Why stay here

  • The lowest price in this guideIt is the only place in price tier 1 of our Arizona guide, at around €58 a night for two in mid-January 2027 when we checked, converted from US dollars. Value for money scores 8.5, well above its overall score.
  • On Route 66 itselfThe motel is on East Andy Devine Avenue, the old Route 66 through Kingman, about 1.4 km in a straight line from the Arizona Route 66 Museum and roughly 2.5 km from I-40. That makes it an easy stop for one night on the road, with free parking at the door.
  • Wi-Fi and staff score wellFree Wi-Fi scores 9.1, its highest sub-score and better than at the Arizona Inn, and staff score 8.6. If you need to upload photos or plan the next day online, that matters.
  • Reception open 24 hoursThe motel lists a 24-hour front desk, and check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:30. That suits a late arrival from Las Vegas or a long day on the old road.

Good to know before you book

  • Children count as adults from 6All ages are welcome, but from age 6 a child is charged as an adult, and there are no cots or extra beds.

Rooms

There are four room types. Couples can choose a queen room or a king room; the king gives a little more space. For two friends or a small family there are rooms with two double beds or two queen beds; the queens are the more comfortable choice if you are sharing beds with another adult.

All rooms have air conditioning and cable TV. Remember that children from 6 count as adults on price, so add everyone when you search.

Getting there and around

From Phoenix Sky Harbor

Kingman is almost 200 miles (about 320 km) from Phoenix, roughly three hours by car via US-60 and US-93, according to Enterprise's route planner.

From Las Vegas

Las Vegas to Kingman is about 119 miles (192 km), roughly 2 hours 20 minutes via US-93 according to AAA. See Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon for the stops on the way, including Hoover Dam.

To the Grand Canyon South Rim

Mather Point is about 200 km in a straight line; by road the South Rim is about 175 miles (280 km), roughly 2 hours 45 minutes via I-40 and Williams. Grand Canyon West and the Skywalk are about 79 miles (127 km) and 1.5 hours away. Check Grand Canyon fees in 2026 first.

Along Route 66

Heading east on State Route 66, the Hackberry General Store is about 35 km in a straight line and Seligman about 107 km. Fill up in Kingman: services are sparse on that stretch.
