Great location downtown, close to riverwalk, right across the street from the Alamo.
No ventilation in the room, so bring a small portable fan. Events in the plaza across the street (protesters, musicians) can be quite loud and go on late into the evening. The card/lock system for the room often malfunctioned and wouldn’t let us in.
I like the over all feel for the hotel.
The size of the room. But looked at the other rooms and i guess for a bit more you gst more space.
The hotel's location can't be beat: a block away from the Alamo, a couple blocks away from the convention center, and right next to a shopping mall with a wide variety of restaurants and stores. The staff was very friendly.
The room worked for what I needed, but it could have been better. The bathroom was small and was, for some reason, built 6-8 inches higher than the rest of the room. You could hear everything through the walls.
I stay here often and I have tried other places it's so luxurious for the money and the location is in the middle of everything!
We liked the location so much!! Just besides the Alamo, and the hotel is nicely preserved!!

San Antonio's 1859 hotel was all it promised. Perfect central location next to the Alamo, and the Menger Hotel itself is rich in history, generously displayed throughout the building.

One note of special interest: the maid was a great source o...
The view from the window? - a wall! Next time we will ask for a courtyard or other external, interesting view. Otherwise, all was well.Read more
Beautiful hotel with charm and character. So close to everything and convenient for someone on foot/ for public transport/ for tours. Great pool. People working there were very nice - allowed late check out at 1:00pm.
A bit noisy at night - one night it was loud drunk tourists, once it was random construction at restaurant in mall next door, & once the fire alarms went off. I don't think it's the hotel's fault though.
Ordered breakfast off the restaurant menu. It was high priced and the portion size was small. 1 breakfast taco with sides was $16!
