Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Bob from Norton Shores stayed in September 2017The breakfast was exceptional. Best ever. The one problem we had was that the tub was too deep and my wife did not feel comfortable getting in for a shower. We are an older couple. We thought that the breakfast room was way too far away to get to in comparison to the room we had. it was raining and that made it even more Iinconvenient. We would recommend the Clarion even with these inconveniences.These comments are from a verified stay106 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Sarah from Avon Lake stayed in July 2017We stayed at the clarion beachfront hotel for 4 nights. The wait staff are very friendly and helpful. For a hotel breakfast it was pretty decent, although the exact same things were offered each day. We had a suite with a king bed and 2 queens. The room was spacious enough for 4 adults and 2 children. It was suffientiantly cleaned, although it could use a little updating. It was always quiet in our room although we were there for a busy weekend. The pool area was very clean and my children loved the pool ( we often during the day had it to ourselves). We also visited a neighboring properties water park ( you gain access by staying at clarion) and my children had a blast. Overall, I would say for a family vacation this was a good hotel, if your looking for a romantic escape I wouldn't suggest it.These comments are from a verified stay101 people found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Andrew from Fowlerville stayed in July 2017Overall, we had a nice stay. We did not spend much time in the hotel, but it provided everything that we needed during our time there. The room was clean, the bathroom was average, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The only major complaint was the internet connection was very weak in the room and did not always work.These comments are from a verified stay110 people found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Martha from Grand Rapids stayed in June 2017We were very pleased with the Clarion. We liked the location because we could walk or bike to the ferry docks. Our kids spent hours in Clarion's pool and Choice's water park. Our room was just the right size for our family of 5 and the Lake view was beautiful throughout the day and evening. Housekeeping was excellent and the desk staff provided helpful assistance with our trip package. The breakfast bar was a delicious and energizing start to each day. We will definitely return to Mackinaw City and the Clarion Hotel. It was our kids first time to Mackinaw and it won't be the last.These comments are from a verified stay115 people found this helpful.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Mark from Lowell stayed in June 2017I love staying at the Clarion in Mackinaw City because it's right next to the dock for the Star line ferry. I always get a room with a lakeside view, relax on the balcony, get up in the morning and catch a ride to the island. I also love the convienence of booking everything through the Chamber of Commerce, arrive at the hotel and the staff has everything ready and away we go.These comments are from a verified stay128 people found this helpful.
