8 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Carbondale that stayed in October 2021The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The furniture is a bit dated, but we loved the balcony. We watched fireworks on Friday evening and the view was great. They had breakfast boxes - water and an apple and granola bar. The apples were old and yellow inside, but we appreciated the other things.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Fort Wayne that stayed in October 2021We enjoyed our visit to the area so much! Although we could tell our hotel was old, it was still clean and comfortable. On our last night there, our door broke and we couldn’t get into our room, so after sitting in the lobby for 1-1/2 hours, the maintenance guy had to give up and they moved us to another identical room which was just fine! Stuff happens. We loved looking out onto the beach and seeing the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets!These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Salem that stayed in October 2021Polite staff. Our suite was very clean however the furniture could use updating and my wife pointed out that a small table by the bed would be nice for charging a phone. We were told that there was just 7 steps up to the 4th floor from the elevator that stops in a different building on the 3rd floor. It's 5 steps down and 8 steps up. Hard with a bad knee. Everything considered, I still recommend staying at this Clarion. The view and cleanliness really made the stay nice.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Tecumseh that stayed in August 2021Needs a little upgrade but it would not stop me from staying next year. Was not happy that the air condition unit was on the balcony. Couldn't hear the water because the unit was so loud. This is not the fault of employees but this is why I stay on the beach for the water not a air conditioning unit.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from West Branch that stayed in August 2021I have visited Mackinaw City almost every year for 20 years. This hotel is by far the best place I have ever stayed!! I will never stay anywhere else. Pleasant staff, clean lobby and room. Huge room with all the amenities you need. The bed was comfy and I loved the pillows! Beautiful views and spacious balcony! The hotel is so quiet and although my room was outside of the elevator, I didn't hear a thing once I was locked inside my room. I was travelling alone and didn't want a bottom floor. Hotel had no problem in accommodating my request to be on at least the 2nd floor. As a matter of fact, the front desk told me "she didn't blame me" and understood completely and gave me a room on the 3rd floor. The only thing I would point out is to have someone check the beach front in the morning where some ignorant, inconsiderate guests left trash and I saw plastic bags blowing down the beach.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Hickory Corners that stayed in August 2021My lakefront balcony room was wonderful!! However, I would recommend some spider spray if you plan on spending any evening time on your balcony. Other than that the beds were very comfortable and our room was very clean, we were also greeted by kind staff and the cleaning crew always asked if I needed anything as we were there for 3 nights! I would definitely recommend this hotel!!These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel BeachfrontHotel Customer from Southington that stayed in July 2021This hotel was perfectly placed and offered all the amenities needed. There was an issue with a skylight blind malfunction, but it did not negatively impact our stay. There are some updates required to help keep the beach sand from getting into the room and the doors to the room and bathroom have seemed to warp. This made them hard to open/close at times. A little more attention to detail on the housekeeping end too, as we found remnants of prior visitors food items on the floor when we rearranged the sofa bed. These issues were not enough to make our experience poor. The Clarion provided what we were looking for and did not disappoint.These comments are from a verified stay
