Wigwam Motels were found throughout the US in the 40′s and 50′s. I believe that two remain, both along 66 and one in Rialto where we’re spending the evening.
Each “wigwam” is an individual concrete cabin shaped like a teepee with a round room. They’re surprisingly fun.
The faded advertising slogan around our camp-like motel reads “do it in a teepee” – though I also believe that previous owners were much kinder to prostitutes than the current administration, and wonder if this was the slogan for the chain.
Highly recommended if you’re ever traveling through Rialto – ultra clean and well-manicured grounds.
