Redwood Motel

Seriously one of the most pleasant surprises of our trip. We got into Badlands area and there were absolutely no vacancies. This particular evening there were no rooms from Enchanted Highway all the way to Rushmore. We were about to sleep in our car when we found this Motel. We were a little apprehensive because it is rough looking on the outside. (They are in the process of remodeling). The rooms are clean the towels are clean. It is no frills but was absolutely wonderful for the price and being an actual motel. The man who manages it is amazing and sweet. But the best part is the area around it. It is seriously a real life Radiator Springs. The old town died when the new highway went through in the s 70's. I would recommend this to anyone unless you are a 4 star Hotel person only. Bring your own food. There is a bar in this town and a gas station with vending machines.

we stopped to get a room since we couldn’t see 10 feet in front of us. owner had us follow him to their other location just up the road. very cute! very cheap! and well worth the stay! 🙃
