Old motel, clean. Could use a room light other than the little ones on the night stand. Being the only one at this motel out in the middle of nowhere did give a Rod Serling type vibe to the place.

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.

This hotel is just like I remember hotels in the 70's when i was a kid! It is so cute, comfortable and clean! The bar down the street has amazing steaks! This is a very small town, with just the one bar with food, but very quaint. Everyone here is so friendly. We would definitely recommend it!

It's an affordable and comfortable place to stay. Despite a glitch with Expedia's system, the staff communicated with me about my options and ultimately, I got a great night of sleep!

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.
