San Antonio hotels near Mexican Cultural Institute

Cons: A number of cleanliness issues- -Blood on the sheets (not kidding- blood on the sheets) which we had to have changed at 11PM as we were already ready for bed. -previously opened water bottles in the mini fridge...

Cons: The jack hammering and the broken elevator were a pain. The hotel lobby was under construction. Our view was of a boarded up building and a bank parking garage.

Cons: As a downtown hotel, they have parking in a city lot which is certainly going to be very busy and crowded in normal tourist times in downtown San Antonio.

Cons: Seemed to have difficulty getting auto from valet parking. Took 50 minutes one time.

Cons: Convention facility is dated

Cons: Service

Cons: Parking was too expensive.

Cons: No free wifi

Cons: No parking

Cons: I got an upgrade to another room and it was awesome there on out

Cons: Parking is terrible. Traffic does not allow you to easily park and you have to park on the 7th floor or above. That costs $29 a day! If you want Valet, it's $42 a day. Absolute headache.

Cons: The beds are horrible! Shame on you Hilton. I get that running a full service hotel downtown may be expensive but don’t cut on mattress quality.

Cons: This was one of the biggest hotel disappointment I've had in the past. year. I traveled over 200 days in the past year and stayed at quite a few different hotels, so I don't say this lightly. When we first walked into the room (905 handicapped) the bathroom stood out as an eyesore. It was at least 5-10 years past when it should have been renovated. The grout was multiple different colors that made it look like it could be moldy, the wallpaper was peeling from the walls, and there was a general lack of craftmanship in the way it was constructed. The final straw was when I went to take a shower, and the shower head connection was leaking and spraying water in all directions. It wasn't just a loose connection, because I was unable to stop the leak. This is something a guest should never have to deal with at a chain like the Marriott. I asked the front desk to be transferred, but because it was a busy time the only available room was the room below us (805). This bathroom was in slightly better condition, although there were a few cracked and chipped tiles. Although the shower head worked, it was a very low end and cheap looking model. The bigger problem was when my wife tried to take a shower the first night, she was unable to maintain a constant water temperature. It would alternate between cold and very hot. She showed me how red her feet were, and I can only imagine what sort of a problem this could pose to an elderly or handicapped person. The other problem was the terrible tv reception while we were trying to watch the sugar bowl in our room. It would constantly blur or pause, making it nearly impossible to watch the game. Fortunately or unfortunately, the reception on the large tv's at the bar was fine. In summary, this is not the type of property I would expect for a Marriott. For the time around the new year the value wasn't bad (just under 200) however I would have preferred to spend 50% more on a room that looked like it had been renovated in the past 10-20 years. In the past year the only time I have experienced bathrooms in this sort of condition were in $50 rooms in towns with less than 5000 people. Buyer beware.

Cons: Would have liked to have stayed another day to enjoy more of the amenities, such as the Menger Bar and its TR Rough Riders connection. Note: You really need a "none of the above" category for the second question on who was in your party -- none of those definitions fit. This was frustrating and I almost didn't write this review, but decided to submit it by checking "group of friends" even though it's wholly inadequate to describe my party, which was me, my sister, and mother, and my sister's boyfriend.

Cons: The parking is very expensive. Thirty dollars per day - but it is expensive in the entire city and you do have unlimited in and out privileges. The hotel is really old so it has a few rough edges. The pool tiling needs a bit of repair, some of the doors stick a bit, the elevators are small, floors are a little uneven and a bit sloped here and there, etc. It has a lot of "character", but I guess refurbishing an old hotel is like restoring an old car, you never quite manage to get all of the rattles out of it.

Cons: Beds are quite narrow. Air conditioning went out one night. Thankfully, it was repaired the next day.

Cons: Long walk to the elevators. Ice machine was out of order.

Cons: It was the most uncomfortable hotel bed we've ever slept.

Cons: You can see the age of the hotel in the rooms! The bathroom was extremely small but usefull. The valet it's on the expensive side!!

Cons: Ordered breakfast off the restaurant menu. It was high priced and the portion size was small. 1 breakfast taco with sides was $16!

Cons: No ventilation in the room, so bring a small portable fan. Events in the plaza across the street (protesters, musicians) can be quite loud and go on late into the evening. The card/lock system for the room often malfunctioned and wouldn’t let us in.

Cons: The full sized beds. Our cleaning guy did not do a great job at all. There was someone else's hair all over the wall in the bathroom.

Cons: They didn't tell me about 20$ parking day, they didn't tell me 100$ deposit would be needed.

Cons: Room was small, and it's the first time I've seen a full size hotel bed in a long time. Fine for one person, might be challenging for two.

Cons: They could use better vending machines, but then again I have never been to a place that has great vending machines.

Cons: The hotel's rooms were dated. The carpet seemed old or cheap. Twin beds? Really? And we were so far from the elevator. It literally took over a minute just to walk to the elevator from our room. It was hot on the 5th floor. They had to bring us a fan because we couldnt get the room below 78 degrees and the staff didn't really seem to care that much about it.

Cons: The room worked for what I needed, but it could have been better. The bathroom was small and was, for some reason, built 6-8 inches higher than the rest of the room. You could hear everything through the walls.

Cons: We didn't get a room in the old, original, historic section. Our room was outdated and in need of renovation.

Cons: The view from the window? - a wall! Next time we will ask for a courtyard or other external, interesting view. Otherwise, all was well.

Cons: I made my reservation in November. The night before I left for San Antonio in February I got a call that my room was cancelled. I never stayed at the Menger! They offered to put me up in a hotel way out on Loop 410. I'll never attempt stay at the Menger again!!

Cons: Parking was open air and the car had a dirty and the wind screen was water spotted when returned. At the cost per day the least you could have done was clean widows if the only place to park is outside.

Cons: Valet was $35 ...should have been included with hotel

Cons: Outdated hotel facility and Kayak's incorrectly rated hotel stars do not match the overpriced money for my stay.

Cons: The room felt like it needed to be steam cleaned with bleach... The room appeared to be updated sometime in the early 2000. But has not been maintained well. The bed was as hard as the floor. The shower head was loose and the bathroom smelled of old urine. We ordered Breakfast to our room the first morning. The breakfast was good and when we where ready to leave for the day I called to let the staff know so they could come up and clean our room. We where gone the entire day and come back to the same mess we left that morning... At 250 a night plus 30 a night valet parking This should have never happened. That night I went to drink a water bottle the staff provides for you in the room and there was no seal on the lid on either bottle. The cleaning person didn't even bother to change our water bottles. just filled them up with tap water and called it a day. If you are looking for a clean room with basic hotel services I would look past this place!!

Cons: He AC worked but never properly cooled the room. I was uncomfortable my stay.

Cons: parking fee

Cons: Could not think of anything we did not like

Cons: I thought the valet was overpriced and they should at least allow one free parking per reservation

Cons: No microwave in rooms or fridge.

Cons: I think the parking at $30 a night is a little too pricey.

Cons: The building is old and the rooms show it. My first night there was a some fan, or machinery noise that made it impossible to sleep. I was able to switch rooms that night which was nice. One morning I had no hot water. The staff listened, but didn't seem concerned about it. I only had one breakfast at the hotel restaurant, but it was quite underwhelming and definitely not worth paying for.

Cons: Parking was difficult. I wish the stay came with parking instead of having to use valet. I had to pay for valet and to park right outside each day as I have to have quick access to my car. Although it was a nice hotel, I won't be staying here again.
