etc. & the Hotel Menger fit the bill nicely.

We love being able to stay in old historic inns and hotels. The Menger is no exception to this. It just exudes elegance and class of a bygone era. We like to take the time and absorb all that this hotel has to offer. You can almost imagine Teddy Roosevelt recruiting his Roughriders in the Menger Bar. Walk along the... More

I stayed at the Menger many years ago and loved it. I had a wonderful room with beautiful antique furniture. I returned this week with two colleagues for a conference. The hotel itself is still lovely but the sleeping rooms are outdated to the point of being comparable to a Days Inn. There is a difference between historic and old...the... More
