It was a very nice view from the balcony. You can see the boats and lake. It's a walking distance from the ferry boats that take you to makinac island. Makinaw city dowtown is very nice to walk and can buy souvenirs.The only complain I had was that the room we stayed in the about the hotel is that the... More

We have stayed here a couple of times for the Zoo de Mack Bike Ride weekend in May. The rooms are very nice and spacious. We normally get a suite which has a king sized bed in one room and two queens in another room with a shared bathroom. The room also comes with a refrigerator and microwave. The rooms... More

I greatly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. We had a beachfront room that was beautiful and very clean. The pool at this hotel was relatively old and small, but was adequate. The free breakfast was surprisingly good and had many options. Overall, it was a nice hotel, especially for Mackinac City, and I would return.

This worked fine for us and our 2 small children. We were a bit surprised at how out of date the hotel was, but our rooms were clean. Small fridge in room as well, which was nice when traveling with kids. Beach is nice. Breakfast was good, but busy.

Very very old and outdated. Dead mosquitoes all over the room. Bugs. Stayed one night and couldn't wait to leave. We had initially booked at Hamilton, but they "lost" our reservation and they have a deal with the Clarion to take their overbookings. Was very different than what we paid for. They didn't even give us the difference we were... More

We stayed at the Clarion two nights with two other families. The rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. The beds are comfortable. The toilet and tub are separated from the sink area, which is nice when travelling with two kids. There is a bar fridge as well. The beach is lovely with clear view of the ferries and lots... More

We were there in September 2011, just before the fall colours really started showing. We had a room overlooking the lake. Watching the sunrise from the warm comfort of bed was an unexpected treat. Breakfast was busy but good. Room was clean and comfortable. The only negative was the cool dash from the pool back to our room (pool was... More

We visited the area in October 2011 and the price of a beach front room was very reasonable. The front desk staff was very helpful and polite. Our room was large, clean and comfortable. I was a little concerned about the noise level from the parking lot or people walking by and it was very quiet in the room. The... More
