2. Hotel Brunswick in Kingman, AZ
We stayed at the Hotel Brunswick in Kingman, AZ back around 96 or 97. We were intrigued by its location on the old Route 66, and of the building style. Like stepping back in time.

When we checked in, the Front Desk person notified us that besides the usual room items, there were also ear plugs available

on the pillows. Sure enough, there they were right along with the obligatory chocolate mints.

Good thing, too! The train tracks were about 100 feet on the other side of 66, and there was a road crossing right there as well with no signal lights. A few times during the night the trains used their air horns to warn any traffic crossing the tracks. They let loose right in front of the hotel. It was beyond loud!!! Great memory of such a unique hotel.
