Great period experience
I had made an error in booking and the desk clerk was very understanding and helpful in resolving it, even though we were a late arrival. Room was a bit cramped but that was typical of room for period hotels of the era Rl Capitan was built. Lobby and dining areas were very nice. Breakfast was excellent.

It is a historic property. Enjoy its quaintness. Having stayed here numerous times, I/we do find an inordinate number of dogs in nearby guest rooms. The barking is a distraction and forces us to use a "sleep sound machine" to drown out the noise.

Nice but not all that. Details falling short. Chicken fried steak had a nice crust but was too tough.

Best hotel in the area. Nothing to do around the property. There was a stain in the sheet and when I reported they change the sheets immediately. Very good staff members.

Wonderful, historic hotel in downtown Van Horn, TX. Restful central courtyard with fountain. Original tile and woodwork in public spaces. Lively dining room and bar. Very comfortable room with period, yet updated, bathroom. Memorable stay at El Capitan.
