Clarion Hotel Beachfront Dan from Jackson stayed in July 2021

Hotel was clean, soda machines were out of order and no breakfast (just a bag). Location is convenient and rooms were spacious. Hopefully breakfast will come back and soda machines were changed out on the last day of our stay. I would stay here again.

Staff was friendly. Warren took care of the week and was awesome. The only thing I would say negatively is it's time for them to update their rooms. Great location, great value!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Eric from Southington stayed in July 2021

This hotel was perfectly placed and offered all the amenities needed. There was an issue with a skylight blind malfunction, but it did not negatively impact our stay. There are some updates required to help keep the beach sand from getting into the room and the doors to the room and bathroom have seemed to warp. This made them hard to open/close at times. A little more attention to detail on the housekeeping end too, as we found remnants of prior visitors food items on the floor when we rearranged the sofa bed. These issues were not enough to make our experience poor. The Clarion provided what we were looking for and did not disappoint.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Tina from Highland stayed in June 2021

The room was very clean. We were very satisfied with the room itself. The hotel grounds could use some cleaning and manicuring. Weeds, broken screens, bugs in the walkway. We liked that it was close to the ferry dock.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Annmary from Montgomery stayed in June 2021

I was first given the wrong room, not the one I had requested. But the young lady at the desk straightened it out for me and all was well. You can just tell things are getting a little worn out and tired. But the bed was comfy and I like the location of this hotel.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Mikel from Belleville stayed in June 2021

Everything was good at the Clarion except for the elevator/layout of the building. That is the only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5. To get to the 3rd floor you had to take the elevator and then go down 2 sets of stairs. It was difficult for us to get our luggage, cooler, and other items for our 5 day stay up to our room. Other than that it was outstanding! The view from the balcony was beautiful. The beds were comfy and the room was clean. There was a refrigerator but no microwave. The nice sized table with 2 chairs worked out perfectly for us to dine at. We stayed at the Hamilton Inn, the Ramada Inn, and The Clarion Inn. The Clarion was best overall. Would stay there again. The sunrise over the lake each morning was breath taking!!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront James from Marine City stayed in October 2020

It was a good view from the balcony onto Lake Huron. The room was clean and comfortable. The few things that needed attention concern the bathroom. The light over the counter and sink took some coaxing to get to stay on. The shower head needed replacing as most of the water just didn’t come out as a spray no matter the setting. Having to ask for facecloths, which I would have expected to be supplied in every unit seem strange. Then not to have a working phone to call the front desk to ask help. Last but maybe the most important was no internet service. Talked to a few customers on that, and nobody could get internet service. Regardless of those problems our stay was still enjoyable.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Jennifer from Centreville stayed in October 2020

The room was beautiful!! The front desk was so friendly and explained everything. The only thing that was disappointing (not fault of the hotel) they did not provide breakfast as the web site states but, gives you a BOGO to a local restaurant and the food was expensive and gross. Also, when I booked through the Mackinaw CIty Chamber of Tourism the package said we could use the waterparks but, all the waterparks were closed.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Shirley from Thompsonville stayed in October 2020

Hotel room was very clean, and the water view was as described. Very comfortable, only complaint was the hot tub was not hot, and the Internet was down I will stay. But overall, the reception staff were very pleasant, and the room was very clean. Hands-down one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in in that area.

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Eileen from College Place stayed in September 2020

I am a repeat customer of at least 5 different stays over the years. I love the balcony view and the fact that this property is ideally located slightly away from the main thicket of the other hotels. Right next to US-31. Love that Sheplers has the shuttle trolley which circumvents the hassle of parking. Spacious room is always clean. Desk staff was especially impressive this year, friendly, professionally groomed, efficient and friendly. Thank you!

Clarion Hotel Beachfront Lindsey from Royal Oak stayed in October 2020

Lovely place to stay. Very convenient location. No breakfast due to COVID, which was a bummer but understandable. No television in the rooms, so for a cold fall night, got a little boring. But with a good book or some card games, worked out just fine. Would definitely stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay. The view from the room was gorgeous. Room was clean upon arrival. Only issue we had was the copious amount of spiders that we had to kill inside our room. Was even a nest that we had found in the crevice between the wall and the ceiling, in the hallway between the rooms where the door to the bathroom was located.
