Back in August, Alysia and I stopped at this famous bunk-down establishment for a nose around. Two things of interest I will mention here:
1) These are not actually "wigwams," but "tipis," and...
2) Though there are people at the front desk and cars in the parking lot, you can't stay here anymore. This is a motel-as-museum, an entire complex of buildings that are not being used, but will not be torn down either, as it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They are trapped in a kind of limbo, and that's neat.
Here is a nice catalog of all the Wigwam-inspired motels across the country. You would think that one Wigwam-inspired motel would be enough, but you would be wrong.
UPDATE: A website purporting to be for the WigWam Motel in Holbrook has links where you can make reservations to stay. I do not know what kind of chicanery this is, but I hope it's true chicanery!
