It’s an older property so some of that is evident, but the owners have done SUCH a cute job renovating and updating this place and you can feel the heart in it! It feels very upscale and we felt well taken care of. Clean and comfy accommodations with cute details and beautiful spaces outside to enjoy. Incredibly kind staff and easy parking! Would stay again if in the area!

Great management that was very helpful and courteous. Cute rooms with fun retro vibe that were very clean. A little bit of road noise but not anything that really bothered me. This spot is very convenient to downtown Traverse City and Old Mission Peninsula. It had good parking, was safe, and was dog friendly.

As we turned off Munson Avenue into the Sierra Motel's parking lot, I couldn't help but imagine cruising in a classic '59 Chevy Corvette or a '65 Ford Mustang Convertible! The Sierra Motel, which opened its doors in 1957, exudes delightful mid-century charm that really grabbed us. Owners Barrett and Andrea, who have relocated from Napa Valley, have meticulously updated the motel. Our stay featured a luxurious king-size bed, high-quality furniture and fixtures that reflect the quintessential Mid-Century Modern style, and a well-appointed bathroom with stunning tile work. The era-appropriate paint schemes, both inside and out, added to the overall "cool" vibe of the place. We are eagerly looking forward to our next visit!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay and the owners were very nice and gracious. Our only discomfort was that the beds were quite firm and we are soft mattress people.

Room would be better suited with one bed and a small sleeper sofa. Nice style but room was too cramped. Mattress was hard. Owners tried to be accommodating.

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!
