“+ Desk person is a wealth of knowledge. Told us very interesting things about the area. He was a wealth of knowledge. Very interesting person. + Room was very comfortable + Location was great + Room decoration was fun”

“Yes, it is retro! what you should expect when you book this type of nostalgia. Staff very friendly. Good stay!”

“The owner was amazing and funny. Warm and sincere when thanking myself and another guest Gary, for choosing to stay there during what had been hard times. Will stay there every time I pass through Kingman.”

“Rooms had all been remodeled but without losing any of the charm from a motel that is over 80 years old. The owner and his wife were great - very friendly and happy to share information about the history of the both the area and the motel. The room and bathroom were clean and the bed comfortable. I believe it is critical that people support these old motels where the owners have put in the work to remodel and keep the place alive. Much more fun then staying in a modern box with no character,”

“Classic Route 66 decor. Friendly owners regaled us with stories and information.”

“Everything, from the hotel buildings, to the classic signage and incredibly well painted murals, to the genuine thank you for staying and a definitive history of Kingman given at check-in, El Travatore Motel has the spirit of Rt 66.”

“Located on Historic Route 66, this motel is not for everyone. It is for those who like history and like something quirky. It was built in the 1930's and was built for the times. It does not include the perks the chain hotel's of today have like fitness room. It was Quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.”

“it was very clean. We stayed in the Marilyn Monroe room. The owner was who checked us in. He shared all kinds of interesting info about the town and hotel.”

“I love the theme room and the vintage charm of the room. I appreciate that it was not modernized like so many other properties. I will definitely be back.”

“so we were doing Route 66 and had been trying to at least live at a motel once. then we found this gem! staff are very friendly and made us feel at home! it is exactly place like this that really made the small town stay memorable and different! the place is not your fancy four seasons but it got everything you needed. the room is old but gives very authentic feeling. very much reminds me of a pre-war New York apartment. yes, if you are into old charm, warm people and small town history. this place will make you happy 100%!”
