My room was supposed to be a suite with a king bed. The bed was a queen size (measured 60 inches wide). The manager on duty insisted it was a king size, but offered to move me to another room if I wanted, then told me that all the beds were the same. She further asked if I wanted to look at the honeymoon suite, so I did. I saw that the honeymoon suite did, in fact have a proper king size bed, so i accepted the room and the manager kept me at the same rate as the king suite. Size and confort-wise, the honeymoon suite was a better room. The only downside was that it didn't have a shower; only a jacuzzi bath. No big deal for me, but my wife preferred a proper shower. Kudos to the staff who bent over backwards to make my stay comfortable and satisfying. My only concern is that the manager firmly believed that all the king rooms actually had king size beds, when in fact they were queens (60 inches wide). I wonder if my original king suite was just a fluke and somehow got a queen without management knowing. But if the manager is correct when she said that all the beds are the same size (believing that they're kings), then the Menger has a big problem and needs to address it.

Such a beautiful hotel at a wonderful price! The food was superb! The location was a ten! The staff was excellent! The pool was so large and clean, and it was never crowded. The king-size bed was so comfortable. We will definitely be back!! Have already recommended this hotel to several people.

I don’t leave reviews that often but it was pretty bad here. I got to the room and it looked okay at first. Took a shower and the water pooled to my shins. Called maintenance and they fixed it but same problem the next day. When I went to lay in bed there was food debris under the bed cover. It looked like someone had cheetos and wiped their hands everywhere. The sheets had not beed changed. This was probably five hours after turning the air conditioning on as low as it could go. The temperature did not get below 76F as the air did not work. I asked for a fan which I was able to get. Did not walk on carpet without my sandals as it was very sticky. When I first arrived after a long travel day I had gone to the bar to grab a drink. I probably waited 25-30 minutes and multiple people had walked up to the bar and gotten drinks and I had not been asked if I wanted anything at the table. Wasn’t sure if I needed to order at the bar. So without being served I left and went to Crockett Tavern with good service. All that to say, I travel a lot. I don’t expect much out of very cheap places. Even cheap places change their sheets. The Menger is very expensive. In spite of the price, it is extremely dirty. Housekeeping and maintenance were very nice and tried to remedy things quickly.
