Best Western Plus Kings Inn and Suites

Best Western Plus Kings Inn and Suites is a mid-priced Kingman hotel that appeals to value-minded travelers and motorists. It sits close to the interstate and the town's Route 66 corridor, which makes it easy to arrive late and leave early. Guests tend to choose it for the combination of a comfortable room, a pool and a breakfast that is typical of the Best Western Plus tier. It is a sensible choice for families, couples and groups doing a loop that includes Oatman, Hackberry and Grand Canyon Caverns.

Staying in Kingman offers a good balance of services and access. The town has gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants and repair shops, which are scarce along the open stretches of Route 66. A hotel here lets you resupply before heading into the less-populated country around Peach Springs and Seligman. Rooms in properties of this type commonly include refrigerators, microwaves and work desks, and some offer suites with extra space, although you should check the property page for current room categories and amenities.

Amenities matter in the desert. A pool provides relief from summer heat, and a hot breakfast fuels the morning drive. Free parking is usually available and often convenient for larger vehicles, motorbikes and classic cars. Pet policies, laundry facilities and accessible rooms vary by property, so ask in advance if these matter to you. The staff in a roadside hotel often know the area well, and they can recommend restaurants, tell you about road conditions and suggest the best time for the Oatman climb.

For sightseeing, Kingman is a convenient hub. The Route 66 Museum and Powerhouse visitor center are a few minutes away, Mr D'z diner is nearby, and Locomotive Park is walkable from downtown. A short drive brings you to the Mohave Museum, Hualapai Mountain Park and the trailheads of the Cerbat range. Oatman is about forty minutes on a winding road, and Grand Canyon Caverns is about an hour and a quarter to the northeast.

Plan around season and day of week. Summer is hot and sunny, so early starts and long afternoon pool breaks are the best strategy. Fall and spring are the most pleasant times, with many travelers on the road, so book ahead. Midweek rates are often lower than weekends, particularly in winter. If you are touring in a group, ask about connecting rooms or suites. Wherever you stay, bring a refillable water bottle and a small cooler, which make desert days much easier.
