Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront Melissa from Pleasant Lake stayed in January 2014

The only thing I did not like was that I booked for the clarion and then was moved to a different hotel, which was an awesome hotel and I was okay with that, just if they are not open don't allow us to book them, just show the hotels that are open.

The hotel upgraded us free of charge, and we had a wonderful suite. The location was very convenient, being right next to the Arnold Line.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Donna from South Bend stayed in October 2013

Excellent accommodations and staff. We had been assigned a room on an upper floor, but when we expressed concern about hauling our suitcases up the stairs (no elevator in this particular building), the desk clerk willingly reassigned us to a main-floor room. In fact, we didn't even need to request it; he suggested it himself. Nice coffee/lounge room where we could meet with friends. Great breakfast buffet, too!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront Susan from Lake Ann stayed in October 2013

The room was nice and had what we expected with the jacuzzi tub. I feel the room was clean and well maintained. The breakfast bar was not as nice as expected but perhaps it was due to all the people that were there. It was a large spacious area but there wasn't anyone checking tables to clean them up or keep the serving areas clean. Close to the dock for our trip to the island and the overall hotel was pleasant and comfortable.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront JILL from Vermontville stayed in October 2013

Check-in was easy and staff was friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Tile floor in bathroom area was very slippery, especially with stockings on your feet. Bins of used bedding outside near the office when we checked in were unattractive. They were still there in the morning. The hot breakfast bar and the dining area were especially nice.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront James from Deckerville stayed in September 2013

Liked the size of the room and the view. It was clean. It would be good to have coffee cups for the coffee at the breakfast buffet instead of juice cups. Would probably stay there again.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Christine from Amherst stayed in September 2013

The room was clean and well appointed. The staff was helpful and courteous and offered information that we did not have in order to make our stay pleasurable. The breakfast bar was a welcomed amenity and provided an excellent hot breakfast for hotel guests. Over all, a wonderful getaway. I would reserve a room at the Clarion without hesitation.

Absolutely top quality! Staff wonderful and helpful. Breakfast "out of sight"! Clean, on the outskirts of town- away from the crowds. Lakeview room with balcony was fantastic with a reasonable price. We're going again next Fall!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront pamela from Las Vegas stayed in September 2013

Hotel we actually stayed at was the Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront. The rooms were clean the service was quick and prompt, breakfast was good. The 2 bedroom suites are all courtside and that was the only negative as we could not look out on the water from our rooms. The prices were great for the 2 bedroom suites.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront JOHN from CREST HILL stayed in September 2013

Everything was fine at this hotel except the amount of stairs getting to the rooms even when using the elevators. It would be a major problem for anyone with bad knees or heart problems and I think it should never be recommended to senior citizens.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Debra from Toledo stayed in August 2013

VERY CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE. THE VIEW AND BEACH WERE SPECTACULAR. BREAKFAST WAS OK. THE ONLY DOWNFALL WAS NO PAY PER VIEW MOVIES AND THE STEPS TO GET TO THE FOURTH FLOOR LEVEL WERE WEIRD. NO ELEVATOR STRAIGHT TO THE FOURTH FLOOR. ALL IN ALL I WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN. THE STAFF WERE VERY HELPFUL AND ACCOMMODATING.

This hotel was fantastic! We had such a good time!! The hotel was wonderful from the location, check in, the room itself, the breakfast and the check out! We will be back as my grandchildren feel we should come every year and I agree. We will try to make this a yearly trip and will definitely book through the Chamber and will stay again at the Clarion. Thanks so much for everything!!
