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?|

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Jacqueline from Detroit stayed in October 2018The registration desk staff was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The room with a balcony overlooking the lake was awesome. The reason I gave a good rather than outstanding rating is because my bedspread had a stain on it. I removed the stained cover from the bed because I didn't feel comfortable sitting on it. Everything else was fine.These comments are from a verified stay57 people found this helpful.
