Lovely surprise in Van Horn
A little gem. Very comfortable, clean, cosy. Very friendly staff and a great building. So much nicer than all the cookie-cutter chains. Ideally located when traveling from Big Bend NP to Guadalupe and Carlsbad NO’s

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.
Hotel Lobby
Beautiful courtyard where you can enjoy dinner and drinks.
