Very comfortable!
We were traveling and looked up reviews on the Hotel El Capitan. It had good reviews and looked charming, so we booked. We didn't get much time to stay as we got in at midnight and were on the road again by 8am.

CA Cowgirl
El Capitan is a fun old hotel that is a convenient stop, and they have a good restaurant in house. The hotel rooms are clean, but very small, and while the bathroom is well appointed, it is even smaller! Hotel rooms are in need of some freshening up at this point.

Jana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and charming
The room has an old world charm especially the patio. The room is not large but offers all the modern amenities and the bed is extremely comfortable. Cookies, fruit and coffee are a nice welcome touch in the lobby , there are books to read, a puzzle to complete while waiting for companions. The staff is friendly and efficient.

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.
