Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Margaret from Warrington stayed in August 2014For the price, it was more than we could have asked for. Plenty of room for the kids, and the breakfast in the morning was a nice bonus. We only stayed here two nights--one before jumping on the ferry the next morning, and the next time two days later after catching the last ferry back. If we return to the Mackinaw area again, we will definitely spend at least one night at the Clarion.These comments are from a verified stay151 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront RICHARD from GRAND RAPIDS stayed in August 2014We had a great room with beautiful lake view. My only concern was what looks like a drainage ditch along west side of hotel with garden hoses running into it. It was fairly empty when we checked in but at night you could hear water running into it. In the morning it was full. Just seems a little fishy ,unsanitary and unsightly next to the lake.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Mary from Cleveland 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 stay101 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
