What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 748 guest reviews
The Wigwam Motel earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment as a beloved Route 66 landmark, with guests consistently praising the friendly staff, spotless grounds, and the sheer novelty of sleeping in a concrete wigwam. Complaints are minor and largely accepted as part of the retro charm — small bathrooms, modest amenities, occasional maintenance niggles, and a price point some find slightly steep — though at least one guest raised a thoughtful cultural concern about the Native-themed concept. For travellers seeking a fun, historic, and well-maintained novelty stay rather than luxury, it reliably delivers.
