Clarion Hotel Beachfront

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 29 Aug 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

The location was great with shuttle service to and from the ferry. The beach front location was very nice. The check-in staff were most helpful. We did expect a suite with 2 bedrooms as per the write up. What we got was two attached bedrooms that shared a bath. The price was very fair.

Positives: Nice beach front location. Close to many downtown areas.

Negatives: The description and picture of the room we stayed in was not accurate.

Overall, we liked the hotel and all the amenities. If there was more seating in the eating area, it would have been the best!

Positives: Liked the breakfast choices!

Negatives: Very limited seating for breakfast---not good.

The pool is big and open until midnight, which is convenient. The breakfast is not bad but the selection is not very fresh.

Positives: Spacious rooms, convenient location.

Negatives: Not the best value.

Walls were paper thin, you could here everything in the rooms on either side of you. Heated pool is in the center of the parking lot. You freeze going and coming from the pool since there is no indoor access. Rooms were clean and breakfast bar was good. Staff was friendly.

This was a nice hotel, that looked nice both inside and out. The room was a bit on the small side, especially when we folded down the bed, but second and third floor rooms looked bigger. The furniture was classy, not like the beat up characterless stuff so typical at standard hotels. The bathroom was larger, with a luxurious shower! Lots of hot water, immediately on demand (my wife especially liked the shower head). The breakfast room was on the second floor, so any handicap guests would want to investigate elevator locations prior to stay. But the breakfast was great, fresh waffles, and cereal, or oatmeal, eggs, sausage and bagels. Whatever someone might want. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

Positives: The room was very clean and stylish, with updated decor inside of rooms, and nice large bathroom.

Negatives: Second bed was fold down from wall.

Great location on the beach. The front desk staff members were very helpful and friendly. The staff at breakfast seemed frazzled and aloof.

Negatives: Complimentary breakfast was not very good - very processed food.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Clarion. The continental breakfast actually offered more than we had anticipated. The price was great and very reasonable for the location. Though the Clarion was near the end of the strip of hotels in Mackinaw City, all locations were easily accessible. The room was gorgeous. The view and balcony were well worth the price of the room. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and hope to return again.

Positives: Great view beautiful room wonderful price accessibility.

Negatives: All the buildings were not connected to each other.

If I ever return to Mackinaw City, I will absolutely stay in this hotel! I loved our room, the view was great, and the staff was wonderful!

Positives: The staff was so friendly with quick and efficient service!

Negatives: You had to walk outside to get to the breakfast room and pool area.

The breakfast was very nice. Location next to ferry was good, but a long walk to the shopping. The room was clean and staff friendly. The 2 person hot tub in the room was nothing more than a "bathtub." not worth the extra money. Also, the pull out sofa was back in a corner with no lighting, made it hard to read there.

Positives: Breakfast.

Negatives: Lack of lighting near the pull out sofa.
