This hotel would have been outstanding if they could have got us in are room sooner. We showed up early and asked if our room was ready. Our room was made availible to us only 30mins early. I felt they could have won big points if they would have clean and made it availible sooner. It was wonderful to have acess to all the waterparks. The location and price was wonderful. The neighbor hotels breakfast was just wonderful and it was nice how all hotels welcomed others from other hotels. I feel all hotels invovled in the waterparks and breakfast should also get this this review.

The location is why I rated the hotel good. This hotel has a nice beach and the price is very reasonable. If it didn't have the nice beachfront I would have rated it average. I think they could make the beachfront more inviting with nice chairs and keep it organized. Regarding the rooms I think it would be very easy to make them more inviting with newer bedding. Overall we had a wonderful time in Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island!

The hotel room was nice. Directions to the 2nd floor breakfast room in the Clarion would have been helpful. I also think they should not advertise to have internet services when the services actually are from the Clarion. We had spotty internet connection services. We did like the pool and the splash park.

Very good for the price. Cleanliness was most important and it was clean. Noise level was good, didn't hear neighbors. Nice hot continental breakfast. Would have preferred more protein and some fresh fruit and yogurt as it was full of carbs. Sunday and Tuesday were restocked, the woman working Monday morning was too busy texting to keep it stocked until there were requests and complaints. Love being on the beach, wish there was some type of faucet off the beach to wash off sand rather than bringing into room. Love the large hot tub. Property needs basic maintenance, such as some issues with the small hot tub in temp..too cold one night, too hot the next and something protruding from bottom that needs a cover so no injuries to feet. My toilet needed the handle held down to flush. Really appreciated the fridge, wish there would have been a microwave in the room. Appreciated access to other water parks for a change in scenery. Good deal for price, would stay again.

Everything was great, especially the staff. They helped us with directions to different sights and other questions we had. The room was nice and clean and comfortable.Breakfast was good, but after 4 days of the same eggs, sausage and fruit it got a little tiring. I know there were waffles and other items, but I think maybe having 1 different hot item everyday or every other day may add some spark to the breakfast. Yes, I would stay here again. Thanks, Pam Jerabek

We enjoyed the location, the various water parks available to us, the walking distance to the city and the ferries. We did not enjoy that other residents were feeding the seagulls who then perched on our porch making it messy.The room was clean but seemed very dark and damp. However we would chose to stay there again b/c of the great location. The service was very good too!

Rooms were clean from time we arrived until day we left. Friendly staff comfortable large hot tub and great views of Lake Huron. Free breakfast and proximity to downtown are nice features as well. Stayed there last year when it was the Aqua Grand. Loved it then as well. Will be booking again in the future...has become my go to get away spot. Only draw back was the 3rd floor upstairs no elevator. Lots of steps but wont stop me from staying there again.

Door did not close well. There was a littel concern about all door locks being keyed to open from the outside. Sliding screen on beach side was in bad shape and constantly came off track. Better free wifi would have been nice, it is almost becomeing the standard at motels. Furnishings were new enough and room was clean

My granddaughter loved the Waterpark and the pool! The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful and the room was clean and just right! We had a beachfront room and it was awesome having the beach right at our back door! I liked the easy access to the nearby hotels that shared breakfast areas and their waterparks with the Fairview; and the drive to downtown shops and the boats to Mackinac was easy and short! WE WOULD DEFINITELY STAY AGAIN...IN FACT WE ARE!
