A must for history buffs.
With a location adjacent to the famous Alamo, this hotel is perfect for people in love with the history of the old west. In addition to its location and place in history that is tied to figures like Teddy Roosevelt and Davey Crockett, this hotel utilizes period furnishings and interior features that are reflective of the storied past.

Top class food and drinks on-site.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Some guests find the rooms a little small.
With more than 300 individual guestrooms at the Menger Hotel, space comes at a premium. As a result the private accommodations are a little small according to some guest standards, and can leave residents feeling cramped.
negative:
Parking is hard to come by.
Given this hotel's downtown location, parking is extremely challenging to come by. While the hotel does offer an on-site valet option, this service can be costly for people staying at the hotel long-term.
negative:
Carpeting throughout could use replacing.
One piece of this historic hotel that has seen better days is the carpeting. Throughout the Menger Hotel the carpets appear old and worn out. They also leave a musty smell in the air throughout the property.
