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.

Comfortable & clean
The room was cute and cozy with excellent renovations to the bathroom, a beautiful wood paneled ceiling and nice furnishings with a retro vibe. And the bed was extremely comfortable. The location close to downtown Traverse City was perfect.

The Sierra Motel was an unexpected wonderful destination in Traverse City. It was clean, comfortable and so welcoming. The owners were very accommodating and friendly. It was within walking distance of Front Street with several local restaurants nearby. I will return there in the near future.

The owners were on site and are clearly vested in their motel. The units are nicely remodeled with a retro style. The motel footprint is still the original, the rooms are not huge but offer good value. Parking is at your front door. The location is convenient - less than a mile from downtown Traverse City. The neighborhood was clean and seemed safe. Even though it was on a busy street, the traffic noise was not bad. There are a few restaurants within walking distance.
