The owners went above and beyond with their motel. Charging for electronic devices, nicely renovated rooms/bathrooms in mid century style, free parking, pet friendly, coffeemaker, fridge - very pleasant stay. We spent two nights and can only recommend Sierra Motel.

Great for our quick trip to TC

Was a great place for our short stay with a pet. It’s obvious lots of hard work went into the updates and details of this motel. Super cute and fun retro decor. Extremely clean room and linens. Very comfortable bed (but wished I had brought a pillow, those only get 2-stars). Wonderfully quiet for relaxing and resting (thick walls and door, I am a light sleeper and I heard nothing outside). Such very nice owners and so accommodating. Would definitely love to stay here again.

Really cute motel. We couldn't hear anybody else from the room we had in the corner. It wasn't an issue for us but the ice machine is in the lobby and the lobby was closed most of the time we were there so definitely plan for that if you need ice. Close to beaches, very walkable area. Owners were very friendly. We would definitely stay again!
