I wanted something charming & accidentally picked something old and tired and campy, with no amenities. Owners sat in a cramped, crowded, & unkempt office & had no personality or concern for our comfort. The room was clean but the bathtub was scary old.

The office has a terrible smell and is piled with junk. The owners’ dog barked and lunged at us incessantly. The owner spoke with us for 20 minutes while his wife “freshened ” our room. When we arrived at our room, she was leaving the room with her dog and a lint roller. We took one look at the mold around the shower and left the premises to stay at another hotel.

It was a fun flashback to an era almost forgotten. The owners were wonderful and a bundle of history about the motel and Kingman in general. They were the sweetest. The murals were fun to see all around the motel. Just remember you are going back in time...small bathroom...but it was almost unheard of back in the day to even have a private bathroom. Just imagine John Wayne, Elvis Presley, etc., staying at the motel. I truly enjoyed the adventure!

As stated before in another review, the property needs a lot of work! I guess they have trouble getting help…very cool property and the rooms could be very very cool but it would take a ton of money!

This is an iconic Route 66 so is a very old building, and as such it has its charm, but some items look like they are old and in disrepair. However the hotel is clean and the staff super helpful and informative about the area and its history. Property management is trying to keep the hotel in good repair. The room was extra large and the location was quiet. The property is well lit and the murals on all exterior walls are excellent!

We received a very warm welcome upon arrival, and were provided with lots of information about the motel and Kingman. We chose the 'Marilyn Monroe' room. The room was quaint, and gave an historic feel. We appreciate it is an old motel from the 1930's, however, the room and decor were tired, and in need of some TLC. Compared to other classic Route 66 motels we've stayed at, this didn't live up to our expectations. Too much Route 66 kitsch on the outside. Less is more.

The Route 66 themed El Trovatore is a bit dated but everything is clean and it is a lot of fun. Sam, the owner is very knowledgeable about the history of Kingman and Route 66 and loves to share what he knows. There is a lot of memorabilia and original outdoor artwork including the World's Longest Map of Route 66 and a new \"don't miss\" mural of Marilyn Monroe.

What a beautiful couple who are actually owner of this motel. Sam and Monica. They described me the history of route 66 that I never knew. My son was too excited after knowing the history of Kingman. Hotel rooms are little bit outdated but we were there for overnight stay. 🏨🛌

Check-in was welcoming and informative. We stayed in a super deluxe room (106) and it tastefully decorated. The bed was comfortable and we slept well with a lite white noise (hum) coming from the heater and the refrigerator.
The room heater if effective in warming the bedroom space but it does not reach the bathroom or the small sitting area that is directly under a window. The window is very drafty.
The bathroom is very tiny, especially for a tall person, and there is no outlet for a hair dryer nor room to lay out any toiletries. The shower is really dark but is adequately warm; there is one little cubby for your soap.
We stayed here for the nostalgia of the historic property as we wanted the vibe of our route 66 trip. I would recommend it for that reason but only if you are ok with the bathroom situation.

This place had so much promise and I hoped it would be a memorable route 66 stay for us. Unfortunately the place is very run down. The final straw for us was a gigantic cockroach (and I mean gigantic) jumping out of our curtains and sprinted across the floor. We had been in the room for less than an hour and grabbed our suitcases and left. We didn’t try to get a refund nor speak to the reception about the issues. We knew that the response we would get wouldn’t be in the realms of professional customer service so we decided to save ourselves the negativity on our trip. We returned the next morning and put the keys into the drop box outside. Listen to the other reviews because they are true.

Authentic Route 66

This was going to be our historic Route 66 overnight on an extended road trip. Easy check-in with loads of information to help you enjoy your stay and tell you all about the surrounding areas and the history of your location as well as the history of the motel itself.
It is wrapped around the edges, but that was exactly what we expected.

Quite a unique and historically significant place, perfect to feel the vibes of Route 66, settling the West and the American Spirit.

