Wigwam Village Motel #7 was built in 1949. It is the last teepee style motel built in the nation and is located in Rialto, California. Three of these classic examples of Roadside architecture are still in existence, this is one of two still operating on Route 66.

The motel has new owners who have remodeled the 19 rooms while taking care to preserve the landmark's historic flavor. Amenities include kidney shaped pool, cable TV with HBO, telephones, refrigerators and air conditioning in all rooms, free coffee at office, and on demand fax service, hair dryer and iron/ironing board. Restaurant and supermarket located nearby.
