Roaches in the room and no one at the front desk to speak with about it. Disgusting and horrible. Thoroughly disappointed. Considered posting pictures of the roaches on social media, but I don’t want to be mean.

When we checked in, they did not have our reservation. We waited 30 minutes for them to finally resolve. Menger said the issue was hotel.com who I will call. We had no AC from the time we checked in to the time we left. They said they fixed it, but never did. They brought us a fan and we opened the window open. Breakfast was comped due to the issues. Woke up to an additional $91.49 charge. Was told due to new system it did not sync correctly and it should roll off like the incidental charge. Overall our stay was very disappointing. Oh…you get the shower adjusted to the right temp then it gets cold. Due to hard water the shower head needs replacing as it does not spray like it should. Definite quality control issues!!

Very nice, clean, and quiet historical hotel. Didn't get the opportunity to try their breakfast, but I have no doubt it's delish. The grounds are so clean and refreshing, really enjoyed our stay. Was a little disappointed with the tub missing the stopper and called the housekeeping dept., there was a little trouble with communicating, but she said she'd get in touch with someone, but after waiting an hour I gave up.

Our restroom has mold between the tiles. There was limited food at the breakfast buffet once we arrived, only options available were pastries, bacon, sausage and some hash brown. This would be the 6th time we stay at The Menger, never had these issues or complaints before.

Let me begin by saying I have stayed at the Menger on two previous occasions. The hotel is charming with its turn of the century feel and antique furnishings. We booked a Victoria Suite for the extra room available in the parlor area. We could not use that room without wearing our coats or a sweatshirt. The parlor and separate bedroom were cold. Eventually, we were provided a space heater which would heat one room to an acceptable temperature (high 60s) but not both rooms. Toilet flushing completely was another inconvenience. Wifi was non functional in the room. Had to go down to lobby area to get an acceptable signal.At $300 plus per night, we expected a room which was a little warmer than our experience.
