Absolutely wonderful
I’m usually hesitant to stay at motels, but I see by the photos and pictures of the owners that a lot of love had gone into it. It was even better than I had hoped. The owner was so hospitable and my experience couldn’t have been better.

Ten Stars!!!
This is our second time staying at the Sierra and we absolutely loved our time here, Whats funny is that across the street from the hotel are some big-box chain hotels and we both asked ourselves why anyone would want to stay at those places when there is such a cozy, comfy, original and more local option just across the street at the Sierra. Regardless, we could not recommend the Sierra more, The team there is attentive and kind, and makes you feel at home. The decor is chic and timeless. Our fur babies also loved their time there and said we need to come back soon!!

Traverse City Gem
Came across this place as part of a larger trip to and from the East Coast. It was the design aesthetic that caught my eye as well as the price -- and it did not disappoint. Super friendly owner, comfortable beds and minutes from the heart of TC so it was quiet without being disruptive to our rest. Would 100% stay here again.

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!

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!

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!