This is an example of what happens when you have a loving owner take care of and put efforts in to keeping an original lodging establishment fully functioning.

It aint \"new\" but it's updated and fresh where it counts, vintage and quirky where it works best.

Also if you like movies/cartoons/western-kitsch then this is a MUST stop place, just dont expect it to be the Holiday Inn!! (It's way more fun).

I was looking to explore some Route 66 history, what i discovered was a run down dump. When leaving to get something to eat, I couldn't lock the dead bolt from outside with the key i was given, so i could only lock the door knob which was very flimsy. I pulled my laptop out of the room and put it back in the trunk of my car. The shower smelled of mold and when i turned it on, water pooled around my feet. I was standing in about 3 inches of water by the time my shower was finished; it was gross. I think the owner knows people want to experience the Route 66 vibe and he's taking advantage.

We stayed at the El Travadore because we were traveling Route 66. Owner was friendly and very knowledgable about the hotel and area.. Don’t be in a hurry to check in., he’s got a lot of information to share.
Room was clean and had been somewhat remodeled, but there was not a convenient place to charge our phones or hearing aids. One surge protector bar behind the refrigerator. One 12x12 mirror in the bathroom above the sink.. I am not that short, but i had to stand on my tip toes to use it.
Bed was comfortable.
Glad we stayed and experienced the hotel, but probably will pick a more modern hotel if we come back.

Historic is one thing, neglected is another. My husband nailed it when he said it is like \"putting lipstick on a pig.\" The whimsical murals can't disguise how tired and in need of some serious maintenance this place is. Dirty floors, some lights not working, no light at all in dark shower.

Don’t waste your time

Terrible experience! I do not recommend this hotel. The bathroom was very outdated. The shower didn’t drain at all and the water got all over the bathroom and carried into the actual room. On top of that, the service was terrible. I booked two rooms. One for me and one for a friend. I cancelled the one for a friend 3 days in advance of the trip and received a cancellation confirmation, however the hotel still charged me for both room. When I called to dispute the charge the person I spoke to on the phone was very rude and refused to honor the cancellation and issue me a refund for the second room. I strongly recommend that you look elsewhere for a place to stay.

TERRIBLE

This hotel was awful!!! The front office was dingy, dark and dirty. After listening to the owner try to impress us with facts and how many languages he spoke, we finally got to our room. The gap around the door was wide enough to allow small creatures (mice and such) to enter. The door lock was flimsy enough to easily kick open (we slept with a chair and luggage against the inside of the door). This was our fifth time driving Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica. All Hotels/Motels along the route were five star (Wagon Wheel, Campbell House, Blue Smallow, El Rancho, La Posada) with the exception of the El Trovatore!! We tried to stay true to the route, but if driving the Mother Road, do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else!!!

Be warned that if you book this motel with the “Pay at Property” option that Expedia gives you, you might not have a reservation when you get there. Your room will have been given away to someone else who chose the “Pay Now” option. Anyway, that’s what we think happened to our reservation. We are not sure that’s what happened, but it sure looks that way; like the owner doesn’t want to honor the “Pay at Property” option or else he doesn’t understand it. When we arrived on Aug 13, 2024, we were told we had no reservation even though we had a confirmation email from Expedia showing that the room had been booked on July 23rd. I showed the owner the email and he wouldn’t even look at it; kept insisting that we did not make a reservation. Then he told us that it was because our card had been declined. That is ridiculous! There is no reason for our card to have been declined and we wouldn’t have gotten a confirmation email if our card had been declined. Also, I had used it that same week to book all our other hotels for this trip and had no problem checking into those hotels. I used the “Pay at Property” option for all of them, I might add. This is a very cute motel. We stayed there two years ago and wanted to stay there again this year. We were disappointed. Thank goodness it was only 5 PM when we arrived so we had time to find another hotel. I don’t think we will ever try staying at El Trovatore again. We are too upset.

