A beautiful hotel. The room a king with patio was small but adorable. Had small fridge and microwave which is a plus. The place is lovely. The restaurant very nice, have a cocktail and sit in the atrium. Was decorated for fall. Great breakfast. They even have a community puzzle if you want to work on, set out

Soft Bed / Great Breakfast
Loved this hotel. Rooms were comfortable and clean. We had a balcony to the courtyard - people were in the courtyard talking until about 11:00 so not too bad. Best hotel continental breakfast I have had and we always book where there are free breakfast. If you like history - book at Holtel El Capitan.

Exceptional!
This beautiful, historic hotel is immaculate. It's well worth the extra few dollars to stay here. We've stayed here twice, and both times it's been excellent. The dinners in the restaurant are exceptional. Last night we were entertained with live music in the gorgeous courtyard. We highly recommend staying here over the nearby chain hotels.

Very quintessential old west Texas hotel.
I’ve stayed here overnight while passing through west Texas. There is not much in the town, but everything you need is in the hotel. They have a surprisingly really good restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating, free breakfast buffet & the rooms are cozy. Beds are comfy!

Nice Hotel, not so nice dining
We’ve stayed here many times. The rooms are small but very clean, nice bedding and towels. We had a very poor meal, waited 30 minutes and a portion of the meal was obviously older food mixed in with fresher ingredients. I sent my meal back, my wife did not, they took 20% off our check but really, they knew what they were serving. Our wait staff seemed scattered, we ordered a glass of wine and that took twenty minutes. Will stay here again this year but look elsewhere for dining.

The courtyard entrance to the property is magical and inviting. Plenty of cozy places to sit and enjoy the evening. Our balcony door opened to the courtyard. The sound of the running water from the grand fountain was relaxing. The continental breakfast was lovely. Train tracks are very close, so we did hear a couple of trains go through in the night. Wouldn’t keep us from staying again and again.

This is a besutiful old hotel whuch is beautifully decorated. The room is small but has everything needed,and its so cosy, unlike chain hotels. The bed was comfy with clean bedding, AC functions well, the bathroom is so cute, classic character and the common areas are cosy and inviting. A great find for me on short notice while being on the road all day.

Classy West Texas Comfort
This is definitely a 5-star stay. Cleanliness was exceptional and the staff was helpful and friendly. We loved how it was decorated in fall and pumpkin decor. I felt like we had stepped back in time during its glory days. We are definitely coming back to this classy hotel and make it a point to include it in our West Texas travels.
