The pool and surrounding area were great. Lovely to relax after a hard days sight seeing. Would recommend Menger Hotel any time.
Didn't actually get to eat in the hotel, but the adjoining Tapas bar was worth a visit.
This hotel was a wonderful departure from the cookie cutter hotels you see now. The history shines through, and it is still very well maintained with modern amenities.
Great location and a very nice hotel with fantastic history. Only complaint is how small the showers are and the temperature fluctuation in the water. However, we would stay there again.

Beautiful old historical hotel does need some renovation and some updates hope they continue to work some these things out as staff and historic vale of the hotel are wonderful
Beautiful room with good size balcony facing Alamo Plaza. Very close to Fiesta activities. The only hiccup was the broken coffee machine. We made another reservation for the following night because we enjoyed it so much
Everything was wonderful in this historical hotel. It's right next to the Alamo and River Center Shopping Mall and the San Antonio Riverwalk only a few blocks away. I paid $363.55 for two nights with all taxes and fees...group discount for scheduled events held there with Texas Historical Association.
Parking was also discounted with group...normally $55 overnight.
