When you are searching for themed hotel rooms among route 66 motels, El Trovatore Motel, is one of the few pre-World War II Kingman Arizona motels that are still standing. When taking a trip on Route 66, motels are among the attractions people want to experience. This historic route 66 motel started in 1937 as a service station, with the tourist court added later in 1939, and was first owned by John F. Miller.
This motel with hollywood themed rooms is located on El Trovatore Hill, in Kingman, Arizona, a location on a stony bluff that awards stunning vistas of the Hualapai Mountains and the awe inspiring landscapes that embrace it. The El Trovatore, recently refurbished, easily accommodates groups of fifty or more including Route 66 tour groups.

Out with the old, in with the new! We are now open featuring newly re-decorated theme rooms. Since Kingman, AZ was home to Andy Devine whose namesake El Trovatore is located on, Andy Devine Avenue (Route 66) and such notable icons as Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe as well as James Dean were all guests here in the past.

This place is GREAT!! The owners were great! Very knowledgeable of local history and very friendly. It holds within it the era it was built, 1937. The rooms are themed, which is cool. Really cool....has it's own personality. If your looking for the convenience of modern motels, pass it by. But, if your looking for nostalgia, friendliness and maybe just sitting outside your room at the table and chairs that are there talking with the other guest........this is the PLACE!!

It’s a small motel with average size rooms. Probably the oldest hotel I’ve ever stayed at without major updates. With that being said it’s one of the coolest, they’ve managed to keep the old “feel”. The owner was super nice with all the information a person could ask for. He loves this motel and the town of Kingsman. The rooms a very clean so let those worries pass you by. The hotel door is an old wood door, you walk in to a clean room with a funny old bathroom like nothing I’ve seen in a hotel. Please don’t waste your money at a chain hotel in this little town. You travel to stay

Understand, I'm giving this five stars for what it is - a vintage Route 66 motel with great charm, not for being the Ritz. Owner is amazing. I made a mistake in my booking, he corrected it with zero fuss. I'm pretty sure he stayed up just to check us in as the last customers of the evening. Room was tidy, with real linens! Clean ones, at that. Bed was quite comfy and we enjoyed our stay. This was a fun place to spend the night and I hope to return with more time on my hands. If you are looking to stay in Kingman, please support the many local businesses in town. You won't regret it.

I have stayed here 3 times so I'm not sure why I haven't reviewed this hotel yet. Most recent stay was last week on my way home to NC from California. I have stayed in the James Dean Suite, the Audrey Hepburn Suite, and the Marilyn Monroe Suite. This is a classic Old Route 66 hotel not far from I-40. Given its age, there are some things that are not to contemporary specs -- the bathroom is smaller than you'll find at the Marriott. But everything you need is here: clean bed, fridge, microwave, AC. Checking in is an experience in itself as the owner will tell you everything you need to know about

You have to know what to expect here- this is not a Hilton. It's an old, quirky, historical motel along Route 66. However, my room was very clean and it was apparent the owners take pride in the place. Sam at the front desk was really interesting to talk to! It made the small town of Kingman memorable. Lots of history, and much more interesting than staying in a chain hotel.
