There is a Best Western set off the main road in Lake Havasu. This is on the opposite side of the road to the lake. It has a swimming pool in the middle court yard and secure boat parking. There are also several hotels round the London Bridge area of Lake Havasu and some smaller bed and breakfasts.

1 Heat Hotel, 1420 N McCulloch Blvd, ☏ +1 928-854-2833, toll-free: +1 888-898-4328, [email protected]. Very modern hotel right next to London Bridge with funky rooms with Bridge views. The lively bar (which is also the reception area) with a large outdoor drinking area with bridge views are clearly audible in rooms, so it's not a hotel for those who want a quiet early night! 2 London Bridge Resort, 1477 Queens Bay Lake (on the water and at the base of the London Bridge, 20 minutes from Havasu City Airport), ☏ +1 928-855-0888, toll-free: +1 866-331-9231, fax: +1 928-855-5404.
