Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Martha from Grand Rapids stayed in June 2017We were very pleased with the Clarion. We liked the location because we could walk or bike to the ferry docks. Our kids spent hours in Clarion's pool and Choice's water park. Our room was just the right size for our family of 5 and the Lake view was beautiful throughout the day and evening. Housekeeping was excellent and the desk staff provided helpful assistance with our trip package. The breakfast bar was a delicious and energizing start to each day. We will definitely return to Mackinaw City and the Clarion Hotel. It was our kids first time to Mackinaw and it won't be the last.These comments are from a verified stay117 people found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Mark from Lowell stayed in June 2017I love staying at the Clarion in Mackinaw City because it's right next to the dock for the Star line ferry. I always get a room with a lakeside view, relax on the balcony, get up in the morning and catch a ride to the island. I also love the convienence of booking everything through the Chamber of Commerce, arrive at the hotel and the staff has everything ready and away we go.These comments are from a verified stay129 people found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Kelly from Chicago stayed in August 2016I ended up not staying here because the convention center and clarion are the same owner, so they found a way to keep me at the convention instead of checking out and in again for 1 day.These comments are from a verified stay115 people found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront JoDee from Traverse City stayed in August 2016Inn on Mackinac has been my choice each time I visit my daughter who works on Mackinac - the staff is excellent, accommodating, so friendly. I spent one of the days at the sundeck, to come up to my room and have a staff member knock on the door just as I had closed it with fresh baked warm cookies. Such a neat treat to break up the day, there were also crackers and cheese with lemonade in the lobby set up as you come in. It's a nice little pick me up when you don't feel like walking the short distance where all of the restaurants are. The rooms are always exceptionally clean. My only one complaint would be that they let other hotels use their pool spa & sundeck, so it gets crowded since it's so small. All & all - I absolutely love it and will continue to choose it as "my place" that I regularly stay.These comments are from a verified stay136 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Kathleen from LaPorte stayed in August 2016Enjoyed the comfortable bed and the view of the lake from the balcony. Only minor complaint is that the sofa bed in the room did not face the TV which is why we wanted the sofa! The chairs in the room worked fine though, just not as comfortable. Would probably stay there again as the girls at the front desk were also very nice and helpful.These comments are from a verified stay127 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
