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.

Lovely hosts that took time to explain Kingman history and provide dining recommendations! Fun hotel that gives you the feeling of Route 66 days…nostalgia is a big theme.

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.

Sam, the proprietor, is extremely knowledgeable of El Travatore’s past history and he’s very knowledgeable of Kingman and the surrounds. If you are looking for an authentic experience this historic hotel is the real deal! I’m tired of the chain hotels, and am enjoying the history of the El Trovatore!

We enjoyed the historic charm of this motel on Route 66. The bathroom was clean. The sheets were nice and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed talking with the owners to learn a little more about this historic stop on Route 66. It was built in the 1930s so expect it to be more "rustic" than a new motel and just enjoy the history. We will stay here again the next time we travel through Kingman.

El Trovatore - Kingman AZ Classic
This hotel was clean, but it is definitely a historical classic. Cute how the rooms are theme based. When we initially drove by I was a bit skeptical, but it was fine. No frills, no coffee in the rooms, but Mr. D’s is just down the road and a fun little spot to grab breakfast.

Route 66
This hotel is awesome! It's a piece of route 66 history and has been very well maintained. It is still very much like it would have been on the 1950s, so if you're expecting a modern 5 star hotel this probably isn't for you. BUT, if you're looking to experience a piece of history in a very nice hotel with amazing owners that are full of information about route 66 at it's best, then you need to check this place out.
