Sierra Sands At the Dunes

Clean.
Cheap.
Fri & Sat nights w/​2 queen beds $ 136 total.
We arrived late & they left our keys in our rooms & unlocked, & we checked in the next morning, it was very convenient.
The rooms were very clean with all the amenities including: mini fridge, microwave, small table w/​chairs, tv & a.c.
The only issue I heard of was with another group that was with us. They said they had an extra kid that they were just sneaking into the room, but front desk at check-​in said they saw on the video camera that extra kid & charged them more.
The staff was friendly & helpful.
There was also an outside pool & hot tub. Pool was closed but there were some older gentlemen in the hot tub.
Very nice place, will def stay here again on a trip to the Silverlake Sand dunes

Love this place. Come back almost every year. Lovingly cared for by family owners.

What a pleasant place to stay. The hotel is very well kept and is just on the fringes of «downtown» mears. So you’re far enough away from the touristy parts of Silver lake, but you’re definitely close enough to make it downtown in a short walk. My only qualm is that the place uses well water– just a minor inconvenience. But then again, what do you expect for a small town in northern michigan.
On a side note, if you’re going to ride dune buggies, drive further into town. There are a few more places that rent out Dune buggies other than Wild Bill’s which is located adjacent to this hotel. Poor experience with Wild Bill’s, but that’s a review that doesn’t belong here.
Overall, Sierra Sands is a great place to stay. Always packed and super nice service. Great!
