Clarion Hotel Beachfront Liz from Manchester stayed in June 2013

The front desk team and the cleaning team did a great job. The breakfast was nice and we appreciated the availability and the length of time it was open. Thanks! Overall - great hotel. We also like the opportunity to purchase our tickets prior to arriving and having them at the front desk. Though we did not have the correct tickets upon our arrival the front desk team had the correct tickets for us the next morning.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Cathy from Lima stayed in May 2013

Our stay was pleasant. We appreciated the cleanliness of the room and the excellent maid service. The nice linens, plenty of pillows & towels and clean carpet offset the somewhat dated furnishings. The pool was clean with plenty of towels. The complimentary breakfast had a nice variety of good hot/cold foods. Our beach-side room had a terrific view so our room was more than just a place to sleep. Consider purchasing the tourist tickets package -- great value. Thank you for a great vacation - we'll be back.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Janette from Troy stayed in May 2013

The room was clean spacious and the staff were friendly. We loved the option of having adjoining rooms as we were traveling with a group and having the connecting rooms in the evening was fantastic. The only drawback was the loud refrigerator. Kicking on and off during the night woke me several times.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront beth from Belleville stayed in October 2012

We enjoyed everything about the Clarion Hotel when we stayed there. The rooms where large and spacious. The bathroom area was quite large to with a fridge. I was expecting a mini fridge not the size that was in the room. The employees were very friendly. The breakfast area was very busy during the time it was open but the staff kept everything neat and filled. We will be staying there again.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Lynne from Jackson stayed in October 2012

The Clarion Hotel Beachfront is my favorite accomodation within the Straits area due to its first class accomodations, professional staff and incredible lakefront view. A fourth floor room with a view at sunrise or sunset is like having your own luxury condo on the beach.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Mike from Saint Louis stayed in October 2012

We booked a room at the Clarion online, but the room wasn't available. It showed that it was available the whole time I was booking it. A few minutes later, a gentleman from the Clarion called me and told me it was already booked, and had found me another room at the Hamilton Inn Select and had negotiated the same rates for me. So, AWESOME customer service from the Clarion!! Might need to figure out the glitch in the online reservations though!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Donna from South Bend stayed in September 2012

Good service, excellent accommodations. Clean and comfortable. Breakfast had good selections and was filling, though we would have liked some fresh fruit, not in a syrup, such as an apple or banana. We would definitely return there for another visit.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Joan from Kalamazoo stayed in September 2012

Got in late on Friday night and fortunately the pool/hot tub was open until midnight so we could still enjoy it for our 1-night stay. Had a nice room.....2 separate rooms was great for a family of 5. Breakfast buffet was good, they kept things stocked and plenty of room to sit. We'll be back.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Vicki from Nashville stayed in September 2012

This was one of the cleanist hotels of it's kind that I've ever been in. Our room was very nice and the view beautiful. All of the staff that I encountered were polite, cheerful, and helpful. The breakfast had the most variety of any I've seen for this type of hotel, and it actually tasted good. All of the people working as kitchen staff were on the ball and more than happy to get you what you needed or wanted when you needed or wanted it. My hat is off to the people who made or stay so enjoyable. Sincerely, Vicki Nashville,TN.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront CHARLANE from GREENVILLE stayed in September 2012

The rooms were very clean. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. I generally don't sleep well in motel beds, but I fell sleeep quickly and slept all night, every night I was there. The view from the balcony was great. It was everything the website said it was. I will definately stay again.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Walter from Sterling Heights, stayed in September 2012

We arivied late and were assigned a court room as reserved. However, my wife was disatisified as it was an older room. The motel staff worked with us to relocate to a bayview room at a reduced rate. My wife then loved the room and wished we had time to stay longer.
