Great period experience
I had made an error in booking and the desk clerk was very understanding and helpful in resolving it, even though we were a late arrival. Room was a bit cramped but that was typical of room for period hotels of the era Rl Capitan was built. Lobby and dining areas were very nice. Breakfast was excellent.

Vintage charm and modern comfort
Beautiful, charming vintage property with very comfy beds and dog-friendly amenities. Great little restaurant and bar attached. Our second stay. Recently renovated so rooms are very clean and convenient on top of the cute looks.

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.
