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.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Samuel from Parkesburg stayed in September 2013

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 Craig from Gibsonia stayed in September 2013

The front desk staff were very helpful and cheerful, and our room was clean and sufficient. The breakfast was a bit lack luster, but we appreciated it being included in the price of our room.

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!!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront Jenny from Rice Lake stayed in August 2013

Buffett was excellent as were the staff that ran it. Pool is poor but the ability to go to the other indoor waterparks made that acceptable. The lake beach area was nice and you can walk out for a long while. Desk staff were helpful. Rooms were clean. The elevator/stair situation is difficult to figure out and no matter what in the lake view section you have to do stairs which is a problem with luggage. Air conditioning quit working one day but it was fixed within a half hour- very responsive to needs.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Ron from Sault Ste. Marie stayed in August 2013

No complaints. We have stayed at the Clarion twice now and will probably be back. Our stays are not long, so I guess we don`t put the staff to The Test, lol, but the hotel provides a good bed, cleanliness, nice TV and channel selection...things are they should be. Mackinaw merchants are nice, Clarion included. My wife and I love it, and we will be back because of its happy and relaxed vibe. Four stars that could be five, really. Please pass along our thanks to the folks at the Clarion, and please know they aren`t the only area merchants doing the City proud with a truly welcoming attitude.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Susan from Redford stayed in August 2013

The only reason I did not rate five stars was due to all the stairs to get to and from room. Not having an elevator in each wing as well as the only elevator only going to floor 3 when there are four floors was exhausting. But otherwise was an excellent stay.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Dennis from Toledo stayed in July 2013

The Clarion Hotel had perfect location right on the beach. We loved the pool area and the very large hot tub, too. The fact that our stay here allowed us to use the facilities at two different water parks was another plus. We had a suite that boasted a lakefront view. it was a lovely room with a great view! The breakfast had a good variety, and the fact that it was included in the price of our stay was a nice perk.
