The shower wouldn't stay at one temperature. Going from very hot to very cold and back many times during a short shower. A lot of noise in the middle of the night. No sign of security. Breakfast in the restaurant (buffet) was ok, but service could have been much better.

Great stay at the Menger. We enjoyed walks to the Alamo and the river walk which was all lit up for the Holidays. Construction around the Alamo Plaza introduced some minor troubles getting around.

It is so beautiful and historic. As expected it was a challenge to get to it with all the construction. but the valet parking was a definite bonus. I was also disappointed that the restaurants were both closed so early in the evening.

Stayed at the Menger for a family reunion. The location gave easy passage to the riverwalk and numerouds restaurants. The Menger itself is a treasured museum of old San Antonio historty. There was some incovenience due to the construction remaking the Alamo Plaza.
