Last time I was here, I was just visiting, so everything was a blank slate. Today, they were set up as a garage sale type venue. Their staff (invisible yet present) had set up a large tent outside with heaters to keep us shoppers warm in the 35 degree and drizzly morning.

Now if you don't want to walk the hotel has the best restaurants: Dorregos and Acenar. You can not go wrong with the restaurants. The breakfast plates were amazing and the Mexican food was delicious.

We were very happy and pleased with everything here.

We loved our stay at Menger Hotel! The history, the nicely-maintained building and rooms, the…read morebeautiful bar, the lovely balcony and view, it was lovely. The front desk staff was fine, but I saw an area of opportunity to get to know why the guest had come to this historic hotel and give us a quick FYI about certain areas, relics, and fun facts as there is so much to read and learn. Checkout was also fine, but the person didn't ask about our stay, welcome us back in the future, or anything that suggests above and beyond. Our room was nice and well-maintained. The balcony view was worth the extra couple dollars, but the furniture out there was not super comfortable. The beds were comfy, and the room was in good condition given the age. The pool was nice, huge chess board and outdoor games for fun too. The older part of the hotel had a smell that only very old buildings have; it doesn't smell musky or moldy at all, but it has that comforting old building smell. The stained glass, chandeliers, windows, elevators, all were in very good condition. I loved all the relics and getting the chance to look at the wood carving details all throughout the buildings. The older part of this hotel is wonderfully maintained - preservation is obviously very important. I loved the bar. I loved the smell. I loved the dark wood, the history, the entire feeling of the bar. Beautifully maintained and while it was a small space, it didn't seem crowded. We would definitely come back again. While we had read plenty about the hauntings in the hotel, never once did we feel that vibe, but it was a very busy Saturday night with lots of people.

Two stars because most of the staff is friendly, but that's about where the compliments end…read more If you're someone who likes sleeping in a room cooler than a baked potato, prepare for disappointment. The thermostat is apparently just decorative because the room goes no lower than 75 degrees. I spent three nights trying to convince myself that "warm and cozy" was a luxury feature. It wasn't. The room itself feels like it missed its renovation by about 20 years. The shower looked like it had seen multiple presidential administrations who, just like this shower and let's be honest, nobody really really liked. Continuing on, the ceiling, in the shower/tub mind you, featured a random exposed pipe with grease stains around it that looked less like an industrial design choice and more like a maintenance project someone abandoned halfway through. Nothing says "premium hotel" quite like wondering what happened up there. The paint job deserves its own review. I don't know who painted the trim, but I'm convinced they either skipped the painter's tape entirely or were competing in an abstract art contest. There are sloppy brush marks and globs of paint everywhere. It's one of those things you can't stop noticing once you see it. Housekeeping also seemed to operate under the philosophy that coffee in your room is a one-time welcome gift. After three nights, not once was the in-room coffee restocked. It's a small thing, but it's also one of the easiest details for a hotel to get right. And then there's the parking, oh boy, then there is the parking. Nearly $70 a night to park a vehicle is outrageous, and at that price, I expected my car to be washed, waxed, and tucked in with a bedtime story. Instead, it was just... parked. The hotel isn't a complete disaster, but for the room quality and the prices they charge, the experience just doesn't add up. There are too many better options in San Antonio to justify paying any rate greater than a hostile for this hotel that boasts dated rooms, a tropical indoor climate, and parking fees that feel like a second hotel bill.

Stayed here for 5 nights for a conference in August 2026. It was a short walk (less than half a…read moremile by riverwalk or surface streets) to the convention center, which makes it a great place to stay. I like that it's right on the riverwalk and very close to a bunch of different resultants. There is a riverwalk boat tour loading right outside the hotel, and a CVS 2 doors down. The staff is very friendly - I only spoke with the front desk, both upon check in and out. They are quick and very helpful. I stayed in room 967, which is an interior room. The interior rooms look out into the atrium/lobby area inside the hotel. Didn't have any real natural light and if your curtains were open and light on, it felt like other rooms could look in. So I left the curtains closed the whole time. It was very dark as the lights inside the room did not put off too much light. There is no dresser, but rather a place just in the door to hang clothes and 1 drawer. The room had a mini fridge and a kreurig, but only with decaf and dark roast (neither of what I drink). There is no microwave in the room. The room is small, but perfect for 1 person. I don't know how 2 people would fit in here unless 1 kept all their clothes in their suitcase. There is not much room to walk around, pull the ironing board out for use, and the bathroom was very small too. Overall, I would stay here again, but would hope for an exterior room for a bit more light so I wouldn't feel like a blood sucking vampire ‍

We had sooo much fun at our wedding! The DJ played great music that kept everyone on the floor. As guests were leaving most of them told us how beautiful everything came out and that this was the most fun wedding they've ever attended! My only little complaint would be only having one bartender because the bar line was long most of the night but our guests still had a great time. Our day was still perfect! Amit was so easy to contact and plan with and our day of coordinator ran everything smoothly. We definitely recommend La Fontana Springs for any of your events!

We arrived after July 4th so avoided all the chaos. The timing of a post holiday visit allowed us to enjoy a quiet and peacefully slow paced stay. We enjoyed the lazy river, animal farm, fishing, bike riding, and nightly s'mores. The only down side was on our final night, the main restaurant had over an hour wait (on a week day) so I can't imagine what a typical packed weekend would look like.

The entrance is a very long road that introduces you to the nature as you drive in to the property. Due to the long entrance (and subsequent exit), you should plan on staying on the property for the entire stay. They have a little gift shop with cafe serving cookies, pizza, fresh salads, fresh fruit, bowls, wine, beer, and more.
