Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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

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.

Very quintessential old west Texas hotel.
I’ve stayed here overnight while passing through west Texas. There is not much in the town, but everything you need is in the hotel. They have a surprisingly really good restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating, free breakfast buffet & the rooms are cozy. Beds are comfy!

Nice Hotel, not so nice dining
We’ve stayed here many times. The rooms are small but very clean, nice bedding and towels. We had a very poor meal, waited 30 minutes and a portion of the meal was obviously older food mixed in with fresher ingredients. I sent my meal back, my wife did not, they took 20% off our check but really, they knew what they were serving. Our wait staff seemed scattered, we ordered a glass of wine and that took twenty minutes. Will stay here again this year but look elsewhere for dining.
