  • HERE IT IS! WIGWAM REDEMPTION in Holbrook Arizona! You may remember that I stayed the wigwams in Rialto/San Bernardino California, with very sketchy and disturbing results, but after receiving a refund from those wigwams, I decided to redeem the Route 66 experience and my bucket list dream by traveling the mother road to Holbrook Arizona and sleeping in the original Route 66 Teepees, WIGWAM VILLAGE #6!
    Come with me and check out the real-life equivalent of Disney/Pixar's Cozy Cone motel from Cars Land, The Holbrook Wigwams!

    Justin's channels are what the Travel Channel used to be. I finally figured out why I can watch some of these videos over and over again; they remind me of Summers with my Dad when I was growing up. Parents divorced when I was young but every Summer my Dad would take my sister and I on a "Adventure". Back in the days when a Summer felt like a year off from school. Thanks, Justin!

    This Wigwam Motel blows the last one out of the water! This is how a business in America should be, and usually is ran. Thank you so very much for these awesome & greatly informative videos Justin. You have saved my family and I from a horrible experience at the other one. We will be sure to only visit this one in Holbrook, AZ. Looking forward to more of your fantastic videos! ;)

    I just had to tell you how much my son loves your videos! At almost 5 years old sometimes watching your videos (randomeland more then this channel) is the only thing that will calm him down when he's upset. I really appreciate the kid friendly content and he just loves your videos!

    Hey, Holbrook is my hometown. I think that its really cool that you went out of your way to check out the location there after the bad experience that you had in Rialto. Thank you for doing that.

    At 1:48 min. The glass insulators go on telephone poles, the wires are wrapped around the glass insulators. Also, people collect them as each one has the date it was made stamped on them, some date pretty far back.

    Great video Justin. Kind of inspired me so I went and visited the Wigwam that was closest to me. The Wigwam #2 located in Cave City Kentucky. I didn't stay in one although they are open and plan to go back and stay. This one is a bit off the beaten path and doesn't look like it sees much traffic but still very cool. When I went into the main office the lady there gave me a lot of info about the place and when I asked her about the spiral staircase going downstairs she said that at one time it was a restaurant but now is just a storage area.

    If the Wigwam Motel was built in 1950, that means it's 66 years old - on Route 66! Weiiiird!

    @ellenjo86324 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yay! Redemption in Arizona! As an Arizonan I knew we wouldn't let you down, Justin! I love the Holbrook Wigwam Village #6! Way better experience there for us too than what we had at creepy San Bernardino Wigwams (with that crazy kook yelling at us also. What a freak!) Oh the joy seeing your visit to the Arizona Wigwams. We have so much fondness for that place and I enjoyed your reaction to the vintage furnishings and cars, the night time views, that crazy 1970s air-conditioner, the tilty bathroom ceilings and authentic Native American style of the Navajo bedding and accents. This video made me so happy! Thank you!OH! And the Jackrabbit Trading Post! Another favorite Rt 66 classic! A suggestion: You should visit La Posada in Winslow sometime. It is a pretty remarkable place.

    Just spent 2 weeks in the southwest. Except when I was in Utah and Albuquerque, I stayed on rt66. The people I talked to take great pride on this route and want to keep it thriving. I watched these videos before I went and saw what was mentioned in Arizona. Williams, Winslow and Holbrook Arizona were really fun towns. The woman I spoke with in Holbrook was bragging about being the only place on rt66 that has a 90° right turn. Did see the wigwam and Jack rabbit, but wasn't open yet when I got there. When I get back to NM, definitely going to tucumcari!

    I love how the trees are shaped like the Wigwams. So glad you had a better experience at the Holbrook one. :) Definitely have to go up and experience the place for myself. As a lover of everything Native American I would be in 7th heaven staying in one of the tee pees. :) I checked out the price for a room on their webpage and the price to stay in one isn't bad. I also love the added edition of the old cars. Sooo cool!
