Quiet , comfortable , and the best customer service in the city . This hotel is in the middle of everything but still remains quaint and sophisticated. We will be staying here again.

You can hear 1920's music in its bathroom it was cool and the employer mike was so kind and sweet to let us switch rooms after that it was wonderful being this haunted historian hotel !

Rene Martinez

I love this hotel !!! The pool is amazing and I do believe this place is haunted!

It is a must to go into the bar and admire the commemorative paintings . It is also the same bar where Teddy Roosevelt recruited the "Rough Riders" in 1898. Photo courtesy Oyster.com

The staff was nice even though my keys got locked in the trunk & they lost a very important package (still MIA). Very close to Alamo (just outside the front doors) & a block away from the River Walk.

Karl Mooney

Be sure to walk the halls and the bar and view/read the pictures and memorabilia of the hotel’s rich history.

Very cool (not for little children, saw a few crying). if you do come here, and don't mind paying a little extra cash for the King Ranch Suite, do it. I'm convinced the hotels haunted!!!!

The courtyard is nice relaxing place to smoke a cigar from ClubHumidor in the lobby.

Step back in time to an elegant relaxed era. Clean , quiet and very different.

The 1130am brunch $11.95 is an OMFG. Homemade everything- omelet bar , carving station, strawberry shortcake , mousse , pecan pie , smoked sausage , soups , salads . A bargain, I'd have paid $24.95

Lovely Hotel Experience ;)

Historic Menger Hotel where Teddy Roosevelt recruited the Rough Riders for the Spanish American War. Great Lunch Buffet and the Bar is Wonderful & Historic. Drink & learn History. Read more

They play overhead music from the 40's. it has a Stanley Hotel vibe. I keep looking for a kid on a big wheel to zoom past me.

Awesome historically haunted hotel

Shah Martinez

Take plenty of pictures. You never know what you may find on them.

Clark Winslett

The toilets sound like airplane toilets and the room was tiny. It was cool to be in a historic hotel but it needs some updating.

Susy Stone

If you're visiting the Alamo you may as well stop by this historic Hotel . Loved it.

Meredith Wharton

The hotel is old. But it's historic. It's a nice comfortable stay

Jamie Balagia

You have to scream at the bartender to get the television turned to football .

Ronda D

Several stays in the old section but no sightings. I am disappointed!

Chad Blakley

Be careful in the showers . When a toilet in an adjacent room flushes, the temperature of the shower fluctuates significantly.

Ryan Frazier

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy....

Christopher Michon

Showers that will knock you into tomorrow

Colleen Boyle

If you do nothing else, goto the lunch buffet !!

Jennifer Boone

Why are full sized beds even an option at this hotel ??? Very uncomfortable stay since the AC wasn't working either.

Kelsey Kaitlin

come walk around inside and get scared!! this hotel is haunted!! careful not to get kicked out though if you are not a guest!

Kimberly F

Brunch is fabulous!!

Mari Juarez

There us a ghost that steals one earring.....beware!

David Lamb

this place is a real piece of work. stay here if you love the smell if bleach/urine (lobby) or mildew (room)

Sarah Ledet

Don't stay here. Worst shower ever and it's not really haunted. I saw the valet guys wreck someone's car into a pole as well .
