Clarion Hotel Beachfront JAY from Oakland stayed in July 2010

The rooms were clean and quiet. the location and price of the rooms was affordable in this present-day economy. the rooms were close to major attractions but far enough away to lend itself to a quiet, atmosphere. The front desk personnal were friendly and very helpful in helping us find our way around with recommending places to eat, etc. We would recommend this hotel for other quests and we plan to stay there, during any other future vacations to Mackinaw City. the Verrans

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Elaine from Fenton stayed in August 2010

We enjoyed our stay at the Clarion Beachfront and felt it a good value. Staff were even willing to give us an additional night at the special internet rate I had found if we had decided to extend our trip. Everyone was friendly and the amenities were on par with other area hotels.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Gayle from Monroe stayed in August 2010

I was extremely impressed with the room and view. I was able to see Lk.Huron from my balcony which was an unexpected treat and greatly enjoyed! My room was exceptionally clean and the housekeeper was very friendly. There were plenty of staff people to assist any time night or day and always had great suggestions for places to see or eat. I enjoyed my stay at the Clarion and have given the hotel name to a number of people since I've returned home. I'd highly recommend this along with the shopping experience, the trolley tour, and I really liked the shipwreck display and lighthouse. I thought the shipwreck narration was very informative and interesting. Mackinaw City is on my list of places to return and gets a thumbs up!!! GO MICHIGAN!!!

The room was great, we were very happy with it. The hot food served at breakfast could have been better quality, and we would have liked larger towels for the pool area. Thank you!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront Catherine from Canton stayed in July 2010

Our room was super clean, the beach was lovely and clean, the pool was nice. the available spray park really made the stay for the kids, the location in town was great, nice walk out for icecream. Loved the 24 hour coffee and hot chocolate. Met the hotel manager making coffee and he was so casual and friendly I wouldn't have guessed him to be the manager, but at the same very professional and complimentary to his staff (great people to work with, he said.) Highly recommend this hotel. Wish the room price was under $200, though, we stayed at an equally nice hotel in St. Ignace for $188 a night and Zehnders Splash Park for $220 so the Clarion at $260 (with tax) was a bit high and might keep us from staying there in the future, unfortunately. Thank you.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront Amy from East Grand Rapids stayed in June 2010

Manager was very helpful explaining things to do, best deals etc. Gave us a room with a water view, which we did not originally pay for. Breakfast is ok, the eggs are not edible, but other than that you can find stuff to eat. Not luxury accomodations, but convenient as a place to stay the night and have a quick breakfast before you do stuff in Mackinaw City or go over to the Island. The pool there and access to the water park across the street are nice for younger kids. I stayed 2 nights with my 8 and 5 year olds, wish I could have stayed 1 more.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Hennemann from Bethel stayed in July 2010

Hotel was clean, and price was better than most. The view was not bad but the hotel was toward the outside of town.... Good if you want to avoid crowds, bad if you want to walk to all the stores. Still close to ferrys.

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.

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

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.
