Our expert hotel planners periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person.
"Location, History and a Little Mystery"
Overall Score4.5/ 5
If you like History and want to be able to tell a story about your stay, the Historic Menger Hotel is the place to stay. From their great location, just minutes from the RiverWalk and Convention Center to their high ceiling, stained glass window in the ceiling of the foyer to the Restaurant to the Historic Alamo the Menger has it all. The high ceilings and arched molding in the restaurant makes you want to stay for a while. The food is very tasty and affordable. Nothing compares to the Breakfast buffet with made to order omelets and waffles. One thing you don't see these days are telephone booths, if you want to step back in time get some change and make a call. If relaxation is what you are looking for The Alamo Spa should be on your must do list. Because of its great history and yes a little mystery the hotel is World Renowned and featured often for their none paying guest, how ghostly? Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure the Menger is the place to stay. Their friendly staff will assist you with your arrangements.

A fitness room, Jacuzzi, and the on-site, full-service Alamo Plaza Spa mean guests can truly relax without even leaving the hotel premises. For your dining pleasure, the locally renowned Colonial Room Restaurant and the Menger Bar are also on-site.

We ended up booking a total of 44 rooms, with different checking-in check-out days, times, people, etc., and Steve has been awesome to work with. Also, Steve is making special arrangements for an "after hours" tradition.I need to make group reservations at least twice a year and I now have a website that makes that a whole lot easier!"
