We Had a Great Stay but a Few Flaws That Were Taken Care of

Traveler Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront #14468 stayed May 2018. Michael from Lansing

We had a great stay but a few flaws that were taken care of. We got a room on the second floor and the doors were covered in flies so went back to the office and she moved us to the fourth floor. We asked if there was an elevator and she said no, so we walked the steps up to the top floor. No flies and nice room with great view, but on our way down the stairs we see an elevator on the corner of the hallway. Geez we are old people she could of told us there was an elevator or maybe she didn't know. The rooms were clean and nice with great view of the water.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront #14073 stayed October 2017. Lester from Watervliet

Very good stay with only a couple of minor problems. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was very good. The room was very clean and well furnished. Bed was comfortable. The buffet breakfast was very good.The room was quiet with no outside noise except for being on the ground floor and we could hear people walking in the room above us but they retired early and it wasn't a problem. The minor problems was the door didn't close smoothly and needed attention. The bathroom exhaust fan was very noisy. The stair well could use a good cleaning.

The Breakfast Was Exceptional

Traveler Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront #13952 stayed September 2017. Bob from Norton Shores

The breakfast was exceptional. Best ever. The one problem we had was that the tub was too deep and my wife did not feel comfortable getting in for a shower. We are an older couple. We thought that the breakfast room was way too far away to get to in comparison to the room we had. it was raining and that made it even more Iinconvenient. We would recommend the Clarion even with these inconveniences.

Very clean and perfect location. Nice towels and bedding. Front desk very nice and accommodating. We had a lot of totes (traveling in a truck so everything has to go into a waterproof tote) and they switched us to a first floor room so we would not have to haul everything to the other floors.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront #13538 stayed July 2017. Sarah from Avon Lake

We stayed at the clarion beachfront hotel for 4 nights. The wait staff are very friendly and helpful. For a hotel breakfast it was pretty decent, although the exact same things were offered each day. We had a suite with a king bed and 2 queens. The room was spacious enough for 4 adults and 2 children. It was suffientiantly cleaned, although it could use a little updating. It was always quiet in our room although we were there for a busy weekend. The pool area was very clean and my children loved the pool ( we often during the day had it to ourselves). We also visited a neighboring properties water park ( you gain access by staying at clarion) and my children had a blast. Overall, I would say for a family vacation this was a good hotel, if your looking for a romantic escape I wouldn't suggest it.

Overall, we had a nice stay. We did not spend much time in the hotel, but it provided everything that we needed during our time there. The room was clean, the bathroom was average, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The only major complaint was the internet connection was very weak in the room and did not always work.
