Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Erin from Toledo stayed in August 2025The hotel was in a great location & we loved being right on the beach. The bedding & towels were clean but the rest of the room wasnt as clean- the walls were noticeably dirty & the shower faucets didnt look very clean. That said, for the price & location, it was a good deal & we enjoyed our stay. The pool was cloudy but you can swim in the lake. The employee in the front office was super friendly & helpful.These comments are from a verified stay

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Joan from Stevensville stayed in August 2025This hotel was quiet and clean. It's in a good location. We did not use the pool so are unsure of what it was like. The breakfast was pretty good including ham, pancakes, muffins, boiled eggs, yogurt, bread. The furnishings are a bit dated but ok.

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Alex from Maineville stayed in June 2025The price and the view were wonderful! The service was friendly and great. The proximity to the ferry was awesome! We had pizza delivered to the room from a local pizzaria and it was so good! The hotel breakfast was good, and they offered decent selections, but parts of the room and the pool looked like they were needing or were in the middle of some sprucing up. I plan to be back!These comments are from a verified stay2 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Wendy from Painesville stayed in August 2025The room was nice. The outside of the property ( outside the doors, stairwells, ice machine was dirty). Beach was nice. Walking distance to the Arnold ferry which was nice that we didnt have to pay for parking. Laundry was down so we had to do it at the Hamilton down the street. Wish it could be no smoking on the whole property. There was someone in the parking lot at 6:15 am and in the evening smoking marijuana and ruins the whole ambiance. I realize it is legal now but I am sure there can be restrictions placed on where families gather. Breakfast was nice , clean. Price was very good. The housekeepers were very helpful!!!These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Melissa from Byron Center stayed in July 2025It was a great location, close to everything. Arnold Ferry dock was within walking distance. Breakfast was pretty good. Some updates would go a long way...fresh coat of paint, updated decor, one of lamp shades broken/falling off. Beach/water view was nice! Beach chairs not in best condition and fire pits full of trash. Sad that people can't be more respectful of property as well. Overall was decent place to stay.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars
Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Kristen from Valparaiso stayed in July 2025Wonderful location, great amenities, loved the beach set up and the room set up. Only thing keeping it from a 5 is the room at check in wasn't the cleanest, bathroom had hairs all over floor, but rooms and beds were clean. The beach area could be neater. I would return just areas that need some attentionThese comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Clarion Hotel BeachfrontClarion Hotel Beachfront Eric from Shelby Township stayed in July 2025The room was clean, fresh and comfortably large. We enjoyed the view of Lake Huron from our balcony. The fire pits and ample chase lounges on the beach were a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was basic and could be added to for a healthier offering instead of mostly carbs. We would recommend this hotel.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars
