The El Capitan was a vision of what sophisticated Van Horn used to be like. One patron at the bar told us the the cast of the movie Giant stayed there during filming. James Dean and Liz Taylor were in the atmosphere.

Don't plan on sleeping

If you plan on sleeping , do not stay at this place. There are trains that run consistently right in front of the hotel and then they are so loud I could not even sleep. The hotel is pretty and Everyone is friendly but it is Impossible to get a good night's sleep because of the trains
