We always stay at the Menger when we are in Galveston. I think the rooms are nice and very affordable. The pool is always clean and inviting. When we checked in the front desk was not very friendly or accommodative

The Menger is a beautiful historic hotel. The room was small but lovely except for the leaking water in the shower/tub and the toilet that flushed like a loud tornado. Very noisy! The area around the hotel is under construction in all areas. Very difficult to navigate to the hotel and valet parking area.

No help when needed!

The hotel is beautiful, I love history and that drew me to this place. However, just outside it window was a construction site (uncontrollable by the hotel I know) but I checked in on a Friday with my side, first night away from the kids in a long time, we were woke up on Saturday morning at 7 a.m. to ALOT of loud noise from the construction…on a Saturday…the hotel would not issue a refund without charging me 75 dollars a night for early check out. They offered me free breakfast and found a room to move us to. I was told the room was the same rate and there would be no difference in the final price of my stay but of course when I check out the second room was 50 dollars more a night. The construction is not their fault but we should be warned or considerably compensated for the major disappointment. But the hotel is perfect for history buffs like myself! Just bad timing I guess.

While the Menger Hotel exudes historic charm and old-world glamour, we couldn’t help but wonder why such a treasured landmark has been allowed to fall into disrepair. We expected quirks due to its age, like smaller rooms and tight bathrooms, which are understandable given heritage preservation requirements. However, what was less forgivable was the lack of cleanliness. Our bathroom still bore traces of previous guests, the historical displays were dusty and neglected, and the hotel bar had a layer of dust that may have been as old as the bullet holes in the wall left by Teddy Roosevelt. Additionally, housekeeping is not a daily service—there was a sign in our bathroom stating that a complimentary cleaning would only be available after the third night. For a hotel steeped in such rich history, we expected better upkeep and attention to detail.

Nice enough for the price.

Though the hotel was nice enough it was quit dated in the room. Dirty floors in the bathroom, no hooks for towels and such, odd smells and huge dust bunnies hanging from the ceiling. The lobby had an extremely potent smell of some scent they were marketing. t was so intense that it actually triggered my allergies.
