Nicely restored, interesting old hotel. The room and bed were comfortable, clean and in excellent shape. I would highly recommend if you are stopping in the Van Horn area, although there isn't much else in Van Horn. The restaurant and bar were also nice.

With the Spanish decor and updated rooms this is a Great little hotel. Great restaurant/bar and the Staff is super friendly. The court yard with the fountain and birds chirping is a very soothing atmosphere. It is now our go to halfway stop between Dallas and Phoenix.

The El Capitan is now one of my favorite hotels! It has the coolest early/ mid century vibe. It is one of many of the Trost architectural builds in west Texas. The property is well maintained and staff are great! Get the patio room for some extra space. The room got super cool in the hot desert heat. Eat at the restaurant. The food and service are great. There is a full breakfast buffet included in the room price. There’s not a ton to do in Van Horn but if you are passing through the West this is the place to stay!

Hotel El Capitan is a historic hotel about a half of a mile off Interstate 10 in Van Horn. There is a lovely courtyard with tables and chairs, and a water fountain at the entrance. There are also sitting areas in the lobby. The rooms are nice and the air conditioner works great. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again!

It was the perfect stop between Tucson and Houston. Priced right. Rooms are old but very clean. We enjoyed a nice dinner and drinks on the patio. I was worried about the train being so close but we never heard it during the night. The staff was very friendly and told us about the history of the hotel. Will stay here again when we make the drive back!
