The rooms were spacious and clean. The view was magnificent. The staff was very helpful in providing us with room changes when the room we booked was not quite right (description online was lacking details that would have changed our preference)

The room was very nice and the staff was wonderful. The drawback is the breakfast. It was like a feeding frenzy with too many children running around screaming and/ or crying. Food all over the floor and the hot food was not very good. We went somewhere else for breakfast each morning.

Everything was as expected, clean, plenty of room in our choice. The only issue was that the sun set on the side of the hotel where we stayed and it took a while for the room to cool when we arrived because the air conditioner was not turned on. Also the next day when we came back to the room the curtains were drwn, the air conditioner was off and again it took some time to cool the room. I called the front desk and asked that they not turn the air off anymore and they complied. Hot tub is huge two people fit with room to spare so that is nice. You can say the hotel is out dated, but it is in good condition and clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Would recommend this hotel to anyone heading to Mackinaw.

It was great to have a suite so that the kids could have their own room and we could have ours. They loved the big flat screen TV's in the room. We liked the coffee maker, microwave, and fridge in our room too. The pool was very nice. Our room was a little bit small and probably had one too many chairs. The breakfast was really good but it would have been nice if yogurt and fresh fruit were available.

We have stayed at the Clarion several times. We chose it over the others due to the fact we can get the two room suites. The bathrooms are large and the room accommodates our large gang. We get a reasonable rate also. I noticed that the rms with 2 queens are really large, I would like to see you have adjoining rms with 2 queens then we would have 2 bathrooms also.

The hotel was wonderful. I made two phone calls with quick questions prior to my stay and the hotel rep was a little breaf on their answer but my question was answered. Then we arrived and had the best room! Really lovely and the hotel staff went out of their way to take care of anything we needed! The breakfast bar was pleasant except for the sausage??? Not sure about that! But my family loved our stay and I hope to return to this hotel many times again. It is our NEW favorite place to go!

The room was clean and much nicer than what we anticipated. I've paid twice as much for a room that was not half as nice. We had a beautiful view of the lake and bridge...AWESOME. The breakfast was the best free breakfast that we ever had!!! This was, BY FAR, the best value that we've ever had! WE'LL BE BACK!!!

Our stay was very nice at the Clarion. We (My wife, 2 children, and I) arrived a little before normal check in, about 11:00 A.M. but were given a very nice room with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. The room was a little older but clean, and the vaulted ceilings gave the feeling of being in a much larger hotel room. My family and I will stay there again, on our next visit to Mackinaw City.

The Clarion Hotel in Mackinaw City made my stay there that much more enjoyable. My lakefront room on the first floor was wondeful! In the morning I enjoyed drinking my coffee and looking over the beach and across the horizon. The room was pristine and the decor was lovely. As an added bonus feature, there was an updated LG tv in the room.

From the time we checked in , we felt welcome. The lobby staff were very friendly and helpful. Our check-in included many coupons which we were able to use, including one for a ferry trip over to the island! We were fortunate enough to enjoy a two room suite.The rooms were exceptionally clean and the beds were comfortable, not to mention that there were FOUR pillows on each bed and extra blankets available in our room.We were never up early enough to enjoy the breakfast buffet but that option was definitely a plus.The rates were very affordable. We will stay at The Clarion each time we return to Mackinaw, if we are not camping. Thank you for a very comfortable stay!!

There was a mixup with the suite I booked but the hotel was kind enough to give us an upgrade at a reduced rate. They were very helpful in letting us know what was available to do in the area and where we could get discounts. For a suite though, I felt it should have had a larger fridge and perhaps a larger common area.

We were impressed with the hotel itself and with the front desk staff, who provided us with extra coffee for our room and explained their efforts to clean up the midges (little insects) that had hatched a few days previous--just one of the issues that a beachfront hotel copes with in spring. Balcony over the beach was great, in spite of the midges.
