Clarion Hotel Beachfront Stewart from Upland stayed in September 2022

Large Room, clean, beautiful view. Loved having an elevator to our third floor room even though it had an outside entrance. Friendly helpful staff. Very close to Star Line Ferry ... easy walk. Things I think could be improved would be...repairs to the bathroom are needed (peeling wallpaper and some mold). Also would prefer to have a better breakfast rather than just the grab and go option. The rate was very competitive for the area and what we had as far as comfort and location, we appreciate the opportunity to review the hotel. Even with the improvements needed I would recommend the hotel to others and I would definitely stay there again myself.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Ann from Traverse City stayed in September 2022

The hotel is in a perfect setting and location. Our beachfront room had stunning views of the water and the ferries coming and going. However the decor and furnishings are due for a refresh. They seem old and worn. The jacuzzi in the room was unnecessary.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Jacqueline from Roseville stayed in July 2022

It was clean and the staff were helpful. It could use some updating and when we checked in they gave us the wrong room so we had to back to the office to get the right room. Beautiful sandy beach and a nice view from our lakefront room. Beds are very comfortable.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Lori from Grand Rapids stayed in July 2022

The front desk staff were great in registering us early and getting us on our way for our day. She even remembered us when we arrived later in the day and got our room keys right away. The room was clean and comfortable. Four stars because of peeling wallpaper and no USB ports readily available.

It was a nice room for the price. A few things didn't work, like the shade to cover the window that was up high, but we loved having a balcony overlooking the lake so it was ok.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Gary from Aurora stayed in June 2022

Quiet clean comfortable hotel. The front desk staff was friendly and we checked in early and our room was ready. The front ice machine was out of order forcing us to go to the rear building to get ice, which is a hike as we were staying near the front. We did not use the pool but there were several people enjoying it. Overall a great stay and beautiful property.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Carol from Marysville stayed in June 2022

One of.the best hotels we've stayed in over.the years. No hassle w check-in, clean room and housekeeping was wonderful, and stayed in room with lake view which we completely enjoyed. One exception - free breakfast? Apples, instant oatmeal and coffee? Not exactly a breakfast expected instead offered BOGO coupons that cost $20+ for buffet. Cannot eat enough for that price.

Our room was very clean and homey. The view from the balcony was spectacular. The Wi-Fi did leave something to be desired. We loved the fact our bed was made each day and we had new towels daily without having to ask. Will recommend it to everyone

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Susan from Fremont stayed in June 2022

Had a great time as always room was clean staff friendly pillows were horrible way too soft. Had a plumbing problem in room on last night's stay but was moved to an upgraded room which was very nice. Original room was nice but wish it had a table and chairs so we could have played cards. Will definitely consider this hotel next time I visit. Hopefully the wonderful breakfasts the hotels are known for will return by then.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Antoinette from Cadillac stayed in June 2022

Hotel rooms are very nice. We stayed on the third floor, even though there was an elevator, we had two small flights of stairs to use in order to access the room. Another downside was lack of breakfast items. On the whole, it was an enjoyable stay, the room was clean, staff was very pleasant and helpful. I would stay there again and recommend it anyone.

Location great however the room had a peculiar smell so we put air conditioning on but it didn’t take away the odor. We had some peppermint with us and sprayed the room which helped.
