10/10 Exceptional

Happy with our stay.

Stayed 2 nights in king suite with hot tub. Room was clean. Hot tub was clean including jets. Front desk was friendly. Over all stay was good for the price. We didn't swim in pool (water was too cold) or go in spa area. Beach area was alright nice and sandy. Was a close walk to the ferry.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok but would pick a different place.

Room is small but clean. Pool is freezing. Beach has a lot of goose poop and beach towles like someone had a party and it needs to be cleaned up. You can hear everything outside of your room. The motorcycle, people talking seagulls.
Kimberly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms are old and outdated. Staff is friendly. Distance to the ferry boat is great.

6/10 Good

The lobby staff was wonderful. Very disappointed in the condition of the property, lots of trash. The room was very outdated. Hallways were littered. Didn't touch the ice machine. Price wise you get what you pay for. The parking lot was full. Probably will choose something else next time.

Great location

The location of the room was great. It had a small balcony overlooking the beach and water. It was a nice sized room. The worst part of my stay was the mildew/mold smell of the room. It seemed to be better when the balcony door was left open. Carpeting might not be the best choice for a hotel by the beach. Some updating could be done. The continental breakfast was not great. There were very few choices, especially anything healthy. I went out for breakfast the last 2 days of my stay.

You will get what you paid for

The room was very bad and in worst condition. The AC was running the whole night but still the temperature only went from 75 to 73… the breakfast area was ok, not a lot of options to eat.

Look elsewhere

Not a great first impression— outside of door is worn, chipped and in poor condition; the inside seems worse! Carpet to bath is torn down to padding and tack strip; dust around cords and baseboards is thick; no nightstand outlets; bathroom light/fan fixture is open and fan is quite loud; bathroom smells of urine. I would not recommend to anyone.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel didn’t have a very high rating, so I wasn’t expecting a great property. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how nice the property was! It was an older building & a little tired looking, but it was very clean & seemed to be well maintained. I would definitely stay here again! Beachfront room was a huge bonus!
Dan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall it seemed run down. It could use some up grades.
Pamela, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice 2 bedroom room.

The room itself with 2 bedrooms was great, it’s starting to show a little wear and tear, needs updating. Breakfast, not so good. Cereal container not working, couldn’t get cereal out. Get a waffle machine in there, sausage or bacon would be nice.great room Pool area needed help.

2/10 Poor

Clarion hotel Mackinaw City

Check in was supposed to be at 4pm,we arrived at 4:10 and still had a 15 minute wait Room was on second floor,no elevator and I have neuropathy with little or no balance. Breakfast room also on 2nd floor with the elevator in this building at very end of the floor from the breakfast room,no hot eggs of any sort. No elliptical machine in what they passed off as an exercise room,2nd night the entrance to the "exercise room" was blocked by a truck with a huge trailer. Bed not comfortable etc etc, won't stay there again.
Craig, 2-night trip

Hotel

The food choices for breakfast were very lacking. One choice for fruit, the rest was all carbohydrates. We ended up going to the Toast a go go buffet which was nice. The pool was colder than the water in the lake, my legs were frozen for a few hours after several attempts to go in the pool.
Amy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Breakfast and parking

Room was sufficient and suited our needs. We were grateful for the two bathrooms. Hotel is convenient for the ferry. Continental breakfast left a lot to be desired. It consisted of boiled eggs, toast, pancakes and ham. My biggest issue was the parking. The lot is too small for the amount of rooms and it can be hard to maneuver a large vehicle. If you arrive back from a day out later in the evening it’s difficult to find a spot. I’m not sure if there was overflow across the street or if people were just using another lot.
Carrie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay at the Clarion, we had an amazing view of the lake and the beach. It was an effortless check-in. The ferry was right next-door. We literally walked over and caught the ferry to Mackinaw Island. Although the furnishings could’ve used a little updated They were in good condition. The beds were very comfortable. The only thing that I did not like. Was they used extension cords to plug in a lot of their appliances and our extension cord went out through the night, so our refrigerator stopped working throughout the night, but other than that we had her amazing time and we will be back.
Renee, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The top of the door was broken so you couldn’t do an extra lock. The shower head wasn’t great and the pillows were smaller. The pool was not heated and super cold.
