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

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.

We Stayed at the Clarion Beachfront Hotel for 4 Nights

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.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront #13468 stayed July 2017. Andrew from Fowlerville

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.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront #13048 stayed June 2017. Martha from Grand Rapids

We were very pleased with the Clarion. We liked the location because we could walk or bike to the ferry docks. Our kids spent hours in Clarion's pool and Choice's water park. Our room was just the right size for our family of 5 and the Lake view was beautiful throughout the day and evening. Housekeeping was excellent and the desk staff provided helpful assistance with our trip package. The breakfast bar was a delicious and energizing start to each day. We will definitely return to Mackinaw City and the Clarion Hotel. It was our kids first time to Mackinaw and it won't be the last.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront #12898 stayed June 2017. Mark from Lowell

I love staying at the Clarion in Mackinaw City because it's right next to the dock for the Star line ferry. I always get a room with a lakeside view, relax on the balcony, get up in the morning and catch a ride to the island. I also love the convienence of booking everything through the Chamber of Commerce, arrive at the hotel and the staff has everything ready and away we go.
