Oasis in the West Texas Desert. Do yourself a favor and stop into this affordable luxurious 5 Star historic hotel of Van Horn, TX next time you’re driving through. The complimentary breakfast with homemade tortillas and salsa alone makes it well worth the visit!
We were excited to find this place after a 5 week roadtrip and chain hotels. This was a special place to stay on our last night before heading home. Beautiful and comfortable king size patio room was perfect for our dog. Drinks and dinner on the patio and a restful evening. We will be back!
This historic hotel is the perfect place to stay at. A hidden gem in small deserty Van Horn. It's an upgraded facility with a historic feel that provides upscale accommodations. If we had time, we would've stayed at least another night. The small court yard is very inviting, quite and relaxing. The room has snall refrig & micro. Free good continental breakfast. We Highly recommend it when passing through.
We have stayed at El Capitan before and loved it so much. We actually wanted to come back. This hotel has a really unique history and an old world charm the dining room cooks up gourmet meals with a continental breakfast on Sundays. We will definitely return.
Bathroom was REALLY Small. Reminded me of a cruise ship bathroom. Food was good but a bit on the pricey side. Breakfast wasn’t much. Property was truly unique and interesting but there was some traffic noise in the evening and also a Train Nearby that came through fairly often. The bed was super comfortable and the staff was lovely.
