Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Kenneth from Mount Juliet stayed in September 2016Before my wife passed we stayed at the Clarion for years, prior to our trips to the Island. On this bittersweet trip, involving a memorial gathering to honor her, I was reminded how great the Clarion is. The staff was totally professional, and the amenities were greatly appreciated. I'm sure I'll be back in the future.These comments are from a verified stay119 people found this helpful. Did you find 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?|

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Jean from Hudson stayed in June 2016Check in was quick, accurate, and the staff was very knowledgable about the area. Very close to 2 island ferries and discounts are available at the front desk. Our room was clean and well supplied with everything we needed. I especially liked that we had a deck overlooking the beach--beautiful and peaceful sunrise view. The complimentary breakfast was delicious too. Hot food was hot and the waffles were great. The pool and hot tub were well maintained and spacious. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this hotel to friends. One thing that is unusual is that the building with the beach view is 1/2 story off from the building with the elevator, so carrying luggage up and down a few stairs in unavoidable if staying in those rooms. I recommend this property!These comments are from a verified stay106 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Glenn from Traverse City stayed in March 2016We actually stayed at the Crown Choice Inn and Suites. The waterpark/pool was great for our granddaughters. The room was clean, however, the sliding glass door to the balcony would not lock. We, therefore, had to change rooms because there wasn't anyone to repair the door in our first room. Staff was courteous and friendly. I would go back and definitely would recommend the waterpark.These comments are from a verified stay117 people found this helpful.
