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.

Tiny rooms with a big heart
The perfect stop as you cross Texas. While the rooms are small, the hotel more than makes up for it with exceptional attention to detail.
