Mackinaw City Clarion Hotel Beachfront

Very close to the ferry for Mackinac Island, the free breakfast was pretty good if you got there right at open.

Great location. Easy access to freeway and also short drive to the heart of Mackinaw City. Also very close walking distance to Mackinac Island Ferry Dock #1.

Room smelled musty. Cover for bathroom fan was missing and revealed gross clumps of dust on the fan. Dust all over the baseboards in the bathroom. Room 105

The hotel from the outside is perfect! The room and cleanliness was decent due to the room is dated as well as some parts of the wallpaper was peeling off. The customer service was unacceptable because the front desk employee practically did not know anything. We asked about the free breakfast that was advertised and immediately answered that there is no breakfast then he said he text messaged the manager regarding it. We later got the response from the manager sending us to another hotel for their free breakfast. We were disappointed on how the front desk employee responded with us due to he seemed like he did not know how to answer several of our questions and always answering with a state of confusion.

The room worked pretty well for the 4 of us, but my son was looking forward to being able to soak in the hot tub after his football game and there was literally a hole in the ceiling with water leaking into the pool, and the hot tub was super murky.

Like most northern Michigan hotels, the property features were a little dated, but overall it was clean and the staff was fantastic. We had a suite with a King/Queen/Queen which was perfect for our family of six.

Breakfast was less than great! Location to sheplers dock was amazingly close with a back way. View was nice. The walls were thin! Furnishings we're out dated. TV and remote had some issues. But for the price to stay on the water, it was expectable. Office staff was very nice!

Was disappointed in the condition of bathroom....sink drained slow, tissue holder fell apart when tissue pulled out (wrong size tissue box). The power ***** was unplugged so nothing worked (TV, coffee maker, microwave). Some black mold around bathtub....biscuits were very dry.

Accommodations and check-in was very convenient. Some updating and improvements of the property are needed. Ice machine in the lower level is horrid. Just some maintenance all around is needed. Price very reasonable.
