After my earlier experience with the Rodeway Inn in Tucumcari, NM, I thought I had reasonable expectations for a good stay. As it was, this place turned out to be one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at anywhere in the world. Please see the attached photos and descriptions. Arriving, there were a lot of guys hanging around in the parking lot near the lobby, looking for trouble. They looked like a biker gang of some sort. Going into the lobby to check-in, the desk clerk looked like he could've been one of them! The room was a disaster. The door looked like it had been repaired after the room had been broken into. When I got ready to leave the next morning, I found that it looked like someone had tried breaking into my room while I slept. In the room, there was broken and damaged furniture and the WiFi was not working. I called the front desk about it and was told that they knew it wasn't working. And, they had no idea when it would be fixed. I had to use the TV stand as the table for my supper as the table was very unstable. As I was getting ready to leave the next morning, I saw a sign on the door of one room indicating that the late TV actor Martin Milner had slept in that room. Probably a long time ago when he was in the old TV series, ”Route 66”. Indeed, it was fitting for the town itself as it seems that Kingman is trying to trade today on a past that was long-ago. And, maybe wasn't all that great to begin with. Kingman has a very good Route 66 museum. And, while Andy Devine was a really nice guy, he wasn't a ”star”. To sum-up, I'm amazed that this dump still has any affiliation with Choice Hotels. It needs a ground-level up renovation. Starting with a bulldozer. They need to drop this place. It sets a really bad image for all their other properties. Stay away!
