Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront Vernal from Atlanta stayed in June 2010

It was an O.k. hotel. It seemed kept up and clean, however I feel it needs some updating. The room we stayed in had an odd entry and we needed to take stairs as there wasn't elevator access. This could be a problem for older guests. The Hotel is conviently located.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Kathryn from Palm Beach Gardens stayed in June 2010

Very nice, clean in appearance, with comfortable bed. Wireless internet was down while I was there. Not very handicap friendly as there was considerable amount of walking to the breakfast room. Overall our stay was very reasonable and pleasant.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Carolyn from Sterling Hts stayed in June 2010

The room was clean and the rate was fair. The breakfast area was very good. The only negative was the lady that checked us out was snippy and although I was the only person in the lobby at the time she acted as if I was bothering her and of course she never asked how the stay was or anything at all. I would recommend the hotel and would stay there again.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Leon from Ontonagon stayed in May 2010

The room was beautiful, the service was excellent, breakfast was great as well. The only thing we did not like was the fact that we had to go outside to get to the pool or to the breakfast area. When we were there, it was chilly and wet, and it would have been nice for the kids to be able to swim and go for breakfast without having to walk through cold rain to get to both places. On a beautiful summer day, it probably would be nice to get outside, but in the spring, that was the difference between "good" and being "outstanding".

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Cecilia from Shelby Twp stayed in May 2010

The hotel was nice, convenient just to walk to the ferry. Beautiful vieew overlooking the lake. Could have a little more to offer for breakfast. Was a little disappointed not knowing there were stairs involved to get to our room. Carrying luggage up and down stairs is not easy especcially when a person has a little trouble with stairs. There was never any mention in your ads stating there were stairs.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Jerry from Sterling Heights stayed in May 2010

Room was clean and well appointed. Management was attentive. Pool water was cool and manager addressed issue promptly. We estimate this was our 32nd trip to Mackinaw. We have stayed at nearly every motel and the Clarion is one of the better ones with an older, but large deep-water pool. Proximity to Arnold's launch is a plus. Jerry & Dianne Owczarzak

Clarion Hotel Beachfront BARBARA from NORRIDGE stayed in October 2009

I was a little disappointed in the free breakfast, was expecting more of a full buffet. Anyway, other than that it was fine. I accidentally left a really nice robe on the back of the bathroom door, and they returned it by mail. I did not expect to see it again, so I was very happy to get it back. Thank you. Barb

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Maria from Robbinsdale stayed in September 2009

Nice clean rooms. The only downfall is that the pool is not attached. Otherwise location was good and beach looked nice to swim from. It was very cold when we were there so wasn't able to check out the water. Would recommend and stay here again.

The hotel was much more comfortable than the one we stayed at on the island. Staff was friendly but the parking lot was a bit tight. Good breakfast. Overall, we'd stay again.

The room was clean and the service was very good. I didn't like the fact that we had to go outside to the pool and the breakfast room since it was rather cool that day. Everything was in order and ready when we arrived and we appreciated that greatly.

We enjoyed everything. The man at the front desk gave us a better room than originally planned and was very helpful with information about the ferry lines, including a discount coupon Our room was clean and breakfast was very good. Four waffle irons - great thinking! We'll come back.

The good rating for the Clarion Hotel Beachfront means it is what I expected from a tourist area hotel. It did not go "above and beyond" what was expected. It was above average but not exceptional.

We loved the room and view. The staff was very friendly and attended to all of our needs. The only concern was no elevator going to the floor we were on. We had to carry our luggage up stairs. That was not convient at all.

The staff was friendly, the room was clean and breakfast was more than we expected! Our room was also comfortable for our family. Having seperate beds for our children was definite plue. This was just an overnight stop for us this trip but we are thinking about making Mackinaw City our destination for a future vacation and will likely stay at the Clarion.

Hotel room was very clean and nice view. It was really nice to be within walking distance from town yet having a little privacy. The package wasn't really that beneficial and wasn't much of a savings. It was nice to have everything pre-paid though.
