8 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Cleveland that stayed in July 2014The hotel was clean, with a wonderful view. Housekeepers were very friendly and thorough with their jobs. The front desk staff extremely helpful. What kept your hotel from an outstanding rating was the WiFi service, breakfast was average, and the stairs were inconvenient(we had to walk up a couple flights and then back down just to get to our room. Having the lobby positioned in another building was very inconvenient(especially in the heavy rain).These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Breckenridge that stayed in May 2014Our Jeep broke down while we were up north for Memorial Day weekend 2014. Our stay at the Clarion got extended by 5 nights. The staff from the manager, Dave, to the maintenance men & cleaning ladies were amazing! They definitely made us feel at home.

It's our new "home away from home."These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Pleasant Lake that stayed in January 2014The only thing I did not like was that I booked for the clarion and then was moved to a different hotel, which was an awesome hotel and I was okay with that, just if they are not open don't allow us to book them, just show the hotels that are open.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from South Bend that stayed in October 2013Excellent accommodations and staff. We had been assigned a room on an upper floor, but when we expressed concern about hauling our suitcases up the stairs (no elevator in this particular building), the desk clerk willingly reassigned us to a main-floor room. In fact, we didn't even need to request it; he suggested it himself. Nice coffee/lounge room where we could meet with friends. Great breakfast buffet, too!These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Lake Ann that stayed in October 2013The room was nice and had what we expected with the jacuzzi tub. I feel the room was clean and well maintained. The breakfast bar was not as nice as expected but perhaps it was due to all the people that were there. It was a large spacious area but there wasn't anyone checking tables to clean them up or keep the serving areas clean. Close to the dock for our trip to the island and the overall hotel was pleasant and comfortable.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Vermontville that stayed in October 2013Check-in was easy and staff was friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Tile floor in bathroom area was very slippery, especially with stockings on your feet. Bins of used bedding outside near the office when we checked in were unattractive. They were still there in the morning. The hot breakfast bar and the dining area were especially nice.These comments are from a verified stay
