This place was so cool. The recent renovations making the place feel like you're stepping into the 1950s was done perfectly. The staff found out it was our anniversary and there was a bottle of champagne waiting in our room. They went above and beyond for sure!!

Great little motel!
Great little motel! The location was perfect, easy to get into & out of without having to go through the heart of TC, walkable to town, food and activities. The owners were always available, friendly & helpful, and the grounds and rooms were not only adorable, but clean and very well kept. Highly recommend!

Beautiful motel! Owner was very nice and made sure everything in the room was perfect before handing over the keys. The motel had a cool retro vibe and was very comfy and spacious. Will 100% choose this place when coming back to Traverse City.

We had a great stay at the Sierra! My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. It’s in a great location, we were able to check in hours early, and everything was so clean. They were also so helpful with recommendations for restaurants. We all couldn’t have been happier with our stay!

Fab Reno’s mid-mod hotel. Family-owned, the owner Barrett met me on check-in. He clearly cares very much for the hotel and guest experience. This will definitely be my landing spot in Traverse City on future trips!

Excellent stay
This motel is located perfectly for convenience to the city, the wineries and the water. The room was spotlessly clean with everything in it all shiny and new. The owners are on site and are very helpful with anything you may need. I stayed with my dog for a small fee and appreciated that they don't discriminate against big dogs as most places do. I would absolutely recommend this motel.

We loved the care that went into redoing this old style motel. The retro and artisitc touches were great, from the bathroom fixtures to the Bauhaus poster on the wall. The owners could not have been more pleasant, or more helpful. The bath room is mall, but very clean and functional. The beds were great. We cannot give this motel enough superlatives! Definitely will stay there again. Great value for the price.
