Very old hotel with a lot of charm. What was once probably a grand hotel is now an old, dingy, smelly hotel in need of renovating. It has the charm and history. Location is exceptional but bathrooms are outdated and looked dirty. It took me a while to get used to the smell in the room/hotel.

Dear Vesna, Thank you for your review. I was disappointed to read your feedback regarding the condition of the hotel, especially in regards to the housekeeping. You deserved better and please accept my most sincere apologies. While I would take some exception to your feedback, we do have some areas and rooms in the hotel that needed attention. Over the last 30 days we have actively identified those areas and have made great progress in refreshing them. As with most business, we have had challenges in staffing but I am pleased to report that our levels have stabilized over the month and we are addressing those rooms and areas that need attention. Overall I am confident that feedback like yours will be much fewer and far between. I sincerely regret the experience you had and would welcome the opportunity to win back your trust. You are welcome to contact me any time. Sincere regards, Garvin O'Neil General Manager

The Menger is a staple in history and just walking through the hotel and seeing everything that happened within its walls is an adventure all its own. For anyone who appreciates history, staying at the Menger is a must.

Location is perfect! Literally in between the Alamo and a huge shopping center. Walk across the plaza and you find the stairs to the River Walk. Very friendly and helpful staff. Our room was small but because we only slept there, it didn’t matter. Breakfast was marginal. Wouldn’t eat there unless included. Hotel controls the air conditioning other than the ability to turn on or off, but it was comfortable. Highly recommend for sight seeing. Almost everything you would want to see is within walking distance. Uber/taxi to/from airport is $40 with tip as of this writing.

I wish there was a USB port near the night stand. The lamp near the tv and with a port didn’t work until I plugged it into a different outlet.
