Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Neha from Sterling Heights stayed in February 2011The hotel was still undergoing construction and not ready to be opened, so they arranged for our stay at neighboring hotel (Hamilton Inn) and paid for the difference in price so that we could keep the same type of room. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return during the summer season.These comments are from a verified stay102 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Ralf from Clarksville stayed in September 2010We liked staying at the Clarion Hotel. The outstanding breakfast, and the view from our balcony was breath taking. The only thing that was not pleasant was, going outside in the freezing rain to get to the pool area. There is plenty of room to make a in-closed walkway to the pool area.These comments are from a verified stay72 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Sandi from MIlwaukee stayed in September 2010The room was comfortable and clean,and the balcony view great. The room was quiet, we did not hear any outside noise. My only criticism would be to have the extremely large TV cabinet on the wall opposite the sofa instead of the beds. It would have been nice if the elevator actually let you off on your floor - you should advertise that it's limited elevator access and that you will still have to go up and down a set of stairs.These comments are from a verified stay55 people found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Robert from Shelby stayed in September 2010John helped us out so much with changing rooms, recommending a restaurant, etc. Got the price on the internet and it was honored at the motel. He was very good. Rooms were clean. We had one problem with TV and it was taken care of immediately. Breakfast was the best! One thing we did not like was the cancellation policy. Most motels have a 24 hr. in advance notice with no charge. This motel was 3 day.These comments are from a verified stay93 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Filis from Franklin stayed in August 2010We stayed at the Clarion at the end of August 2010 with our 2 young children. The hotel was clean and service was good. We used the indoor pool and it was nice. The water was brown in the lake probably from the island boats so we did not swim in the lake.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Gayle from Monroe stayed in August 2010I was extremely impressed with the room and view. I was able to see Lk.Huron from my balcony which was an unexpected treat and greatly enjoyed! My room was exceptionally clean and the housekeeper was very friendly. There were plenty of staff people to assist any time night or day and always had great suggestions for places to see or eat. I enjoyed my stay at the Clarion and have given the hotel name to a number of people since I've returned home. I'd highly recommend this along with the shopping experience, the trolley tour, and I really liked the shipwreck display and lighthouse. I thought the shipwreck narration was very informative and interesting. Mackinaw City is on my list of places to return and gets a thumbs up!!!