Old Route 66 classic

This old Route 66 classic has seen better days, however, the motel provides an authentic and fun Route 66 experience for those traveling the old highway. The proprietor is a hoot who will give you a good history of the motel and of Kingman. The rooms are comfortable but definitely a bit baggage worn. They are themed to actors, which is fun. We got Marilyn Monroe

The hotel proprietor was a very charming and knowledgeable fellow. He was quite interesting to talk with. The motel as a whole is very, very old and showing it's age. Each room is decorated in a celebrity theme. We stayed in the Marilyn Monroe room. The motel does have a lot of charm if you don't mind crumbling and old. The bed was very comfortable.

I booked this place last minute when other accommodation didn’t work out for me - it was way lovelier than I expected! The managers were super friendly and made sure that the room was clean and ready for me, and while I waited for that the manager gave me a quick history of the town and was very kind. Lovely room with great a/c (it was over 100 degrees during my stay and it was perfectly cool in the room). Highly recommmend!

I was so excited to stay at this hotel, a vintage hotel on Route 66. This hotel even has a theme song on their website and vintage neon signs. The photos on Expedia seemed like it would be cute and quirky. The hotel office, smelled like a dog and was cluttered. The agent who checked us in was kind and gave good recommendations for the area. After checking in, we learned that the bathtub in our room was covered by a piece of painted plywood and that we would only be able to use the shower. It was not a huge deal, just a disappointment. We decided to stroll around the property and check it out. Here is what was not disclosed when booking the room: a large portion of the hotel is rented out on a monthly basis to some hard luck stories as micro apartments The two buildings in the front serve most of the vacation bookings and look kept up. The buildings in the back look a little rundown. I'm not sure if knowing the rooms were sublet as micro apartments would have deterred me from staying with my boyfriend, but if I were staying alone it would have been nice to know up front. Also, the vintage signs have been inoperable for quite some time according to one of the residents

It is difficult to trade off authentic fixtures and fittings with modern expectations. Old original sinks and shower fittings are good but not the dirty and messy sealant around the fittings

While we expected this to be an original motel from the heyday of Route 66, I was under the impression it was updated.

The bathroom was original and I put just didn’t look clean. There was a wooden mat on the shower floor and we wondered what it covered, it seemed like there might have been mold. We didn’t shower.

Also, the curtain on the window was old and dated and left the window exposed for anyone to see in ( frankly, no one would have been able to look without binoculars.

The door had a hole in the corner which madE me wonder what critters might be visiting.

Overall, there have been nice changes but they would benefit from updating the bathroom and the exterior door.

Oh, and my key opened the room next to us when I went to the wrong groom accidentally.
The owner, Sam, was very nice and informative.

The floor in the sleeping area was updated and looked nice. The Marilyn Monroe them was nice.

Eh.....

The room was fine. The outside and property grounds were a bit rough looking. Pool didn't have any water in it. The hotel office was cluttered, pretty un professional looking, which is putting it kindly. The guy checking us in was nice and friendly. Just a bit unprofessional in presentation of their office and check in. Probably won't stay there again. It wasn't the worst place we've stayed in, but there's nothing there to be excited about. Sorry for the not so good review, it could just be better is all.

Don't Miss This Gem

The owners have poured so much love into this place. The murals and the individual decor in each room (we had the Audrey Hepburn room) added much to the experience. We were having trouble with the wifi (we were trying to watch a streaming religious service) and the maintenance guy came to our room two or three times in the evening to try to resolve it. It never got resolved, but you can't top the effort and service. Sam the owner is an original; he's going to give you the history of the motel and the town. Checking into this place isn't so much a formality as it is a commitment. Monica his wife is charming and so proud of what they've done with the place. El Trovatore is a don't-miss on Route 66.

An overnight in Kingman!

We were doing a short span of Rt 66 and decided to book this hotel because of its charm and connection to Rt 66.
The owner welcomed us with a brief history of the hotel and past guests that was nice to hear.
All of the rooms are themed rooms. They were clean and comfortable. The exterior of the buildings were painted with a variety of murals and it was a very inviting area.
