Hotel El Capitan

This is a nice, historic hotel in a very small town. The rooms were nice and quiet. On-site restaurant had outstanding food at a reasonable price. The included breakfast was good, not great. We would stay here again.

I absolutely loved my stay at the Hotel El Capitan. Parking was a breeze, plenty of space and just steps from the entrance. Inside, the place is full of history and charm, from the architecture to the decor. It’s one of those hotels where you can feel the past still alive in the walls, but everything is comfortable and welcoming. The bar and restaurant were excellent. I ordered the pistachio chicken fried steak, which was as unique as it was delicious, and the limoncello margarita was one of the best cocktails I’ve had anywhere in West Texas. Both were reasons alone to come back. My room overlooked the front of the hotel with a beautiful view of the mountains. It was peaceful, and at night, I opened the balcony doors to the courtyard, cool air drifting in while the sound of the fountain made it easy to relax and fall asleep. It was a memorable stay from start to finish. The Hotel El Capitan is a real gem, and I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m heading out to my property.

Simply driving through and chose to stay here.

Van Horn is a halfway stop between Ft Worth and Phoenix. We always stay at the El Capitan. Wonderful small hotel with Spanish decor. Rooms and the hotel are very clean. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Love the restaurant. Great food.

The beds were extremely comfortable, and the included breakfast had many options to pick from. Overall great stay.

We were only there for the night but it was even prettier than the photos. The rooms were very nice and very clean. I will be going back.

We were very impressed with the quality of the renovation work. The hotel is truly beautiful. No cheap furnishings here, lovely furniture and linens. The courtyard is gorgeous ~ lush and tropical feeling. I did love it. The one place we were disappointed in was the dining room. We expected a more elegant ambiance befitting the rest of the hotel. The food was average good, not great. Breakfast offerings were plenty but not impressive. I’d rather have fewer offerings and more natural foods. Powdered scrambled eggs, really?? Nevertheless less we would love to stay there again.

Wonderful stay - our second stay at Hotel El Capitan. Each room is slightly different and all are very comfortable. Staff was very helpful and onsite restaurant/ bar provided delicious dinner and breakfast.

This was our second stay here and it was even better than the last time. Lovely ambiance. Really enjoyed the live music at dinner as well.

Parking not very secure
