Room was clean. Water pressure okay. Water only lukewarm at any time. Didn't seem to matter what time of morning or at night. A/C didn't seem to cool the room very well.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Mary Sue from Jenison stayed in July 2012

The hotel was quite clean, easy to find and convenient to attractions. Hotel staff friendly and helpful.Breakfast food and room pleasant enough, was not expecting gourmet. Parking a tight squeeze. Tripping hazards entering breakfast room, short curbs for handicapped ramps which are poorly engineered

We liked staying at the Clarion in Mackinaw City, it was very comfortable and clean. I liked the 2 bedroom suite. And plenty of towels. Sitting on the beach in the morning was my favorite part.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Tracey from Dimondale stayed in July 2012

The hotel was on the beach which was great and very close to the Ferry. The room was nice and clean, but a little outdated...however, not a big deal we weren't in the room much. I would definitely stay here again.

Good clean hotel for small tourist town. Con. Brief. Was fair. Eggs were cooked in microwave yuck! Meat didn't taste well either. How about a omelette station. I know its hands but it would go over big.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront jonetta from Romeo stayed in July 2012

It was a good hotel at a good price, good location, and nice amenities with the beach front and hot breakfast. The only thing, our room appeared to be clean but had a strong odor. Though, it almost seemed like the smell of perhaps new carpet padding and the carpet appeared to be new.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Nicole from Westerville stayed in July 2012

The hotel staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Some of the things seemed slightly dated, such as peeling wallpaper. The pool and hot tub were very nice but most of the machines in the workout room did not work. The hotel beach was great and the breakfast was delicious. Overall a good stay.

The most important thing when staying at a hotel is the cleanliness of the rooms. Room was very clean. When we arrived we were told we wouold be updated to a larger room. Staff was very considerate that we had driven quite a long way. Breakfast foods were adequate and good. Enjoyed our stay. Would return to this hotel.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Kristina from Lakeville stayed in June 2012

The room was very nice and the staff was wonderful. The drawback is the breakfast. It was like a feeding frenzy with too many children running around screaming and/ or crying. Food all over the floor and the hot food was not very good. We went somewhere else for breakfast each morning.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Ronald from Cordova stayed in June 2012

Everything was as expected, clean, plenty of room in our choice. The only issue was that the sun set on the side of the hotel where we stayed and it took a while for the room to cool when we arrived because the air conditioner was not turned on. Also the next day when we came back to the room the curtains were drwn, the air conditioner was off and again it took some time to cool the room. I called the front desk and asked that they not turn the air off anymore and they complied. Hot tub is huge two people fit with room to spare so that is nice. You can say the hotel is out dated, but it is in good condition and clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Would recommend this hotel to anyone heading to Mackinaw.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Sandra from Ann Arbor stayed in June 2012

It was great to have a suite so that the kids could have their own room and we could have ours. They loved the big flat screen TV's in the room. We liked the coffee maker, microwave, and fridge in our room too. The pool was very nice. Our room was a little bit small and probably had one too many chairs. The breakfast was really good but it would have been nice if yogurt and fresh fruit were available.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Karen from PLEASANT LAKE stayed in June 2012

We have stayed at the Clarion several times. We chose it over the others due to the fact we can get the two room suites. The bathrooms are large and the room accommodates our large gang. We get a reasonable rate also. I noticed that the rms with 2 queens are really large, I would like to see you have adjoining rms with 2 queens then we would have 2 bathrooms also.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Chris from Lansing stayed in June 2012

The hotel was wonderful. I made two phone calls with quick questions prior to my stay and the hotel rep was a little breaf on their answer but my question was answered. Then we arrived and had the best room! Really lovely and the hotel staff went out of their way to take care of anything we needed! The breakfast bar was pleasant except for the sausage??? Not sure about that! But my family loved our stay and I hope to return to this hotel many times again. It is our NEW favorite place to go!

The breakfast was the best free breakfast that we ever had!!! This was, BY FAR, the best value that we've ever had! WE'LL BE BACK!!!
