We enjoyed a wonderful stay and the owners were very nice and gracious. Our only discomfort was that the beds were quite firm and we are soft mattress people.

Room would be better suited with one bed and a small sleeper sofa. Nice style but room was too cramped. Mattress was hard. Owners tried to be accommodating.

Charming, clean, close to town and right off bike trail. The owners Barrett and Andrea are very friendly and accomodating, and provide a fun mid-century modern experience. Highly recommend seeing Traverse city by bike, and you can rent them at the motel!

It’s a motel, and so the rooms are small with basic amenities, and open to the parking lot. That said, it provides everything you need, it is clean and well maintained, and the responsiveness to requests (extra pillows or coffee) was rapid and pleasant. The location is great. The rooms are bright and decorated in a charming aesthetic maintained in every detail throughout the interior and exterior of the units. Many features seemed new (mattresses, bathroom fixtures, light fixtures). Special call out to the full length mirror and waterfall shower head! This was a perfect place for our short stay in Traverse City.

Nice place to stay.
Motel was nice and very clean and comfortable. Road noise was not too bad seeing that it is right the road. Average cost for the area. I would stay there again.

Stay at the Sierra!
We loved our stay! The owners have taken the great bones of this motel and renovated it into my childhood memories! It is adorable. We loved the retro vibe and how comfortable and cozy it was. We have stayed in amazing resorts, rental properties and hotels. But this sweet motel, we commented several times on how perfect it was. Super clean!!! If you are looking for a place to sleep and mostly out and about during the day in Traverse, check out the Sierra!

The manager welcomed us to the property, provided bottled water and personally inspected our room before we occupied it. The room was small but exceptionally clean. The bathroom had modern fixtures and the bed was comfortable. Perfect for our short visit to Traverse City.

I liked the modern movement furnishings and music of the era at the front desk. I didn't like the traffic noise and had to keep my windows closed even on the nice nights.
