Alamo plaza is under construction so it was a little hard to find but once we found it it is AMAZING. If you like Texas history, the Menger is the place to stay. We looked at old photos in the hallway for over an hour alone. The room was very clean and comfortable, the staff friendly, professional and efficient. Well worth the trip.

Nice, Historic site. Area attractions easily accessible. What they don’t mention is that they either Valet your car for $59 a day or you find parking on your own. Also don’t understand why breakfast isn’t complementary, the buffet was not worth $25. If your room is on the historic side, bring a fan because the AC might not really work in your room.

Valet, meh...

Main disappointment was valet. They let people stop in the the middle of the drive to unload, not allowing room for others to leave. I HAD plenty of time to get to my destination, I almost missed the ceremony.

We visited this hotel on a tour of San Antonio. We were so impressed with the history and the beauty of the hotel that we immediately booked a night here. It is so convenient to the Alamo and the Riverwalk. The hotel is full of history and is a fascinating place to be.

Shower water, temperature variation

The showerhead was so clogged up with calcium scale. Very little water came out. When the came out, it vacillated between cool and stalling hot temperatures. This is a huge safety concern.

Ok, but pricy

The hotel is beautiful and was fun to visit. The room was dusty. The future had splatter on the base of the dresser that no one could be bothered to clean up. The tub was flaking off the coating of paint. There was no daily room service. For the nightly charge you would expect four or five stars service not two star service.

We won't stay here again...

location was great. Beds very hard and small. Not enough power in the room to run coffee make, refrig, tv and lamps. Had to unplug lamp to run coffee maker. Bath was terrible like taking a shower in a camper trailer it was so small. $50 per day to park. Yes they charge you for the day you check out
