El Trovatore Motel

Owner very knowledgeable about area. Got a few tips from him

We are driving Route 66 for a national magazine assignment, experiencing historic motor courts along the way. We were nearly three weeks into the trip by the time we landed here. While it looked charming from the photos, when we arrived, we decided not to stay. There were bugs in the room, and it was dingy and musty (sandbags outside are a telltale of flooding). The proprietors were friendly, but the office is cluttered and in disrepair. We booked the most expensive room, which the website stated had been remodeled. If it was, that was some time ago. When we brought up our concern about the bugs to the proprietors, and told them we needed to stay elsewhere, they agreed to refund our money. But it's been nearly a week, and they have gone ghost. The bugs probably weren't bed bugs, but in case they were, we didn't want to risk spreading them to other hotels and guests on this trip. I would also steer clear of this place if you have kids. There are permanent residents living either at the hotel, or nearby, who, sadly, have drug incapacitations. Part of the charm of staying in motor courts is hanging outside in the evenings and talking to fellow travelers. That would be risky here. If the owners read this, please just honor your word and refund our money so we close this chapter and quietly walk away.

Got lot of information about the town.

Very Old Motel The outside was really cool looking, quiet spot but the bathroom was especially dated. However overall an ok stay for the night, no issues, super friendly manager.

An amazing and authentic Route 66 motel. Hosts were fun, friendly and welcoming. Gave some really useful information about Kingman and made the check in experience fun and memorable compared to most places. The room was quirky and felt really original like a time capsule. I'm glad route 66 still has places like this.
