Star Service "Urban and sophisticated, contemporary and comfortable, the decor throughout is largely tone-on-tone without being monotonous, showing dozens of cream and brown shades." Full review
Frommer's "This hotel is located next to the Alamo and is housed in a Gothic skyscraper from the 1920s. ... The location is ideal for visitors. ... The combination of style, comfort, and history is hard to beat." Full review
Fodor's "Built in the 1920s and named for the woman who inspired the song "The Yellow Rose of Texas," this boutique hotel sits across from the Alamo on a triangular piece of land." Full review
Gayot "This property draws attention to the local legend with its name and is one of the most popular hotels in the downtown area." Full review

"Located across from the famous Alamo and boasting a rich history (as well as, potentially, a few ghosts), the Emily Morgan Hotel is an excellent upscale property in downtown San Antonio." Full review
Frommer's "Rooms are colorful and stylish, with salmon walls and leather accents. This historic—and reputedly haunted—hotel is a fun place to stay, and the lobby bar during happy hour is a lively local scene." Full review

Lonely Planet "The name sounds as though it should be awash in floral prints and lace runners, but this historic hotel right behind the Alamo is actually pretty stylish, and is now a Hilton property." Full review

Insight Guides "Built in 1859, The Menger retains its Victorian-era lobby and the period features. Some rooms are filled with antiques while others are modern additions."
Fodor's "You'll be the envy of many an overheated tourist strolling immediately across the street from the entrance to the Alamo into the cool lobby and up to your room." Full review
Michelin Guide "A glazed iron canopy and intricate railings form the facade of the elegant Menger, built in 1859, barely a generation after the fall of The Alamo."
Gayot "Standing right beside The Alamo, this 1859 hotel has welcomed countless notables."
DK Eyewitness "The lovely three-story Victorian lobby is decorated with antiques, the Menger Bar is a legendary San Antonio tavern, and the hotel is reputedly home to numerous ghosts."
Frommer's "In the late 19th century, no one who was anyone would consider staying anywhere but the Menger, which opened its doors in 1859 and has never closed them." Full review
Frommer's "The hotel’s location is terrific...rooms in the modern sections tend to be a bit plain. Those in the original Victorian section, furnished with period pieces, are much more entertaining" Full review
Lonely Planet "Historic? Definitely. This place was built in the shadow of the Alamo a scant 23 years after the famous battle." Full review
