We had a quick trip to town for an appointment and we love this place. Cute, cozy and convenient. Need to take care or some leftover leaves and snow build-up on the covered porch/sidewalk areas by the front doors, but understand the weather issues.

The Sierra is such a groovy little motel. The decor is retro and so cool - great colors and vibe! Our room was spotless and had every convenience we needed - including a mini frig. The location is awesome - we walked everywhere. The owners were so kind and had our room ready in a jiffy. We would not hesitate to stay here again!
