My wife and I stayed here after riding 40 miles on the bike trail from Coleman to Midland and back. This time we just got a room and thought we would venture out for dinner and breakfast at some different places. We stayed on a Sunday night and it was very quiet at the Hotel and very quiet in town.... more

I felt an overwhelming need to write a review after reading the jfk is a rip off review. I also stayed in the jfk and really enjoyed it. It was a very nice clean room. I also have been in the hotel on St. Pats and cant imagine spending my wedding night in the bar there. But lets talk about... more

We came here for the weekend for graduation ceremionies at CMU, not sure what to expect based on the mixed reviews. I must say we were happy with just about everything. Our rooms were clean and spacious. The hotel itself was quiet at night, the only noise was from the traffic on the main road-we had a ground level room... more

I stayed at the Doherty on my wedding night, March 17, 2009 (St. Patrick's day). I had told my family and my husband's family about how great the Doherty was and how they were going to have a traditional irish folk singer/comedian for entertainment. I had reserved a table for the family in the lounge and got the romantic package... more

15degrees outside but the bar was open and the locals were in it watching hockey games. The food is good, although some items are better than others. Stick to the steaks and the French Dip Sandwich. French Onion soup was very good. The breakfast that comes with the room was very good too. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room... more

This review IS for the hotel part. We were UNLUCKY enough to stay at the Doherty over Thanksgiving. Well, it seems that this is the time for all Doherty's to come to Grandpa's house aka hotel. Now we have all been to "Grandpa's House" where we might be allowed to do things we don't normally do at home, like stay... more

My husband and I stayed here for the first time under the 'rendevoux package.' We both got 1 hour massages, a great dinner and breakfast. We paid more and stayed in the JFK suite which had a nice jacuzzi. The staff was very friendly and our dinner and breakfast were really nice. The wait staff was very professional and I... more

I stayed there because I formerly lived in Clare, many years ago and know the Hotel.. It is a grand old hotel and has it's charm, but it does need a little upgrading, painting the sleeping rooms would be nice, and it needs a face lift out in front...I remember when it looked really grand...the food is very good and... more

spent a very relaxing night cheaply, $54 for a very clean room that was first booked with two twin beds and immediately upgraded to a double on check-in, and that included breakfast. Found the staff to very helpful, the food very good, the spa and pool very nice. A wonderful Grande Dame of an establishment a little faded with time... more
