If you are expecting the Plaza, you will be disappointed, but if you are expecting an average hotel, you will be delighted. It had the nice bedding with no yucky comforter. It was right on the lake, and since our room was a two room suite, we had windows on three sides and could see the bridge from our balcony... more

Our party rented 5 rooms for a high school "get together". We stayed 2 nights and had a terrific time. We were impressed with not only the lovely, clean, and newly decorated rooms, but also with the management and staff. We were always greeted with a smile and a willingness to be of help. The rooms were very clean. Ours... more

I'm not sure where these reviewers have been previously, but we were quite disappointed with the beachfront. The photo shown is the entire beachfront, all tidied up for the picture. The beachfront is probably 50-ft. wide TOTAL. They do not take care of it - there are swamps on either side and lots of big rocks. There is nothing there... more

This was a very nice hotel. Went with a group - Dave was very helpful. I'll plan to go to Mackinaw again soon and will definitely stay at the Clarion. Hotel grounds were clean, housekeeping did a great job and I thought the breakfast buffet was very nice. The waffle stations got a little busy, but it only takes 2... more

Beautiful Hotel for the price. Rooms are clean, nicely furnished. Ours had a microwave, mini fridge, balcony with view of the lake. The only downside is that it is at the south end of the main strip. This makes it the furthest to walk, but that didn't bother us. Nice pool, lots of parking. Easy to access from I 75. more

The hotel somehow got our info mixed-up and had us down for 2 adults only, but we had 2 "late teens" along. The room they gave us was a room that looked as though it had been a large utility closet at one time. I talked to the front desk and they said they would move our stuff the next... more

I spent 4 nights in a room with a lake view and would highly recomend it. They upgraded me for a very reasonable rate per night and the view was great. The front desk staff was very pleasant and the rooms were very nice. The breakfast was OK although they could have added some fresh fruit. The pool was nice... more

I recently stayed at the Clarion with my boyfriend and father and I thought it was a great deal for how much we paid. The room was only 140 and we got a room with a King and 2 Queen sized beds which was perfect! Like others have said the location was great and within walking distance from the ferry... more

I always depend on TripAdvisor to help find a place to stay. This hotel was o.k. for the money. Not great. We stayed there for the location which was great, within walking distance from the ferry to the Island and to Mackinaw Crossing and mini golf. The room had modern conveniences, like a hottub, but if you weren't on the... more
