Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Savannah from Ypsilanti stayed in June 2020Really enjoyed our stay. The view from the room was gorgeous. Room was clean upon arrival. Only issue we had was the copious amount of spiders that we had to kill inside our room. Was even a nest that we had found in the crevice between the wall and the ceiling, in the hallway between the rooms where the door to the bathroom was located.These comments are from a verified stay19 people found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Amanda from Comstock Park stayed in September 2019Staff was very friendly. Breakfast is an average hotel breakfast. Room was clean, pool was warm. I prefer a hotel where you don't have to go to a different building for pool and breakfast, but it's very common up in Mackinaw. Not a deal breaker for me.These comments are from a verified stay48 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Jennifer from Greenville stayed in September 2019The Clarion was unable to accommodate our stay due to problems with the room we. The Clarion called us to let us know and booked us a room down the road, they took care of all accommodations for us and made sure they got us a room that would support all 8 in our party. We go every year during this weekend and will book next year with the Clarion.These comments are from a verified stay44 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Ellen from Norton stayed in September 2019Nice room. Very comfortable beds. Clean. The breakfast was great. A full breakfast, not just continental. My ONLY reason for not giving the hotel a 5 is that the two young pysho checked us in were a bit rude and we're more concerned with whomever they were texting with than helping us. The young man was very difficult to understand, and it was obvious he really didn't want to answer our questions and give us the directions we were asking for.These comments are from a verified stay53 people found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront William from Englewood stayed in June 20191. The rooms were clean and the staff was courteous. 2. The free breakfast was amazing. 3. We were a little disappointed in the beach area, but again it was Mackinaw, not Myrtle Beach. 4. Insects were a problem. Mostly annoying lake flies, perhaps strategically placed bug lights might help. 5. Mackinaw City Chamber of Tourism was also very helpful. The complimentary items in our package were unknown to the hotel staff, but the Chamber was quick to get a resolution. We loved our time at Mackinaw and wish to return. The entire approach from the Chamber of Tourism is amazing and quite effective. Thank you for making our vacation everything it could have been.These comments are from a verified stay64 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
