"The staff was so sweet, especially the valets. Everyone was always available to help. Everything is pretty much walking distance and the price is pretty reasonable too so I think it's a great place to stay if you wanna explore San Antonio."

Menger Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is old, that’s part of the charm. The rooms are large, outdated and also charming. It’s a vibe. We could have paid similar for a newer hotel but would lose out on the location, the pool, and the amazing staff. I will return to San Antonio and I will always stay at the Menger."
