Menger Hotel Reviews

I have to agree with the review below.. the catering director Zarelda is so wonderful. We loved interacting with her. She is very kind and personable and responds promptly to your emails and phone calls! The food here is really good and this ve...
nue has so many beautiful spots for photos. I would choose the Menger again if I had to do it over.
Zarelda is AMAZING!! The staff at the Menger are warm and welcoming. LOVED the hotel and its rich history! Beds and showers are incredible! Food is FANTASTIC!! HIGHLY recommend this venue!!
We had both our wedding ceremony and our reception at the Menger Hotel and everything was PERFECT. The staff made sure everything went smoothly and we got so many compliments on the venue and food!
The Menger was beyond what I imagined! Zara, the event coordinator there, was extremely helpful from day one of the process. She was able to deliver what I wanted and it came out beautifully :) At first she was going to have the cocktail hour r...
ight next to the ballroom (which is where everyone usually has it) but it wasn’t what I wanted. So she allowed it to be right in the old part of the hotel, which gave it an antique, elegant ambience! And of course the ballroom itself is gorgeous with three beautiful chandeliers. The best part was that the bars and photo booth were located adjacent to the ballroom so people would walk over for small talk and then come in to dance the night away! Great use of space. I highly recommend Menger :)
The Menger Hotel has always been near to our hearts so when it came time to choose a wedding venue it was an obvious choice. I initially was terrified that the hotel would not be in the budget but much to my surprise The Menger was well within...
my budget. I had a $15,000 budget and 110 guests. I was able to stay well within my budget and have a beautiful wedding. We used the Minuet room for our ceremony and the large ballroom for our reception. My guests assumed we spent more than $20,000 on the venue, food, and bar. Hector, Zara, Monika Vega, Monika Gonzales, Angela, Roxanne, and Rose were all so amazing, so comforting, and so patient through everything. My fairytale wedding became a reality and I have them to thank for it. The entire staff at the hotel is truly amazing. I never want to leave! It was the best decision I could have made!
We didn't have our wedding here, so I can't comment on those services provided by the hotel, but we stayed at the Menger on our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. The location was perfect, the staff were nice and friendly, and the hotel itself...
is BEAUTIFUL. Valet and room services were also great. We loved all of the historical aspects of the hotel and that everything was in walking distance- we didn't take our car out of the lot once during our stay! We'll definitely be going back for future stays in San Antonio and definitely recommend the Menger Hotel!
The Menger Hotel was a really great place to have both my ceremony and reception. The ceremony was in the Minuet room and even though we had about 130 people, the ceremony felt intimate. The reception was held in the Ballroom and the banquet st...
aff was there to help every step of the way. I received a lot of compliments about how beautiful the hotel was and how the setting was perfect for a wedding.
The Menger Hotel hosted my 185 guest wedding reception and it was a wonderful experience. Monica Vega made sure our room block was organized and that all of my out of town guests got a great rate and beautiful room. Monica Gonzales was our main...
point of contact for catering and room layout and was very communicative and respectful of our every request. Hector did a fabulous job of coordinating the decor and room layout to best accommodate our needs and guest size. Finally, my guests still rave about how delicious the food stations were. The Menger allowed us to choose specific food items to be featured and pulled them off perfectly. Highly recommend this venue to any bride looking for that authentic San Antonio-style wedding!
We used the Menger Hotel as our reception venue and our hotel accommodations.
As a Reception Venue the Menger was perfect. The ballrooms were beautiful and set up wonderfully. The hotel worked well with my wedding planner and it looked grea...
t with all the decorations in place. The food was delicious... We chose the buffet which was served outside the ballroom and everything tasted fantastic. The food was hot and the staff kept the trays full. We had an open bar and they even provided bottles of specialty liquors I requested. Doreen with the hospitality group was so helpful and always available when I had questions or comments.
Accommodations... We had such a great stay at the Menger. Everyone came from out of town or state for the wedding. There were over 50 rooms booked under our party and the hotel managed it wonderfully. There were plenty of places for large groups to get together and talk. There were places for people to sit and visit without feeling cramped or crowded. The bar was able to hold a large number of people and the bartenders are always fantastic. We ate at the hotel restaurant everyday. The breakfast buffet was delicious and fresh.
It was a perfect place to have our reception and to stay. It was a great location on the Riverwalk and near the Alamo. Everyone had the best time.
We were excited to visit the Menger Hotel and learn of how reasonably priced they were. Never would have guessed the pricing and what was offered was within our budget. Pros Included: great prices for plated (seated) dinner,fantastic venue for ...
outdoor and amazing indoor photo shots. Able to get very reasonable room rates for such a great location on the riverwalk. Lots of out of town guests didn't need to rent cars with everything right there. Challenges: Sometimes hard to reach the contacts at the hotel. This just required patience and persistence ocassionally. Bottom line if I had to do it again, I would definately go with the same venue. The people who work there love it and are very service oriented. If you have bridezilla tendencies, make sure you have a wedding
Planner. We hired a coordinator for the last 2 weeks before and day of to manage the details which was an excellent investment and made my day worry free and a ton of fun.
We actually used the patio room for our ceremony and the minuet room for the reception, not the ballroom. Also, the hotel was built in the 1800s. The rooms tend to be a little smaller than the ones in modern hotels. Everything was in good working order and well maintained. Being from New England I am accustomed to this and like it. However, this is not something everyone will go for. We had about 60 people show up but planned for 70
We used the 3 areas of the Ballroom. It is just beautiful. The sales staff is very helpful and works with you. It is good to keep calling and making sure about every detail. All our guest loved it! And they gave us special rates for the hotel s...
