The hotel is nice, right on the beach and clean. The room was so-so, but not bad for the price we paid. Great breakfast bar in the mornings.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Marilynn from Swartz Creek stayed in July 2011

My only problem was that we were on the 3rd floor, beachfront, and there were steps involved to get to the room. However, I managed OK and it wasn't the Clarion's fault - I didn't specify "no steps" when I booked the room. We took two grandchildren there and they enjoyed the beach, lake, and pool. Also was a nice "perk" that they gave us tickets for indoor water parks and other % off offers.

We have stayed here before and love the place. It is close to the ferry and the room rate is very good. We also like the breakfast they provide. Everything is a great value for a family of 5.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Matthew from Bloomfield Hills stayed in July 2011

It was a very nice hotel. To achieve 5 stars, a hotel would have to be a fancy resort, which this is clearly not. That is not to take anything away from it. We had a very nice stay.

The manager, Dave, was a very caring and considerate person in making our stay the best it could be under the circumstances. My wife had become very sick with food poisoning and Dave was willing to do whatever he could to make us comfortable.

The staff was fantastic especially our housekeeper Elaine. The breakfast bar was clean and had a nice variety of food. Check-in was fast and the business center is awesome. This is the first hotel I stayed at that offers free printing in the business center. I would recommend this hotel to family and friends and would stay there again.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront LENORE from San Diego stayed in July 2011

We hoped you would have an elevator for my handicapped dad but you willingly changed his room to the first floor. We also were given special priviledge to use the breakfast room as a pizza supper for our family reunion. We would recommend your hotel and hospitality to anyone. WELL DONE !

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Vicki from Whitmore Lake stayed in July 2011

There was a mistake upon check-in, we had wanted a family suite on the second floor close to the breakfast bar (because one of our party had COPD). We even called John ahead of time - after making online reservations - to be sure they booked us that way. But when we checked in at 5pm they indicated all those rooms had been filled, so they booked us on the third floor. The stay was great, the breakfast bar was good - homemade waffles were the highlight! Nice location and the kids had a blast swimming! I would stay there again, but insist on the room I had booked!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront William from East Lansing stayed in July 2011

Access to the room via the elevator in another unit was cumbersome. Also the 10 o'clock cutoff of the breakfast bar is a bit early for vacationers. Otherwise, it was most pleasant.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Terry from Evart stayed in July 2011

This was a large, clean, comfortable room. The bed was soft, sheets softer , and the pillows exceptional! Beach wasn't the best but with a room like this who cares. Breakfast was very yummy and fresh. Staff was very accomodating and extremely friendly and helpful. This was the best place I have ever stayed. I would say this was above the 5 star rating.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Michelle from Menomonee Falls stayed in July 2011

The price we got through this website was cheaper than going through Clarion itself. The room was always clean and comfortable. We ate breakfast every morning at the FREE breakfast buffet - a plus for any family! We swam in the pool every night and even went to the beach one of the days. The location is great - still near everything, but on the edge of it all, so it's quiet.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront James from Kalamazoo stayed in September 2010

Room outstanding but access to room via elevator difficult especially for those of us with walking issues that make using stairs difficult. Need another elevator at north end. As I said room and hotel location were exceptional but getting there a maze.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Greg from Berrien Springs stayed in October 2010

The room was great and the view was spectacular. The breakfast room was a little crowded for me. Also, the "headboards" on the beds were just leaning up against the wall and one almost fell over. But...nobody was hurt and we ended up getting a laugh out of it. The elevator smelled terrible but the room was clean and the location was good.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront shirley from Kingsley stayed in October 2010

We usually stay at the Clarion when we come up north. However, this time, probably at no fault of the hotel, there were spiders in the bathroom (where the shower is). We were tired and then wondered if there were more in the room elsewhere. Otherwise, lovely rooms and it's nice to have a breakfast before we take off.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Yvonne from Cicero stayed in June 2011

The only problem that I encounter, I purchased the trolly ride for me and my family when I made my reservation. During check in, it was not explained how these token were to be used. My family and I thought that it was the trolley that was being advertise in the city. The last day of my stay went looking around the city for the trolley ride. Called the one that is advertise and they informed me that it might be from the hotel because they offer rides too. Other wise everything was great.

Clean room. AC / heater unit in one room was not working. Awkward building design due to fact that a couple of sets of stairs needed to be climbed in order to get to room. Would be difficult for the elderly or physically impaired.
