Quiet Overnight cozy
This is a isolated, older motel. It was clean and cozy. It is a good place for an overnight stay. No food choices, so bring your own.

Room close to see Rushmore
The room was clean and had an outside seating area at the front door if you desired to watch the freeway cars drive by. A great place to stay.

Great little gem!
We were very pleasantly surprised! For this little town, we had low expectations. This room was clean, appeared freshly painted and high quality sheets on the bed. I would definitely stay here again.

Great little roadside motel in Wasta. The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. If you are headed to the Badlands and aren't a fan of tourist traps skip Wall and stay in Wasta instead.

When we first drove up, I wasn't sure about the motel, but when we went into the room I was surprised about how nice it was - the room was clean, the beds comfortable, the bathroom was clean, the room was decorated really cute - we had a great stay!

South Dakota Charm
Cozy and clean with a vintage feel. Located just off highway 90 in a small, quiet, safe feeling town. Only 13 miles from Wall/Badlands.

This motel is exceptional! Extremely clean and quiet, had amazing amenities, and the motel itself is adorable and has such a vintage South Dakota feel. Perfect for people with dogs as well! This was my third summer staying in the area to visit the badlands, and staying at this motel in Wasta was a much more enjoyable experience than staying in Wall. I could not recommend the Redwood Motel more!!

Roadtrip dream motel
This is an old school roadside motel. Its perfect. Pull right up to your room. No dragging your stuff through lobbies. A basket of snacks in your room. Surprisingly modern upgrades in room. And the bar down the street has amazing burgers!!

Very friendly check in. I love that. The property shows it's age, but there's nothing overly wrong with it. It's clean and no bugs. What more can you ask for? 👍
