The room was too small. The toilet was too close to the sink so it was very unconfortable to use. There were nats and we constantly had to kill several. The AC was not working propertly and the room was to cold on saturday evening thru sunday morning the same day we had a winter storm.

Beware!!! Your vehicle may be damaged overnight, and they will claim it is not their fault. My vehicle stayed in valet parking overnight and came back with a deep dent and scratch on the front of my truck. There is construction going on nearby to the open valet lot, yet the Menger claims it did not happen while there and have refused to offer any support. The service at this hotel overall was poor.

After reading the reviews I was aware of the age of this hotel and the nuances that it entailed. Thin walls? Absolutely. I heard the snoring in the adjoining room. Probably a deal brraker if you're a light sleeper. Dirty? There was a dead roach on the bathroom floor which told me at least their pest control was working. Thermostat issues? I had the heat set at 73 and the ambient temperature wouldn't go above 67. It was 44 degrees outside. Affordability? Relative, considering that it is in the heart of the tourist district and comparable to the surrounding hotels. The $49 per day for valet, wasn't the easiest pill to swallow, but there's paid lot parking two blocks away if you want to walk. There's a refrigerator in the room - no microwave. There was an iron and full ironing board and two small closets. There was no full length mirror. The one nightstand had a lamp with outlets, which is always appreciated. The alarm clock was on the desk around the corner and not visible from the bed. Bed was very comfortable and clean. I took full advantage of the extra blanket that was in the closet. The bathroom vanity lighting was bright and helpful. It was a tub and shower combination with ledges to put your soap and toiletries. Though the water was hot, it would never fully shut off and I had to put a towel down to stop hearing the dripping from the faucet. Overall, I was content with the Menger's extremely convenient location and its ties to San Antonio's history.
