Hotel Brunswick
Kingman has a number of modern hotels and motels, many lining Route 66 at the northeastern entrance to town. For a historic lodging experience with a youthful vibe, head to the Hotel Brunswick in the heart of downtown. This 100-year-old, Old West-flavored hotel has 15 rooms with private bath, as well as another nine "cowboy" and "cowgirl" rooms with shared baths that the hotel says are "ideal for the budget minded." It's been run since 2006 by owners Jason and Jennifer Pfaff, a young couple who relocated from coastal Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina.
Hotel Brunswick also offers convenient access to the Cerbat Foothills Recreation Area, just three miles away. The recreation area is home to the Camp Beale Loop Trail, a 3.2-mile loop up and over a mesa viewpoint that's open to hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians. And if you need to gear up before hitting the trail, the Brunswick is three blocks away from local outfitters Outdoor Creations Supply.
