We loved this well decorated motel. Absolute best customer service. We walked to a concert at the Dennos Museum center. We walked to the cottage Inn for breakfast. And then we enjoyed a bike ride on the complementary hotel bikes. It was the most amazing stay!!!

Beautiful spot on a busy but central location. Loved the design of the space and the staff was SO friendly. Everything was incredibly clean and the rooms were actually quite spacious. The only drawback is the air-conditioning...I found it incredibly loud, though my boyfriend slept right through it. I'll definitely be staying again, but I will be bringing ear plugs - this place is too cute to NOT stay at again!

Wonderful revival of a classic mid century roadside motel! Nicely appointed with well curated or quality reproduction pieces. The owner/operator is totally committed to making sure your stay is enjoyable. The bathroom (in #110) was a bit tight and would have benefited from a borrowed couple of feet from the bedroom to give a bit more space in front of the shower.

Loved the retro decor and attention to detail. Appreciated bedside tables on either side of bed, as CPAP users it makes life so much easier. Also access to outlets and charging ports on either side of bed was great. The staff were most helpful when we had to check in much later than anticipated. Loved the outside appt earache as well.

The Sierra Motel was amazing. We were able to check in early and get on our way to explore Traverse City and the coastline. The rooms were very nice and you could tell they do a great job of keeping everything up to date. The retro style was fun too.
