El Trovatore Motel features Cartoon type mural under 6 feet tall by 10 feet wide, probably painted by local artist David Stem. This brightly coloured Mural is painted on a wooden hoarding on the boundary wall, located near to the entrance ramp off the Mother Road, into the Motel at 1440 E Andy Devine Ave, Kingman.

From The Kingman Daily Miner Website:
"Color is blooming at El Trovatore Motel as its owners continue to add new murals to the Route 66 fixture.
Sam and Monica Frisher, who reopened the business at 1440 E. Andy Devine Ave. in early 2012, recently hired a local artist to touch up several murals painted last year by another artist and to continue adding new artwork on the motel, a wall behind it and on the bottom and sides of the pool."

From the El Traovetor Motel website:
"Out with the old, in with the new! We are now open featuring newly re-decorated theme rooms. Since Kingman, AZ was home to Andy Devine whose namesake El Trovatore is located on, Andy Devine Avenue (Route 66) and such notable icons as Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe as well as James Dean were all guests here in the past. Staying with us gives the guest the ultimate route 66 experience, including the recently restored historic 100 foot high neon tower sign and neon marqee lit nightly." Text Source: (visit link)
