Here is an excellent historic 1937 aerial photo view of the "El Trovatore Auto Court, Kingman." Their postcard ads read "Complete Cafe, Car and Service Station - On Hiway "66" One-half Mile E. of Kingman, Ariz." You can see the motel on the right, the service station in the middle, and the cafe on the right of this photo. It may not be the stylish modern resort that it once was but this Route 66 gem still shines bright in Kingman, Arizona.

When you are searching for themed hotel rooms among Route 66 motels, El Trovatore, is one of the few pre-World War II Kingman Arizona motels that are still standing. 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.
