Clean, comfortable, and reasonable. The location is very convenient to Silver Lake, sand dunes, state park, shopping, restaurants, lighthouses, etc. This was our first time at Sierra Sands, but we will no doubt be returning. The owner was very helpful and recommended several restaurants and points of interest. He even arranged our Dune Buggy rental, which by the way was worth every penny. So much fun!

We made a spur of the moment trip up north when our previous vacation plans fell through. We stumbled upon this hotel by pure luck. After spending the first 1/2 of our vacation in a not so desirable resort we were genuinely thrilled with the Sierra Sands hotel. By far the cleanest, friendliest and all around best bang for our buck. The staff, especially Katie and Shawn were beyond helpful, courteous and accommodating. The hotel is very well maintained, clean and very welcoming. We will definitely be returning as guests and will highly recommend this location to anyone visiting the area.

Our room was clean and everything worked. My only issue is that if you want coffee, you have to go into the front office area to get it. That is an inconvenience and prefer in room coffee. Otherwise, I would recommend this place. It is very close to many local attractions.

Very clean rooms and public areas, friendly & professional staff members to include the owner who walks around and offers assistance if needed. This is our 2nd time staying here since 2021 and will be returning. Very close to most attractions. Has a heated pool and hot tub.

Well, the lady checking us in was fabulous and the painting on the wall in the room was beautiful. We were in room 104 and it needs a deep cleaning, especially the bathroom-very gross and unacceptable. I let the front desk know how dirty the bathroom was but the person answering didn't seem surprised, nor offer an apology.

Sean and his staff were great. They were very attentive to our request to keep our 5 rooms together and the couple of reserveation changes. We had a family of 10 and everyone enjoyed their stay. The pool, hot tub fire pit and picnic area were great to have and the walk to the "downtown" area was short and very convenient.

My daily stayed 2 nights here and everything was excellent. A very professional and friendly staff and clean rooms which appear to be well maintained. There’s a pool, hot tub and a large area behind the hotel where you can build a fire or just relax with your family. Not many choices to stay in the Silver Lakes area but this one is definitely worth trying.

My family stayed here for 2 nights and it was very pleasant. This location is close to dining and the the town entertainment area. Water front is within walking distance. Boat rentals and dunes motor rental equipment is nearby as well. Very small town so our 2 nights was perfect. Staff was very friendly and grounds were neat. We would stay again.

The Sierra Sands is very convenient if you are in town to drive or hike the sand dunes or use Silver Lake.

But I was most impressed with the owner/manager. He was very responsive and went out of his way to help us out of a jam.

Rooms are clean and nice. We were there in the off season, but the pool looks nice. It looks like it would be fun to hang out by the fire pit near the kids' play-sets out back when there are more people around. I'll be returning in warmer weather.

My family including two little kids had to stay there for two nights because of a disabled vehicle.

I didn't expect much, because we didn't plan to stay there. But I was so surprised to know it was a extremely nice place. The owners was super nice to us and they provided lots of extra help. The hotel is very clean and kids can play at the playground. The location is close to lots of important places to visit.

Because we didn't have a car to drive, we walked to the general store they recommended to buy food. The cheese bread and pizza are so yummy.

Thank you for making our frustrated trip so satisfying.
