The pool has so much chlorine that my eyes burned after 20 minutes and I didn’t even go under. We tried the hot tub…. Same problem. My kids even wanted to leave after 20 minutes and didn’t argue.

Our room was the '2 queens' we had ordered, but they put us right next to a noisy stairwell and ice machine.

Staff are all very helpful and positive. Hotel is very clean and in good condition. Walking distance to a variety of things. More fudge than a human can consume in the area. Pool was down, but the hotel is steps from the beach and that's perfect for the summer months.

On both the Travelocity website and the Clarion website, it stated our room rate included breakfast. There's even pictures of the "buffet" on the websites. Only to find out they've discontinued breakfast and only offer an apple and a cup of coffee. They handed out coupons for two different restaurants in the immediate area. Instead of a "free" breakfast, we ended up paying almost $30 for TERRIBLE, COLD food. Room was nice, but need more detail to cleaning. Lots of dust on chairs, broken closet door. Individual entries are a nice feature. Travelocity website also states an elevator and there isn't one. Pack light in case you have to haul your luggage upstairs!! Super friendly staff. Pool VERY dirty so did not use it. Had a jet tub in our room, filter had someone else's hair in it. Can't say I'll rush back here...although, we did have a change in our vacation plans and they were very accomodating in cancelling one night for us. Nice staff but room needed more attention and needs updating.

We booked a Deluxe, 1 King Bed, Hot Tub, Balcony, Lake Front room for $700. When we arrived we found out it was on the first floor, and if we had the curtains open anyone on the beach would be able to see into our room. We asked to be switched to a room where we could have the curtains open without being on display to the people on the beach. We ended up in a room with 2 queen beds and no hot tub that was available on Travelocity for $515. We asked the hotel and Travelocity for a price adjustment. Neither was willing to change the price. Next time we're in Mackinaw City, we will not stay at the Clarion. In addition, we will try to avoid Clarion hotels in other locations, and we will look for something other than Travelocity for future travel reservations.
