Clarion Hotel Beachfront
Clarion Hotel Beachfront Mike from Farmington stayed in September 2011

We loved our stay in Mackinaw City and the Clarion Beachfront was a major part of it. We had a 1st floor beachfront room with balcony and hot tub. The room was very comfortable and laid out well. It was so relaxing to sip my morning coffee on the balcony and watch thee sun come up over lake Huron. We did a lot of sightseeing (walking) and a soak in the hot tub was a great way to relax back in our room. Our room was always immaculately clean and the entire staff was gracious and helpful. I am recommending it to all of my friends.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Paul from Howell stayed in September 2011

The hotel has outstanding value for Mackinaw City. We stayed at the Clarion last summer and was satisfied. The rooms are tidy and clean. We paid $20 more for a lake view room this year and it was worth it. The rooms are a little nicer and having the balcony was nice. A bonus was that the room came with passes to the water park across the street.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Pamela from Pemberton stayed in September 2011

I asked for a lakefront room with balcony on the top floor, and for a great view. This was my first trip to the area. I was put on the fourth floor, and the view was wonderful. The room was oversized and bright...just lovely. The hotel and staff made this mini vacation one I'll remember for a long time. Would I come back...YES!!! Would I stay at the Clarion again..YES!!! Would I recommend the Clarion...YES!!! It was a perfect vacation. I enjoyed Mackinaw City and Mackinaw Island so much, and really look forward to a return trip.

The Clarion Hotel Beachfront was nicely appointed and the staff was very helpful and courteous. We enjoyed the great expanded breakfast, the grounds were well tended and we enjoyed our stay, so much so, that we would not hesitate to stay there again. Please tell the staff how much we enjoyed our stay. Pat and Tony Pfieffer

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Sarah from Lansing stayed in August 2011

This hotel was one of the cleanest I have stayed at! From the bathroom, to the balcony, it was immaculate! The only suggestion I have is to have some FRESH fruit on the breakfast bar. Otherwise, great breakfast, clean room, great stay! We will definitely be staying here again!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Jespersen from White Lake stayed in August 2011

The rooms were clean and nicely furnished. We had access to the beach and to the pool and exercise room. However the pool was not open early enough for a morning swim before check out time to really be able to take advantage of it. The breakfast buffett was very adequate but we were glad that we are physically fit older seniors. We saw one couple struggle with climing the stairway to get to the buffet. I would go ther again. The bang for the buck was great.

They were very accomodating. We'd asked for 2 adjoining rooms and they were able to handle that. The breakfast was just average though. Nothing very special. Staff was extremely friendly though.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Brian from JENISON stayed in August 2011

We had a nice stay at this hotel. The room was large, nice and clean and we had a room on the beach as we had requested. However, we were told we would get an upper floor with a deck. The deck area on the main floor was a bit smaller, but over all it was a nice place to stay. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Tracy from Stacy stayed in August 2011

We really enjoyed our stay at Clarion Hotel. The lady that cleaned our room and the lady that ran the breakfast buffet were very friendly and made our stay more enjoyable. It was nice to come back to a clean room and to be greeted by the stuffed animals that were neatly placed on my children's beds. We can't say enough how nice it was to be greeted by a familiar face each morning at the breakfast buffet. The lady always had a smile on her face while singing along with the positive songs on the radio she had playing. Wow! That really started our day off on a positive note! Other customers stated the same thing-to hear nice music and to see a smiling face every morning. I have referred your hotel to 9 of my staff members. Actually, two of them have already booked a room for next year! I would like to say the front desk staff were not as friendly or welcoming as the housekeepers and the women serving breakfast. If the front desk staff had the same attitude and friendliness, I would have rated our stay "outstanding". Sincerely, The Thomas Family

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Sharon from Royal Oak stayed in August 2011

The price for the rooms was very reasonable and the staff was courteous and helpful. I booked the rooms on the internet and requesting ajoining rooms, if possible. We had no problems getting the rooms together, which was very helpful to us. The breakfast buffet was a good way to start the day and kept us going until late in the afternoon. The beach was great and the we had a wonderful time swimming in the lake. Thank you also for the waterpark passes. The kids really enjoyed that. This hotel was recommended to me from a friend of mine that had stayed here last year. I would definetly stay here again, and recommend the hotel to my family and friends. Regards, Sharon McEvoy

The room was clean, the staff was very friendly and professional, the breakfast was awesome. The only negative was that the coffee pot in our room was broken, so we couldn't have coffee when we woke up the first moring. It was replaced immediately, so we were happy.

This is the 5th year in a row we have stayed at the Clarion Beachfront room. The view is breathtaking you can see Mackinac Island from your room, the rooms are clean, the complimentary breakfast has everything for every individual,whether you like sweet foods, healthy foods, or hearty foods. The Arnold ferry line to Mackinac Island is next door, walking distance, which makes for an easy access. It is always a great experience. We love it here.
