This is a historic hotel, so it will not be as sound insulated as a modern hotel. However, if you want character, central location, and a good value for the money, then this is your place.

Was a historical hotel. Very close to the Alamo and close to river walk. Housekeeping was sparse every 4 days and was supposed to be on request, but when I did request on day 3 they didnt come.

If you are wanting to stay at a piece of history look no further than Menger, you will not be disappointed. Its beauty and architect is something to see. The building next to it is the Alamo and directly across the street is the River Walk. Give it 10 stars if i could.

Spooky Prices
Staying in a very old hotel has its pros and cons. If the hotel chooses to run AC, you cannot heat your room - it is one or the other for the entire hotel. In other words, climate control is incredibly outdated. The dining area was "nice" but way overpriced and the food was as sad as the typical riverwalk tourist trap restaurants. Construction was all around the hotel. Not one person did anything to make my stay special. Valet parking was expensive, and they tried to charge me an extra day. Overall, I was not impressed - didn't even get to see a ghost.

The property was beautiful. The rooms very comfortable. Front desk and valet staff just great. Very centrally located. The room service staff very nice. However, the food served by room service left a lot to be desired. My Thai Chicken Salad was ghastly. Wrecking a salad takes some doing. They need to imporce the recipe or just take it off the menu. Grocery store bagged salad is better and so much less expensive. Take my advice and pick up sandwiches, salads and snacks at any of the many stores and restaurants in the Alamo Plaza and store them in the mjni fridge in your room.

Be aware that there is a $45 overnight wallet charge—make sure to read the descriptions carefully. Additionally, check the parking facilities around the hotel, as the fees are outrageous. While the hotel may appear to offer a reasonable price, parking is the hidden cost to watch out for.

Lots of construction and couldn’t find the entrance to the hotel, after going in circles for 20 minutes we finally found it. I’m sure the excess will be better once they finish with the renovation of the street.

Loved the old charm. Just a great history. Beds were comfortable. It was quiet, except you can hear the neighbors next door and out in the plaza. Didn’t seem like it was really busy. The valets were great. We never used our car, we were parked close to everything we wanted to explore. Tacos place attached to the hotel was excellent.

Room small
Room was alittle small. We had the classic king. Expected better service. Belle took care of us when arriving. She was great. Room was cold. Finally asked for heater . It help alot . I guess i just expected better service. Ask for accessible room. There was none available. It made it difficult when taking shower. Hotel location was awesome. Close to everything. Parking so expensive. Should include it with room.
