Dear Friends.,

With great pleasure I'd like to Commend The Wigwam Motel for offering...,
Executive treatment to all guests.

The Wigwams are one of The Last All Original Route 66 attractions still available to..,
weary or adventuresome travelers...,

The Tee Pees have been Restored Better than New and are open to the Public as well..!!

I'm Proud Recommend the Wigwam Motel.,

Best Regards,
Jon Bradley Sr.

Room tip: Just ask for Kumar the owner..

I live on Los Angeles but had to be in San Bernardino for the weekend. What better place to stay then the Wigwam on Route 66?! The immediate area is not exactly full of great things to do, but there are several good food options near the hotel, and it is an easy drive on 66 from here to LA. The owners have done a fantastic job restoring the place and are very thoughtful and caring. This is definitely a place worth staying at while driving the Mother Road.

As soon a we arrived , we regretted our choice. The area is really not touristic , quite unsafe . The boulevard is busy , no restaurant or fast food , and at night you just feel like close the door and lock up!
The room was not really clean , the exterior was not fine at all , lots of old stuff and garbage on the back . We did at least 50 different motels during our stays in the US, it' s the first time we had to put 25 cents in the ice machine !
We thought it would be so fun to sleep at this historic place , but that wasn't at all .
We don't understand why there is so much good reviews , are they fake? Strange...

Theres not many places left from route 66 hayday, and it was great to find this novel motel to stay in. Its basic but comfortable with plenty of facilities nearby. I understand that the owner is looking into getting some colour back on the wigwams, which will look a lot better. The showers were great. My son thought it was fantastic to stay in a wigwam.

When I had childhood fantasies of driving Route 66, the famous courtyard of the Wigwam Motel in California was the first thing that popped into my mind. What would it be like to stay in one of those old school wigwams??? I even had a postcard of it on my bedroom wall as a teen. When it came to finally planning our Route 66 adventure, it was the first place I contacted for a room. It did not disappoint.

We stayed at both Wigwam Motels on our journey and I loved both of them, but the room quality here was much higher. It was purchased by the Patel family a few years ago and they have done a great job restoring and updating this classic. The son, Kumar, is a manager and is very passionate about Route 66. He is a lot of fun to talk to and glad to share his photos of his 66 trips. They are doing a beautiful job keeping this icon alive and I was very impressed with our wigwam. For the small square footage, the space feels very large and is well utilized. The bed was very comfortable, as was the couch and seating area. The big tv and an exciting touch. The bathroom was clean and functional. I liked the little diamond shape windows and Route 66 lanterns outside the room. The palm trees and well maintained pool area give it an unforgettable atmosphere. At night when the neon sign comes on, it is a sight to behold. The family serves coffee in the morning and keeps a nice selection of motel logo and 66 gifts for sale. Also, wifi is free which is much appreciated.

San Bernardino and Rialto aren't the greatest areas, but there are a lot of hidden 66 gems around the concrete superslab. Don't skip this and head straight for the center of LA because this is a great little motel and an a once in a lifetime classic not to be missed.
