It's a beautiful hotel and close to the Riverwalk. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom fine, but the air conditioning wasn't working properly. The temperature stayed at 73 degrees no matter how we set the thermostat and because it wasn't cooling the room it felt slightly damp the whole time.

Wait until Alamo construction is done
This is an old hotel so the amenities are add-ons to what was there before. Unfortunately the city is doing a major upgrade to the park around the Alamo so there is construction, dust, and detours.

The Menger Hotel is great for a short get a way. My wife and I saw it on the TV Show “The Texas Bucket List”. Although it’s an older hotel they have done an excellent job with taking care of the building. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful historic property in the heart of San Antonio. There is a lot of construction going on in front of the hotel near the Alamo but I could not hear noise from my room. My room had an adjoining door to the next room and I could hear every word, yawn and tv show they watched. They weren’t loud, there was just no noise buffer so it felt like we were sharing a room. The lobby is gorgeous and the hotel is in a great location across from the Alamo and The Shoppes. It is a short walk to the Riverwalk. Parking was about $45 a day.

Great location in San Antonio with great service but unfortunately a lot of construction in the Alamo square area detracted from the overall experience.
