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.

Disappointing
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 The bathroom was very outdated.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
