I’m glad that I am able to say I stayed at a historic hotel with an amazing story. It’s something that I have always wanted to do. But I don’t think I would go back. One of the main reasons is that a room close to ours was smoking a lot of marijuana. The entire hallway smelled and our room was uncomfortable with the smell. Other than that I enjoyed my time there

Thank you for letting us know about the maintenance issues during your stay. You deserved better and please accept our most sincere apologies. We did experience a major malfunction with our hot water supply and regret that it impacted your room as with others. We called in outside expertise and FedEx'ed several key components and thankfully, we have resolved the water issue. We would welcome an opportunity to win back your trust and feel free to contact me if I can be of further service. Sincerely, Garvin O'Neil, GM

Lobby, rooms, facilities generally spotless! Someone neglected elevator patrol however. Looked liked elevator floors had not been swept or vacuumed for a couple of days.

Dear Ms. Sandi, Thank you for taking the time to post your review on Travelocity. We appreciated you for recognizing our lobby, rooms and facilities as "spotless" However the elevator floor issue will be address directly to the department. At the Menger " Excellence in Hospitality " is our goal and with your review it challenges us to do more. Again, thank you and welcome back on your next visit. Sincerely, Ramon g. Orendain

The history is unique in it's history. It was great until trying to sleep. The walls are thin and you hear your neighbors talk and flush. We needed to play 2 white noise apps to try to drown out the nosie enough to sleep.

Love this place, great staff and so close to everything! Did not like that there was no heat and room was 65 degree. The bath room needs some repair to the Tub. Not towel racks. On the positive very quiet and it is very charming atmosphere hotel.

Quaint historic hotel. There was a faint smell of tobacco smoke in halls. Tight quarters but overall good room and overlooked Alamo.
