Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront Sandra from Ann Arbor stayed in June 2012

It was great to have a suite so that the kids could have their own room and we could have ours. They loved the big flat screen TV's in the room. We liked the coffee maker, microwave, and fridge in our room too. The pool was very nice. Our room was a little bit small and probably had one too many chairs. The breakfast was really good but it would have been nice if yogurt and fresh fruit were available.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Karen from PLEASANT LAKE stayed in June 2012

We have stayed at the Clarion several times. We chose it over the others due to the fact we can get the two room suites. The bathrooms are large and the room accommodates our large gang. We get a reasonable rate also. I noticed that the rms with 2 queens are really large, I would like to see you have adjoining rms with 2 queens then we would have 2 bathrooms also.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Chris from Lansing stayed in June 2012

The hotel was wonderful. I made two phone calls with quick questions prior to my stay and the hotel rep was a little breaf on their answer but my question was answered. Then we arrived and had the best room! Really lovely and the hotel staff went out of their way to take care of anything we needed! The breakfast bar was pleasant except for the sausage??? Not sure about that! But my family loved our stay and I hope to return to this hotel many times again. It is our NEW favorite place to go!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Kevin from Muskegon stayed in June 2012

The room was clean and much nicer than what we anticipated. I've paid twice as much for a room that was not half as nice. We had a beautiful view of the lake and bridge...AWESOME. The breakfast was the best free breakfast that we ever had!!! This was, BY FAR, the best value that we've ever had! WE'LL BE BACK!!!

The location on the beach was wonderful, rooms were veer nice, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We received a ton of value for the price we paid.

Actually, outstanding for the price. Outstanding is the Ritz Carlton in Beijing. Loved the breakfast and the waterfront room. Central air would raise the rating. I would stay here next time.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront CASIMER from Lincoln Park stayed in June 2010

Our stay was very nice at the Clarion. We (My wife, 2 children, and I) arrived a little before normal check in, about 11:00 A.M. but were given a very nice room with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. The room was a little older but clean, and the vaulted ceilings gave the feeling of being in a much larger hotel room. My family and I will stay there again, on our next visit to Mackinaw City.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Lynne from Jackson stayed in May 2012

The Clarion Hotel in Mackinaw City made my stay there that much more enjoyable. My lakefront room on the first floor was wondeful! In the morning I enjoyed drinking my coffee and looking over the beach and across the horizon. The room was pristine and the decor was lovely. As an added bonus feature, there was an updated LG tv in the room.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Barbara from Sault Ste. Marie stayed in May 2012

There was a mixup with the suite I booked but the hotel was kind enough to give us an upgrade at a reduced rate. They were very helpful in letting us know what was available to do in the area and where we could get discounts. For a suite though, I felt it should have had a larger fridge and perhaps a larger common area.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Michael/Kathryn from Ann Arbor stayed in May 2012

We were impressed with the hotel itself and with the front desk staff, who provided us with extra coffee for our room and explained their efforts to clean up the midges (little insects) that had hatched a few days previous--just one of the issues that a beachfront hotel copes with in spring. Balcony over the beach was great, in spite of the midges.

This is the second year we've stayed at the Clarion. The beds are very comfortable, the rooms are clean, and the service has been consistantly good. The breakfast is only so-so, but the overall experience is excellent.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Cindy from Milford stayed in April 2012

Room was nice. But we picked a balcony room for privacy and got a 1st floor "balcony" with people walking right up to it from the beach. Otherwise, nice stay.

The staff takes very good care of us. The rooms are clean and well lit. The beds are comfortable as our the pillows. If there is any problem with the room, it is taken care of immediately. The breakfast is more than adequate and hot and cold as it should be. We just haven't found another hotel in Mac City that we like as well. Nancy Galloway

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Kerri from Lansing stayed in October 2011

The rms are some of the coziest we've stayed in. We stayed 3 nights, this time. Been at Clarions several times. It seems only fair that if you stay 3 night (the norm is one for travelers), that the hotel could give those staying (1) dinner voucher. Other suggestions: 1) a more complete DVD collection 2) the bathroom floors are very cold!
