Clarion Hotel Beachfront Todd from Becker stayed in August 2013

The room was clean and the staff was great. I really liked booking on this website. Prices were far better than the walk-in rate.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Ron from Sault Ste. Marie stayed in August 2013

No complaints. We have stayed at the Clarion twice now and will probably be back. Our stays are not long, so I guess we don`t put the staff to The Test, lol, but the hotel provides a good bed, cleanliness, nice TV and channel selection...things are they should be. Mackinaw merchants are nice, Clarion included. My wife and I love it, and we will be back because of its happy and relaxed vibe. Four stars that could be five, really. Please pass along our thanks to the folks at the Clarion, and please know they aren`t the only area merchants doing the City proud with a truly welcoming attitude.

Everything was fine. Easy check-in and out. Breakfast okay. Lost item was returned promptly. Two bathrooms for the two room suites would have been much better.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Susan from Redford stayed in August 2013

The only reason I did not rate five stars was due to all the stairs to get to and from room. Not having an elevator in each wing as well as the only elevator only going to floor 3 when there are four floors was exhausting. But otherwise was an excellent stay.

Great room, very clean. A little on the expensive side, but my family enjoyed their stay. Big pool! Not your typical 4' - 5' deep end, this one was 8'! Super close to the beach too!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Dennis from Toledo stayed in July 2013

The Clarion Hotel had perfect location right on the beach. We loved the pool area and the very large hot tub, too. The fact that our stay here allowed us to use the facilities at two different water parks was another plus. We had a suite that boasted a lakefront view. it was a lovely room with a great view! The breakfast had a good variety, and the fact that it was included in the price of our stay was a nice perk.

Would prefer if hotels would carry greek yogurt for their continental breakfast. So many people are health conscious, and there should be more choices for the ones who want to do healtier eating. Thank you.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Roxanne from Lumberton stayed in July 2013

When we booked the room online we requested a handicapped room. Unfortunately when we showed up to check in somehow it slipped through the cracks. The individuals at the front desk were very friendly and helpful, and got us into a room to fit our needs. The breakfast tasted great and the rooms were wonderful. Would highly recommend.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront LeAnne from Orland Park stayed in July 2013

My family and I (a party of six) stayed for three nights at the Clarion. Everything was very nice. Loved having the two-rooms attached and a bed for everyone (instead of a pull-out sofa). Enjoyed the seats on the balcony for reading in the evening, as well as beachfront property! The complimentary breakfast was plentiful and well-run. Very nice from the eggs to the waffles (much better than most hotels). We even utilized the computers in the lobby to view pictures of a recent Alaskan vacation. Never used the pool or hot tub, but it looked clean and nice. Would definitely stay there again!

Dave the Mgr was EXCELLENT. He went out of his way to ensure a great visit. Food great, location, great. The only cons...and I'm not nit-picking: rooms are dated & the help (besides Dave & the groundskeeper) are all foreign. How about hiring local American workers? These gals do not understand the culture, slang, etc and make many mistakes.
