A riverside entrance
Well, this is pretty classy. This hotel has its own entrance to the Riverwalk (not the crowded regular part, but the quieter part known as the Museum Reach) and its own water taxi stop!
(I didn’t stay here. I stayed beside the Alamo, in a place that’s widely thought to be haunted. My room was so small that there would not have been room for a ghost. And the leaf-blower guy comes out at 6:00 every morning to leaf blow the walk around the Alamo. And tour buses just outside my window break the 20-minute parking sign with regularility. There may be better hotel options in town.)

What’s the name of the hotel – I’ll make sure I don’t haunt it if I make down to San Antonio.

The one I didn’t like is the Menger. I think there are probably better rooms that the one I had; I was there for a conference and I think they stuck people who were paying conference rates in the worst rooms…

Lousy hotel, but great image.

Thanks, Robert. I think the hotel in the photo actually is pretty nice. The place I stayed? Not so much.

We stayed in a hotel near (not on) a freight line – all night the train horns sounded as they approached the crossing – so I understand how you feel.

My friend Carlos used to live about 6″ from a train track – or at least that’s what it sounded like. Every time I was at his house I hoped the trains understood they were supposed to stay on the track….

Makes you want to go up those stairs and get a good nap?
Works great in B&W!

Those stairs are particularly inviting! Maybe on my next trip to San Antonio I can stay there!

Ghosts can hover above your bed just as much as the leaf-blower can hover in the street forever.

My boss was staying in the haunted hotel at the same time I was there – it was the headquarters for our conference. He overheard a ghost tour in the hallway outside his room one night; the guide was telling everyone how the room he was staying in was the “most haunted” one in the hotel. He was watching through the peephole, and saw a woman lag behind the group to take some photos of the door. He rattled the doorknob and she screamed. I guess she believes in ghosts now, if she didn’t already!

There are a lot of funny stories that come from my workplace, but this one is the best.
I hope that my boss’s eyeball shows up in the peephole in that woman’s photos!
