Rooms have coffee, mini-fridge and microwave. Continental breakfast in the morning and hot coffee all day, though there are plenty of places to eat withon strolling/biking... More

Warm and friendly. Great location to downtown Silver Lake and surrounding towns. They made a few suggestions that we took them up on and couldn't have been happier. We will be sure to return again and again.

Stayed at Sierra Sands Hotel during Memorial weekend 2013. The hotel is family owned and run which gives it a very warm and personal experience. The room was clean, cozy and comfortable and even came with a small fridge to keep our left over pizza from "The pizza factory" which has some of the best pizza i've had ( i've... More

We stayed here one night in June, we were driving up the coast and just happened upon this spot. The staff member that checked us in was really helpful and gave us a lot of recommendations on how to spend our time in the area in the morning. They set us up with a Razor J's Sand Dune experience and... More

Was photographing the last of the fall color in the Hart, MI area, but there was a massive low pressure storm with lots of rain for a few days. Checked out early Sat. a.m. from another area motel, ready to make the drive back to Chicago when the rain began to unexpectedly clear on 10/20/12. So at about 10 am... More

We went here (2 families) and decided to come back next year as soon as we parked our car. From the entrance all the way to their BBQ yard at the back is very relaxing. The staff are very helpful and courteous. Coffee and Tea are a plus (almost all day fresh). Rooms are are exceptionally clean like a 5... More

The lodge staff were rude, offensive, and treated my friend and me--hard-working, young professionals in our 30's who traveled to Silver Lake for a relaxing weekend--like we were hooligans. Additionally, I would not recommend the place to families looking for a quiet, kids-friendly respite due to the large number of young revelers hanging out in the parking lot and drinking... More

This past weekend was the worst I have been treated by a hotel in a very long time. After 1 night (that of course they insisted I pre-pay for) we received a call that my girlfriend's grandmother was dying.

We would like thank this guest for his feedback, it is important as a small business is to listen when guests are not satisfied with their experience. This guest is correct in his recount of our payment policy at check in as well as our $50 early departure fee. While we would never question a guests reason for requiring an... More
