- 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!
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.
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.
So glad to see this Wigwam stay was much better than the last. These are so well kept, too! Thanks for taking us along on such a fun experience, Justin!!! 😊
when you said "we're back at route 66" i automatically expected the song to start and was taken back when it didn't lol
I am glad you had a better experience with this one. You deserve to have a better time . I hope you'll take Ally to this one .
…if he can talk her into it after that other one.
after watching your videos my wife and I are going to travel route 66 for 2 months, thanks for the great videos
Holbrook is my hometown, usually no one ever knows it exists lol so this makes me happy.
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.
I'm glad you've had a much better experience this time around. Beautiful place and well kept.
awesome as always Justin keep it up and safe travels
Loving the evolution of your productions.
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!
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.
Heading there tonight. Thanks for this
Great video as always! Glad the stay was better this time!
Such a different experience Justin! Great place! It's on my list for "road trip destination".
What fun! Lived in Arizona for 40 + years. Great Mexican restaurant in Holbrook also. Stopped by here every time I drove to Keams Canyon, Winslow, Flagstaff. Drove 100 miles to work every day one way. What a life.
Definitely the best way to make things positive.
Your filmography ( hope that's a word) is excellent. Thanks for all you do.
Very cool. Stayed there twice, and enjoyed every minute. redemption for the Wigwam. It was fun to sit outside and see tourists (yes like me) walk by and say, are you really staying here.
Justin I am so happy for you that you finally got to stay in a better Wigwam Motel 😀
Justin you did it again another great blog I will look forward to the next blog sometime soon sometime.
Great Video! We appreciate the historical facts that you include in these videos.
The interior did look so much bigger (and nicer). Glad you had a happy experience.
Yes! You finally made it! I love it!
The glass inserts come from electrical poles in the 40s and 30s what they use to insulate the wire around the pole
You need to visit little America, Wyoming off of I80. Very cool and interesting hotel and diner. There’s a residential area behind it where the employees live.
Love this video! I know the Lewis family and I love how you appreciate all of the little details. HI from Holbrook!
VALIDATION!!! So glad this was a great experience--you can write the last one off! Love the classic cars touch; I wish they still had the coin radios!
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!
Glad you had a better experience in that Wigwam Motel. It definitely looked quite a bit nicer in this video. I bet no sewage came through the shower in this one.
Nice video Justin! I very much enjoyed the content, great job!
I love seeing the ole Wigwams in Holbrook! My cousin lives across the highway and one street over! Glad you enjoyed your stay!
So glad I found this channel.
Always wanted to see one. Thanks!!
another brilliant episode
glass insulators were used on telephone Telegraph and electrical pylons as they did not conduct electricity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electricity)
SO HAPPY FOR YOU MY FRIEND!
Great Follow up on the "better" Wigwam motel in AZ! Freaking awesome job Mr. RandomLand!
You got to check out the Buckhorn Mineral Baths on main st. In Mesa Az & the diving lady diving sign down the street.
Looks better than the other Wig Wam Motel. Great video!
Hey I live in Holbrook! Glad you came our way! :)
The glass insulator you got was used on street poles back in the 20s to 40s.
Stayed thee in 1953 for four days while my Dad had his car worked on at a nearby auto repair shop. Did a lot of adventures just outside the town.
EXcellent video.Very redeeming and heartwarming.Thank you
Awesome job as always Justin! Gimmie, Gimmie , Gimmie I need some more! Gimmie, GImmie, GImmie don't ask what for 1,2,3,4!
Thanks Justin, so enjoyed the video! Blessings Salo
Soooo awesome, thanks for sharing !
Lol that last part and the "desk to do my makeup" part, hilarious!!!
Justin, has anyone who owns a store or hotel on Route 66 ever mentioned if business picked up after Cars was released?
Love the new format, dude! Can't wait to see some Randomland Adventures from WDW.
Awesome, I really want to go now! Nice drive, no need for kevlar.
Thanks for letting us live your experience it was fun.
