Hotel El Capitan

When we pass through Van Horn,Texas we stay at the El Capitan if possible. The hotel is architecturally significant, and exudes a charming and hospitable atmosphere. We partucularly enjoy the attached restaurant and bar.

We were unable to get much sleep as the hotel was very noisy, especially the opening and closing of doors well after midnight. You could easily hear conversations from the hall and rooms on either side of us. Plus the couple nest door to us was having a very loud and nasty fight at 6;00 in the morning.

My only disappointment is we couldn’t stay longer. This was better than any fancy 5 star resort. Wine by the fireplace was so welcoming and then to wake to a beautiful breakfast buffet with good coffee.

The Bachelder tile in the lobby, the warm chocolate chip cookies as we checked in, and the available oranges and apples all made us smile!

This is a charming hotel. The restaurant has pretty good food and refreshing margaritas for end of the day relaxation. My room was neat as a pin and very clean with nice amenities. However, it was noisy. My room adjoined another room so I don't know if that's why it was so noisy. The person in the room next to me snored so loudly that it was like he/she was sleeping in the same room with me! There was really nothing I could do about it but I can tell you that it did not make for good sleeping!

This is a very unique property and the staff are more than kind. I’ve never stayed in a place quite like this. The bed is VERY comfortable!

This hotel is charming, unique, clean, quiet. It has nooks for reading a puzzle laid out if you want, sitting areas for visiting, a fireplace, restaurant and bar were very good. I will go out of my way to come this direction every time I come to Texas just to stay here. Wonderful.

The bed/mattress was in need of replacement. Terrible night's sleep after driving 500 miles you expect a comfortable bed and good nights sleep. Will never return. Mentioned bed situation at checkout but no follow up response from management. Slept or attempted to do so in room 227.

everything was excellent the only draw back was the proximity of the hotel to the train tracks a bit noisy at night but that was overlooked by me
