The most comfortable beds I have ever slept on anywhere in the world.
I highly recommend the hotel. The front desk staff were exceptional. Very accommodating and friendly. The room was fabulous but the restaurant service was probably the worse we have ever had. It was downhill from the minute we were seated. I have been putting off posting a bad review thinking that I might change my mind, but as we continued our vacation I was reminded at each restaurant how good customer service should be and it only reaffirmed how bad we were treated here....read full review
I cannot say enough about the Hotel El Capitan & its staff! The hotel is quaint and clean with beautiful and thoughtful accommodations throughout. The courtyard is peaceful.

El Capitan Restaurant & Lounge is a great find in Van Horn. The food is absolutely amazing, with meals like the Mexican Shrimp appetizer, braised beef, steak cooked to perfection, and asparagus dip. The El Capitan salad and roasted Brussel Sprouts are delicious, and the chocolate brownie and carrot cake are very good. The service is great, with exceptionally friendly and attentive staff. The atmosphere stands out, and the preservation of this beautiful spot is loved. It is a great friendly oasis in West Texas with excellent food, a great bar, and outdoor seating with music. Rooms are clean with soft beds, and it is pet friendly. It is much better than roadside chain restaurants and fast food.
