Clearwater Lakeshore Motel

When we arrived at our building the hall smelled like burnt fish. Gladly the room though it was tiny did not smell. The windows were loaded with spiders so looking out them wasn’t very pleasant.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Room was spacious and had what I needed. The fire pit and s’mores were a really nice addition after a day of activities. Super close to the downtown area of Mackinaw City. Nice breakfast offerings. I would stay here again.

Great clean property and great service, had a family suite and worked perfectly with the kids. In the off season but great price to!

The room was clean, the lock on the front door did not lock properly and we found that the door was open after cleaning all day. When we returned we found the door cracked open and the room was full of knatts. they came in and tried to vacuum up the ones that were in the bathroom. Bad part was that we were fighting knatts all night.

We chose this place because it had really good reviews for cleanliness which is extremely important to us. We checked in the lady was really nice we told her we picked this place because of the reviews. Upon walking into our room it smelled like straight mold in the face, the entire place. It looks nothing like the photos at all. There's not even a smoke detector in the room. You can see that it's been taken off the wall. Overall, we really regret making this choice because he wouldn't have spent this much money for a" clean hotel" supposedly to stay here. The bed was extremely firm and not comfortable. The bathroom is so small. You have to basically step in the shower or around the toilet to even shut the door. Overall, keep looking and try to read the bad reviews because I feel like this place has been pumped up with a bunch of good reviews that are not true. Breakfast was disgusting. If we had to do it again we would never stay here ever. Stains all over the bed sheets and comforter. Our car would have been a cleaner choice.

Room was nice and clean, we enjoyed a bonfire on the beach and smores. The view of the bridge was nice and breakfast was plentiful. Staff was very kind and always smiling.

This was a last minute stay during an unseasonably warm Michigan week. This lovely inn (why it's called a motel is beyond me) is right on lake Huron with a view of the bridge. The lovely beach is part of their nightly bonfire/ s'mores get together. This place is very clean, rooms are bright and fresh and seems to be newly renovated. It was everything we hoped for and then some.

Great value. Close to town. Breakfast was good. Would definitely recommend and will stay again.

We were hoping to see the northern lights so choose this hotel as the rooms are on the lake and face north. View was great! Room was a bit small and the bed squeaked a lot. The breakfast room is tiny and was very crowded. Food had a bit to be desired.
