Really enjoyed our stay at El Capitan. Loved dining in the open courtyard. Room was lovely… though a bit small. Beautiful old hotel.

The building is very old, which leads to the rooms being small. Especially the bathroom… you only have one place to stand, to the right is the toilet, the left is the sink, and straight ahead is the tub/shower. The restaurant has good food, but is overpriced as unless you are in a group, you get ignored by the wait staff. Getting to the hotel from the parking lot it is filled with gravel and pavement which hasn’t been repaired in several years. Very rough for dragging a bag to the hard to find lobby to check in

Oasis in the West Texas Desert. Do yourself a favor and stop into this affordable luxurious 5 Star historic hotel of Van Horn, TX next time you’re driving through. The complimentary breakfast with homemade tortillas and salsa alone makes it well worth the visit!

We were excited to find this place after a 5 week roadtrip and chain hotels. This was a special place to stay on our last night before heading home. Beautiful and comfortable king size patio room was perfect for our dog. Drinks and dinner on the patio and a restful evening. We will be back!

This historic hotel is the perfect place to stay at. A hidden gem in small deserty Van Horn. It's an upgraded facility with a historic feel that provides upscale accommodations. If we had time, we would've stayed at least another night. The small court yard is very inviting, quite and relaxing. The room has snall refrig & micro. Free good continental breakfast. We Highly recommend it when passing through.
