I work for hotels.com and have recommended this hotel to customers repeatedly without ever having stayed there myself. But I finally got my chance to try it out firsthand and I still stand behind those recommendations....even more now. I booked a last minute reservation for my birthday and was expecting to get a standard room with a double or queen ...

Babe Ruth Suite

By far the best hotel to go for a little relaxation. My husband and I stayed the weekend. The staff were very accomodating, room service was excellant, the size of the suite was spacious and roomy. The only dissappointment was that we didn't come across any ghost!!

Location is great but we expected more
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/03/08
The location is great. However our room was quite small and there was a step up to the extremely small bathroom. The front desk was not very willing to help when we inquired about directions. So we didn't bother to ask for a different room. The lobby is fabulous alot of historical display.
Don't expect the manager, Hector Venegas, to give a flip about your concerns. We were charged for two meals at the hotel's restaurant on our room bill. We didn't even buy a coke in the hotel, much less eat there. It took 6 weeks to finally be reimbursed, no apology or even a kind word. The manager never called me back, after many ...
The Hotel itself was O.K., rich with History. The room in which we stayed seemed as if were next to an airport for every night, every hour on the hour, it sounded like a jet engine outside our window. Got up the first night and looked out. Nothing there. It would make all kind of noise for about 5 minutes and then slowly subside. No airport, no ...
I picked this Hotel for its History for him and its hauntings for me. Neither of us was disappointed. The first night as we were leaving we encountered other guest complaining about what I wanted to experience. Unexplainable happenings that frightened them. This lady requested a room change and of course it was honored. The staff are extremely nice ...

Great Place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/30/08
THe Menger Hotel was a great place to stay the history of the hotel was great to be around. And the location was awsome. If you want to save on money and dont want a car then this is the place to stay walk to the Almo to the Riverwalk it is prefect. And if you like a great breakfest this is the place to go. The food was great.
If you are into historical places with class, where history has been made, and with a good measure of quality at an affordable price this is it. It has so much valuable historical value. Start by just looking at some of the photos on the wall. I suggest to specify the old section with a front street view. Does not have a real noise problem like some SA hotels. Sunday morning buffet is to die for! Menger Bar for a quite drink.
