If you are traveling Route 66 staying at The Wigwam Motel is a must do! We enjoyed a relaxing night in our teepee after a day of exploring Route 66. The owners are doing a wonderful job making this a great place to stay. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable. The grounds are well kept. We would definitely stay... More

Just got home from our stay at the Wigwam Motel in Rialto and let me just say it was a blast. It's great to see that a wonderful piece of our history is being restored and we can have the fun of experiencing it. Kumar, the manager, was the perfect host, sitting at the pool and discussing his travel plans... More

My wife and I stayed one night at the Wigwam Motel in San Bernardino in August and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The highlights: our room (oops, I mean teepee) was spotlessly clean, the... More

When planning my "Bucket List" trip of Americas Mother Road, the historic US Route 66, I became intrigued with the Wigwam Motel & decided to spend the last night on "The Road" at this historic landmark. I was not disappointed, after calling (GPS) was acting up & finding I was only a block away, I spied the circle of Wigwams... More

After the glitz and glamour of 3 nights in Las Vegas we looked around on the Internet and prebooked the Wigwam Motel enroute to Hollywood. Worth noting that it was tricky to find, as the street numbers didn't seem to match the hotel reservation sheet. Nevertheless, found it eventually. I suppose, like many these days, we're fussy travellers, but initial... More

After a very, very long weekend of business and exploration in the L.A. area, we set our sites on the Wigwam Motel in the hopes of beating the traffic on Monday morning and to unwind. What an absolute gem! A near perfect time capsule from travel in the non generic age when Route 66 was the Main Street of America... More

Grew up in that town, and visited wigwams with old friends who grew up there as well. Rialto has gotten rough around the edges, but the Wigwam Motel is fine. A bit noisy from street, but it is very clean, very fun, and owners have their act together. Really great if you have kids! We are going back next year. More

The nostalgia is there! Rooms are clean and much larger than you'd expect. Friendly staff - excellent Route 66 gift store (lots to choose from) - very nice outdoor pool, excellent courtyard setting with green grass. Feels like old-days Route 66 in the modern era (even offered Wi-Fi). Definitely one of the major highlights of the entire Route 66 Trip.... More
