My stay at the Sierra Motel was a delightful experience. It felt nostalgic yet well-maintained, and the staff's friendliness truly stood out. The rooms offered comfort with all necessary amenities, and I appreciated the personal touches provided by the owners. The only downside was that the motel's dated appearance might not appeal to everyone, but it was clean and functional. Overall, it was excellent value for money.

My stay was decent overall. The room was clean and had some nice updates, but the noisy road outside made it hard to relax. I had a pleasant interaction with the staff, who were eager to help, but some aspects like the bedspreads need improvement. The pricing was great, especially for the area, which added to the value of my stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this motel! The rooms were exceptionally clean and surprisingly spacious, especially for a smaller room. The owner and staff were genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home. We loved the in-room coffee maker and the complimentary muffins in the office. The only downsides were that it doesn't offer some amenities you might find in larger hotels, but for the price, it’s a fantastic find in Traverse City.

I had a great time at Sierra Motel! The retro charm and the thoughtful renovations made it a unique place to stay. My room was spotless and quite comfortable, perfect for my motorcycle trip. The hosts were incredibly responsive and provided helpful tips for my travels. It's a great value with reasonable rates, but the vintage feel may not be for everyone.

I had a wonderful stay at this vintage motel! It was exceptionally clean and well-kept, with a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The breakfast options of coffee, juice, and muffins were a nice touch to start the day. The staff was super friendly and attentive, although it was a bit of a walk up to the second floor since there’s no elevator. Overall, it was a great value for the money and I would definitely stay here again.
