Nostalgic Signage in Holbrook, AZ
The whole town of Holbrook, AZ, where the Wigwam Motel is located, seems frozen in time -- in a good way! Check out this awesome signage:
The Wigwam Motel!
"Have You Stayed in a Wigwam Lately?" the sign outside the Wigwam Hotel asks. Indeed!
Kaii and I just had to stay here. Now a historical landmark that makes it onto just about every poster, brochure and video about historic Route 66, the Wigwam Motel harkens back to the enthusiasm and optimism of the 50s and 60s, and the midcentury golden age of pushing westward to California in America's shiny new cars.
The inside was roomier than you might think and nicely heated, the beds comfy and bathroom clean (although seriously 50s-style). It was cute that they also parked period cars outside to add to the ambience!
