Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Stan from Belleville stayed in August 2024When we arrived the room we originally booked had a strong musty moldy smell. We went to the front desk and asked for a different room. They were very accommodating and immediately gave us another room. When we were moving our luggage out of the first room the maintenance worker met us and said he was going to take a look at what was wrong. The second room we have had no issues and have enjoyed our stay.These comments are from a verified stay2 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Paul from Brentwood stayed in October 2023This was clearly an older property, and we knew that going in. Slightly threadbare carpet but bathroom was clean and room very spacious, with high ceiling (top floor) overlooking Lake Huron and the ferry pier. Beds were comfortable and furnishings were lovely old hardwood. We found that charming, but if you like something more modern looking this would not be that. TV had access to a lot of on-demand channels, which we took advantage of due to a couple of cold and rainy days. We had an issue with the faucet in our tub which was promptly fixed. Staff very friendly. Only area that could be improved was the free breakfast, which was not as good as it should have been: Hard boiled eggs served cold, tepid coffee, and rubbery pancakes. No fresh fruit. Like every other hotel in the area, there was a big price jump on the Saturday of the long weekend (Columbus Day), but this one had the lowest increase of all of them, which was partly why we chose it. Discounted tickets to ferry, which docked right next door, were available at front desk. Would stay here again.These comments are from a verified stay4 people found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Teresa from Dewitt stayed in July 2024Hotel is old and tired. Our room was clean, but worn. The doorknob in the bathroom worked, but it had a repair with putty, to keep it smooth I suppose, strange. The linens and towels seemed new and were nice. The staff we interacted with were efficient and pleasant. The price was reasonable for a tourist town. We did not use the pool or free breakfast.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Michael from Clinton Township stayed in August 2024I have done a survey with Clarion Hotels and gave them 4-star rating. My reasons for my rating are, I found a "pink" ring around the shower head, this is a bacterium. I know this because my wife is a certified for kitchen sanitation and I am reminded of keeping the area around the sink drain and the shower needs to be kept clean. It also looks like the ice machine, located near room 222, needs to be cleaned.We were very pleased with the room, except for the above areas mentioned.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Barb from Columbus stayed in September 2023We stayed for 2 night in a nice beachfront room. The desk clerk was very helpful opening our room, as the inside door flip over lock flipped when we left the room. Apparently maid service simply picking up dirty towels, making a bed, and possibly leaving more cups for coffee is a thing of the past. The breakfast buffet had very few choices.These comments are from a verified stay3 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|3 out of 5 stars

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Tracy from Brown City stayed in August 2023The staff was very nice everyone we met was very very accommodating. We were there for three nights we never needed anyone to take care of our room. But when we walked in the hallway we were always asked if we needed anything. The only problem was the steps a lot of steps. And my husband is on a cane so its kind of challenging for us. Exterior could use some heavy duty cleaning. Updating in general.These comments are from a verified stay2 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Beverly from Richland stayed in June 2023The hotel is great. Clean, big beach. The only drawback is the elevator issue. You can get to the 3rd floor but then to get to certain rooms you need to navigate a couple stairs. Not a big issue but unexpected. Breakfast is nice. Room was very clean and roomy.These comments are from a verified stay3 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Traveler Reviews (51-100 of 1144)
