8/10 Very good

This property was nice and clean and quiet. Our only complaint was the small amount of tv channels. The WiFi worked great though. We had a nice quiet time.

Stay was quiet and safe. In the morning, walked across the parking lot for breakfast. Snacks in the room were a nice, welcoming touch. Easy check in and out. Wish we could have stayed longer.

It was a cute little place to stay for the night after watching a high-school football game. They communicated well with us and we didn't have any issue. Rooms were clean.

Super nice staff, excellent housekeeping. This historical hotel is old but so comfortable with great tv, coffee, fridge , micro, toiletries etc. This should be your definite “stay” place when in Capitan.

2/10 Poor

We arrived a bit late so we both immediately took a shower. I was the first to shower and noticed hair shavings scattered all over the tile inside the shower. It was quite disgusting. To top it all off, the water pressure was terrible. Another disappointment was the television. I love to unwind with a little bit of TV but there was literally 5 available television stations to choose from. The only thing that made the stay worth anything was the restaurant. The food was great and the service was on point. I honestly think we would have been better off camping out or sleeping in the car. Seriously one of the worst experiences and we are frequent travelers so we have definitely had our share of Hotel/Motel stays.
