Perfect location for two very popular National Parks....Big Bend and Guadeloupe National Park. Also very convenient to the Davis Mountains State Park. Scenery surrounding the area is stunning and the Hotels food is delicious and prices are reasonable. The free continential breakfast is excellent. We will go back and also recommend to friends and family.

The El Capitan is a gorgeous historical hotel. Beautiful rooms, gorgeous original tiles, cozy sitting room and the most fabulous courtyard. So romantic, a wonderful place to have dinner or a drink. The front desk attendants were pleasant and knowledgeable about the hotel. And the best cookies in the evening at the front desk. I call them evil good. It is hard to have one. The only disappointment was the dining expedience. And I was kind giving 4 stars because the hotel is so amazing I felt bad. In short, food came out cold, when asked to reheat the $45 steak came back well done. The waitress was talking with people in courtyard. We asked for steak sauce. Nothing! We asked twice and we still waited. My husband asked for ranch, but got blue cheese. When I asked for ranch explaining this is blue cheese, which I tasted, she snapped back no it is not! She should be glad I didn’t pay the bill. The tip would have been very different. Try the other steakhouse in town.

While sleeping I was woken by water dripping on my bed from a roof leak. I had to switch rooms in the middle of the night. I spoke with the front desk in the morning as was told the manager would reach out to me about compensation for the trouble but nobody ever called!!!!

The property is well staffed and clean and well maintained. Modern plumbing features are present. But I think a good portion of the high rating this place has is due to patrons valuing (historical) ambiance over comfort. The standard room was not spacious, very little closet space and a small TV. HVAC blower was typically noisy and never shut off with it being set to "auto". But the courtyard and lobby areas are quite nice. The staff was nice. It's a pleasant change from chain motels, but, sorry, I don't see it as 9 out of 10.

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