As soon as you mentioned the two beds, I had a feeling there would be some jumping action to ensue. I was not disappointed.
It looks lovely - one for my bucket list!
Glad you had a great time
Being a native Arizonian, I'm extra glad that you enjoyed your stay at these Wigwams!
I remember those old style key chains that used to have the motel address on them in case you left with it in your pocket you could drop in the mail and it would be returned to the motel ☺️ ... Though how often would anyone actually do that🤔 Cool motel & so compact 🙂
Nice comeback from the last Video
this is the best wigwam hotel in the USA. did you find the Secret Museum they have.
Going along with you on these awesome adventures is a real treat. Hopefully I can do something like this one day.
4:04
So Cars 2006 looking
Thank you Justin for this trip down memory lane. I also stayed at this same Wigwam Motel in 2003 on my drive to San Francisco from Louisiana. I wonder if the Safeway is still across the street? I liked the shower, too.
Awesome vid, Justin!! So glad you got "redeemed" here. :-)
Loved the last second attempt to TP the teepee.
Justin you should come to Oklahoma. RT comes through Vinita Ok about 35 miles from us. There's a historic cafe there called Clantons. Good food and good people. And if you want they'll give you a free sample if calf fries. 😏
forgot on rt 66.
So much zaniness but kept me laughing!! Thanks for taking me along.
I've been by that motel when I was younger now, I'm going to have to stay there at least one night. Very cool Mr.J.
love the vids keep up the awesome work!
Yay!!! I'm so glad you came to our small little town :) glad it was a redemption kinda stay.
Thanks for all your videos Justin, I always enjoy seeing where in the U.S you are, and what crazy antics you're up to. P.S: Better luck next time when to tp a teepee.
If the Wigwam Motel was built in 1950, that means it's 66 years old - on Route 66! Weiiiird!
Love this video,I am from Whakatane New Zealand
LOL I used to do the bed thing!But it was water with sharks.Glad this stay was nicer.
According to the wigwam motel website, those 2 small wigwams in your book were restrooms. Love your videos!
I'm going to Walt Disney World in October and your videos have inspired me to be extra observant while at the parks.
Funny how you mentioned the one in San Bernardino x) I live around the corner from it haha.
Hey love your videos btw, but just one question. what song do you use at the end it sounds like a randomland remix in a 8-bit style but where can I find it?
This place looks awesome!
Thank you so much. That was awesome. You have such a great sense of humor. I can't believe they can fit 2 beds in that little tee pee.
Another awesome video!
One question... What happened to your Mustang???
I think this car was a rental
Love the time lapse. At night Cool real cool
No shoes on the bed! It means someone in the house will die soon! - My German grandmother.
Oh my gosh, my grandma would say this too!!! I thought I was the only one! Lol
Wow never heard that one.
* Takes shoes off *
im so itchin to go to holbrook great vid. once again
LOL its good Kumar isn't at this Wigwam! i had an amazing time reading those yelp reviews! it was a crack up XD
Can't wait to see if you had better luck with this one, kind Sir! :-D
Awesome video!
Hey Justin, just to let you know that the Holbrook Wigwam, was also a filming location for the movie; “Dark Wind” (91) base on the novel by Tony Hillerman, Starring Louis Diamond Phillips. So He was actually there in one those Wigwam teepees. Check out the movie, you’ll see. ☺️
lol the end is priceless
So cool when you signed the book and in the "from" column you put "Randomland"..!!
I'm actually from AZ but now live in Cali so it's cool to see you explore my home state. :)
Great video as always! Also, pleeeeease make that Randomland theme avaiable for download, i would listen to it for days, maybe even months? Quite possibly a year?
if you ever get a studabaker it needs a fozzie bear . but why did you want to t p a wigwam?
Glad you experience was a lot better :)
Wow, way better than the other place. The inside looks nice except for the TV. Most hotels have flat screens.
Yay more Wigwam fun!
I want to do a Route 66 road trip
Glass insulators were used on telephone poles to connect the wires to the pole.
Another great video, where is the mustang?
