Perfect location for two very popular National Parks....Big Bend and Guadeloupe National Park. Also very convenient to the Davis Mountains State Park. Scenery surrounding the area is stunning and the Hotels food is delicious and prices are reasonable. The free continential breakfast is excellent. We will go back and also recommend to friends and family.

The El Capitan is a gorgeous historical hotel. Beautiful rooms, gorgeous original tiles, cozy sitting room and the most fabulous courtyard. So romantic, a wonderful place to have dinner or a drink. The front desk attendants were pleasant and knowledgeable about the hotel. And the best cookies in the evening at the front desk. I call them evil good. It is hard to have one. The only disappointment was the dining expedience. And I was kind giving 4 stars because the hotel is so amazing I felt bad. In short, food came out cold, when asked to reheat the $45 steak came back well done. The waitress was talking with people in courtyard. We asked for steak sauce. Nothing! We asked twice and we still waited. My husband asked for ranch, but got blue cheese. When I asked for ranch explaining this is blue cheese, which I tasted, she snapped back no it is not! She should be glad I didn’t pay the bill. The tip would have been very different. Try the other steakhouse in town.

The grounds were excellent with a beautiful patio entry to the lobby. The menu and wine list was very good and the grilled jalapeño, not for the faint of palette. Staffing was great and friendly.

While sleeping I was woken by water dripping on my bed from a roof leak. I had to switch rooms in the middle of the night. I spoke with the front desk in the morning as was told the manager would reach out to me about compensation for the trouble but nobody ever called!!!!
