There is a hotel in Kingman that has a deal with Shebles. I think that it is a quality inn. It was a decent place, and there is a breakfast there which isn't too bad(cereal, muffins, oj). They also have a free shuttle to the airport. It is about a 10-15 minute drive so you can save some gas money with that. I enjoyed my time there. Everyone is very friendly and willing to help. My advice would be to make sure that you have a good grasp on the academic part of the IFR stuff, and then everything else will go well. I went there last April but I assume that nothings changed much.
good luck!
p.s. If you want a really good steak, try the "Dam Bar." Good stuff. If you do stay at the quality inn it is within walking distance of the hotel.
