Menger was not my choice. It was my half sister visiting from Germany. Most hotels are just a place to rest your head. The hotel and its history had me hook line and sinker. The area is filled with early American history and the hotel is a big part of it. I loved my stay and the visit with my sister that I only met 2 years ago thanks to a DNA site. I am 62 and she is 60 and lives in Germany. Anyway, it is a wonderful place to stay and has a lot of interesting and somewhat haunted history. I would love to visit there again someday.

We had the standard double queen balcony room. The beds definitely not queen. Pretty small, also the shower is super small. I had to stand side ways kinda or my shoulders would either touch the wall or the shower curtain. Somerimes both at the same time.. it was super annoying. Everything else was excellent. Staff was amazing. Rooms were clean. No ghosts on my stay. I would visit again.

Construction is going on all around hotel. Crews start between 5-6am so sleeping late or at all not an option. Not the hotels fault but definitely affects your stay.

We arrived at the hotel at approximately 10:00 PM, and the following morning commenced pleasantly. We awoke early, at 5:30 AM, to enjoy sightseeing within the hotel premises and had breakfast at 6:30 AM before venturing out to explore San Antonio. My husband, a veteran, has a droopy eyelid that becomes more pronounced as the day progresses, particularly when he is fatigued. After spending some time relaxing by the pool, we proceeded to the hotel bar, where we ordered a beer and took a moment to reflect on our day. I subsequently requested a second beer for my husband; however, the bartender, Angela, declined our order. When I inquired about the reason for this refusal, she stated that my husband appeared to have consumed sufficient alcohol and that she had the right to refuse service. She then asked us to leave the bar. This unexpected directive was shocking, as we sensed that the surrounding patrons were equally perplexed. I felt a profound sense of humiliation and a lack of welcome, prompting an immediate desire to exit the premises. It was as though I had been admonished, leading me to tears, which my husband attempted to soothe as we stepped outside to gather ourselves and seek fresh air. The hotel was beautiful, but it only took one staff member to ruin it.

Great location and atmosphere. This is an older hotel, so it older heating/AC (despite the in-room digital control). Rooms are small, walls are thin and you can hear pretty much everything in the hall and next door. I expected this and still would stay there again, but heard several other patrons complaining about it to the front desk.

Wonderful historic hotel. Our room was in the oldest section, which is in need for some updating. Breakfast Buffett was nice. Lots of construction around the area. Friendly, helpful staff. Near Riverwalk. San Antonio, like most big US cities, has some homeless people. Walking around at night, you need to be aware of your surroundings.

The hotel was beautiful, and the staff were wonderful. My only complaint was the room was a little cold, however that did not ruin the experience, and we will definitely come back in the future.
