10 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Toledo that stayed in July 2013The Clarion Hotel had perfect location right on the beach. We loved the pool area and the very large hot tub, too. The fact that our stay here allowed us to use the facilities at two different water parks was another plus. We had a suite that boasted a lakefront view. it was a lovely room with a great view! The breakfast had a good variety, and the fact that it was included in the price of our stay was a nice perk.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Orland Park that stayed in July 2013My family and I (a party of six) stayed for three nights at the Clarion. Everything was very nice. Loved having the two-rooms attached and a bed for everyone (instead of a pull-out sofa). Enjoyed the seats on the balcony for reading in the evening, as well as beachfront property! The complimentary breakfast was plentiful and well-run. Very nice from the eggs to the waffles (much better than most hotels). We even utilized the computers in the lobby to view pictures of a recent Alaskan vacation. Never used the pool or hot tub, but it looked clean and nice. Would definitely stay there again!These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Reedsville that stayed in June 2013The room was great!

8 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Big Rapids that stayed in June 2013Dave the Mgr was EXCELLENT. He went out of his way to ensure a great visit. Food great, location, great. The only cons...and I'm not nit-picking: rooms are dated & the help (besides Dave & the groundskeeper) are all foreign. How about hiring local American workers? These gals do not understand the culture, slang, etc and make many mistakes.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Our stay was pleasant. We appreciated the cleanliness of the room and the excellent maid service. The nice linens, plenty of pillows & towels and clean carpet offset the somewhat dated furnishings. The pool was clean with plenty of towels. The complimentary breakfast had a nice variety of good hot/cold foods. Our beach-side room had a terrific view so our room was more than just a place to sleep. Consider purchasing the tourist tickets package -- great value. Thank you for a great vacation - we'll be back.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10The room was clean spacious and the staff were friendly. We loved the option of having adjoining rooms as we were traveling with a group and having the connecting rooms in the evening was fantastic. The only drawback was the loud refrigerator. Kicking on and off during the night woke me several times.These comments are from a verified stay
