Clarion Hotel Beachfront Bruce from Sault Ste Marie stayed in June 2011

Very good. The rooms were large and clean. The furniture could be updated. Breakfast area was large and bright. We stayed on the lake side. They have a window high up on the wall looking over the beach. I would suggest they put a curtain or shutters over it. Woke us up at 5:30a.m.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Susan from Princeton stayed in May 2011

We have stayed here almost every year for the past five years. We choose this hotel because the staff if warm and caring, the location is close to the ferry, and the breakfast is great. We have always had well kept and clean rooms. We will definately stay there the next time.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Sheila from Novi stayed in May 2011

Not the hotel's fault, but it was the weekend that all the gnats hatched and we could not go out on our balcony (which we specifically booked so we could sit on it and view the water) because they were everywhere! Otherwise, it was very nice and the staff were very pleasant.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Nancy from Novi stayed in April 2011

Clarion was not able to open in time and did a wonderful job finding us two rooms at the Comfort Inns and Suites. We were very satisfied with our rooms and the service at the Comfort Inns and Suites. We plan to go back to the Clarion again next time

Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront Jackie from Redford stayed in May 2011

We had a good experience at the Clarion. The front desk was friendly. The room was OK, your average hotel room. The first thing I did was check for bed bugs. Mattresses were clean as a whistle. I have 5 kids, so we had to have place for 7. It was great that they had ONE room to fit all of us! It is expensive to pay for two rooms just for our family, which is what I have had to do in the past, or pay extra for a "suite" that will fit us which ends up being almost the same price as two rooms. We would stay here again.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Sue from Portage stayed in March 2011

My daughter and I shared a large, beautiful and clean room on our way to Marquette and on our return trip. We found the staff to be extremely cordial and helpful. The morning buffet was excellent as well. We enjoyed our stay despite the fact the town was pretty much 'closed.' We also had wonderful food at a recommended restaurant.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Neha from Sterling Heights stayed in February 2011

The hotel was still undergoing construction and not ready to be opened, so they arranged for our stay at neighboring hotel (Hamilton Inn) and paid for the difference in price so that we could keep the same type of room. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return during the summer season.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Ralf from Clarksville stayed in September 2010

We liked staying at the Clarion Hotel. The outstanding breakfast, and the view from our balcony was breath taking. The only thing that was not pleasant was, going outside in the freezing rain to get to the pool area. There is plenty of room to make a in-closed walkway to the pool area.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront Sandi from MIlwaukee stayed in September 2010

The room was comfortable and clean,and the balcony view great. The room was quiet, we did not hear any outside noise. My only criticism would be to have the extremely large TV cabinet on the wall opposite the sofa instead of the beds. It would have been nice if the elevator actually let you off on your floor - you should advertise that it's limited elevator access and that you will still have to go up and down a set of stairs.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Robert from Shelby stayed in September 2010

John helped us out so much with changing rooms, recommending a restaurant, etc. Got the price on the internet and it was honored at the motel. He was very good. Rooms were clean. We had one problem with TV and it was taken care of immediately. Breakfast was the best! One thing we did not like was the cancellation policy. Most motels have a 24 hr. in advance notice with no charge. This motel was 3 day.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Karen from Downers Grove stayed in September 2010

Enjoyed out stay at the Clarion. The room was nice and very clean. The breakfast bar should offer some healthier alternatives such as yougurt, fresh fruits, and fruit toppings for waffles. It was a little noisy when large groups were bused in to stay at the hotel.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Robert from Flint stayed in September 2010

The staff at the hotel was very friendly and helpful. The room was fantastic as we were traveling with our two children. The rooms were very spacious and gave us room to do our own thing. I will stay here again next year. The only problem I had was the pool is in a seperate building, but the rates were worht the inconvienence.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Filis from Franklin stayed in August 2010

We stayed at the Clarion at the end of August 2010 with our 2 young children. The hotel was clean and service was good. We used the indoor pool and it was nice. The water was brown in the lake probably from the island boats so we did not swim in the lake. It was nice having breakfast at the hotel.
