A Beautiful Historic Hotel
Stayed in the Menger Hotel for 5 nights to attend a very large scale conference in San Antonio. It is a beautiful historic hotel with a relaxing courtyard and swimming pool. It is centrally located just next to Alamo, River Centre and the River Walk. The Convention Centre is also only within 5-min walk. Its restaurant provides a classic dining environment with historic colonial atmosphere. The wonderful Texas steak is highly recommended, do ask for a 20% discount card for the restaurant when check-in. The room is well decorated with classic early 20th century furniture and the room size is reasonable. What’s more, the wifi is free!
Due to the large scale of the conference, the Menger and most of the other nearby hotels were full. I understand this stress test is not easy for them. During my stay, the in-room coffee packs were out-of-stock, the towels could not be replaced every day, and there were other minor problems. But they tried to fix them and provided alternatives, e.g. they set up a free coffee station outside the restaurant for the in-house guests; which I did appreciate their effort. Overall, I would recommend this hotel!
