El Trovatore Motel

I chose this particular motel because my husband is a bit of a Route 66 buff, and it reminded me of some of the motels my family stayed in as we traveled. But we will refer El Travatore Motel for the following reasons: Sam, the owner, greeted us with a smile and shared the history of Kingman. You're going to want to hear it! The property brought back memories from my childhood and family trips. The motel may be "old," but it's well maintained and clean. The bed was comfortable. The ac kept the room cool. There is a TV that plays black and white movies and shows when you turn it on. And yes, there is a small fridge and microwave The decor fixtures throughout the room, a small porcelain corner sink, a shower with the 2 handle controls on one end of the shower, and the shower head on the other. The bathtub wasn't usable and covered up, but it was nice to see. Each room has its own theme. Our room was the James Dean room. The building has a mural (the worlds longest map) of Route 66. Location was just out of "Old Town" Kingman. Absolutely loved staying here. We were on our way to an event, and my husband told everyone about this gem of a motel.

I loved this retro quirky motel! There’s loads of cool murals painted all around including the worlds longest route 66 map & I took loads of photos The room looked recently refurbished with new furniture, the bed was really comfortable & there was a very large flat screen tv

Sam and his wife are the nicest persons. They were very kind to make me feel at home not only in the motel, but also around town. Room was cozy and clean. The bed was comfortable and warm, and the shower was great for a very cold November night. The location is perfect within a couple minutes drive to groceries, gas stations, and walk-in distance to restaurants.

Historic motel in Kingman on route 66 with parking in front of the room, nice and very kind owner who at the time of check in explains the whole history of the motel and the characters who stayed in it and then gives some suggestions where to have breakfast and dinner and what to see in the city, very cozy room with furnishings themed by Hollywood characters, we had the Marilyn Monroe room.

I was greeted and felt very welcome! The owner shared a wealth of information as well as some of the rich history of the area! The room was pretty clean, the owner shared that they are trying to keep as much original as possible. The grounds were clean and the murals were fantastic.! Clean towels, sheets and a nice area to sit out in front of my room.
