Menger Hotel

Exceptional

Overall my wife and I...

Liked: The history and architecture was very impressive. The location around the hotel was convenient and at walking distance to other places we wanted to see.
Disliked: The AC would not get as cold as I would have thought. I wish a microwave in the room would be good to add and also a continental breakfast inclusion or at least a more affordable breakfast menu.

Menger not such a great...

Liked: The location is the best! It's in the heart of everything. You just walk everywhere. That is the best part of this place.
Disliked: The beds are horrible. So uncomfortable. We actually left a night early because we couldn't sleep in those beds another night. We did get a great value on the hotel but our room was like in the older part of the hotel which really needs some work. They need some updated amenities for what everyone is used to like USB charging ports etc. Rooms do not have a microwave but there is one in the hallway that everyone shares...Really? Ceiling in bathroom was bubbling.It looked very worn. The shades on the lamps looked like they had been rather brushed someone was really rough on them. They had a lot of dents. The mirror in the bathroom really could use a frame. It's very old. The beds are all full size instead of queen like most hotels. We have stayed here before but we were in the newer remodeled side last time. That side is very nice. So a great value on your room might not be that good of a deal at this hotel.

Superb

Disliked: The only downside was the sketchy Wifi signal.

It was a magical time...

Liked: This hotel has always been on my dream list of places to stay. So when the price was right, I booked a room and was so glad I did. I loved that I could feel like I was walking back in time when staying at the hotel. My favorite places were the original entry, where you can see the 3 indoor balconies of the rooms upstairs. The wallpaper is gorgeous. The room we stayed in was exceptional as well. My goal for this trip was to experience everything the hotel had to offer and to feel like I was back in time for my trip, and I did exactly that. We ate a great hamburger and fries at the Bar, and we dined for Breakfast the next morning.
Disliked: I had nothing negative to say about the hotel. It was fabulous. I only wish they had more of a write-up somewhere in the hotel, a pamphlet of sorts that told more of the history of the hotel. I googled to find the history. As I love old buildings, I enjoyed learning when the additions took place, and that it was owned by several owners. I know most people don't think of these things like me, but with the ever-evolving new buildings with no personality or history, I truly enjoy that we get to go to places like this to discover the past that was before us. There was a pamphlet, but I thought it could have used more information.

Great!

Liked: It was an old hotel!
Disliked: Breakfast buffet was decent.

Superb
