Pit Stop

We needed a pit stop in Mackinaw City and chose Clearwater. Its location is perfect. The view of the Bridge and Lake Huron is spectacular.

This place was such a nice, clean and relaxing hotel to stay at. The room was clean, smelled good, and had a beautiful view of the bridge. We enjoyed spending time on the small beach to end our day with a bonfire. They offer free smores packs to enjoy by the fire as well. We had such a great stay and will be staying here for future visits and we will definitely be telling our friends and family to stay here too.

Our stay was convenient to the downtown area and the pier for the ferry to the island. And each evening had fires in the fire pits and provided s’mores The only thing I would like to suggest for this property is maybe provide a place to park bikes during stays. Bike racks would be great for guests that are most likely going to the island and taking their own bikes.

Overall nice but but could be much nicer with basic maintenance attention (leaking tub faucet, loose floor tile, missing toilet paper holder).

The staff is A+

The staff was extremely helpful for all that we needed. There is a complimentary breakfast offered, but seating at the breakfast serving location is limited and rather cold. We suggest taking items back to your room to enjoy them comfortably.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were pleasant and helpful. The was no easy way to walk into town from the hotel because there were no sidewalks in the hotel area. The room was very dark. The beach and lake are not nice in that area We were supposed to pay on arrival but they called us in the morning to get our credit card number. Then we had to give them the credit card number again on arrival. It was very pricey considering the ready availability of rooms in Mackinaw City during our stay. The hotel parking lot is awkward and probably too small for all the rooms. Overall, it was a disappointment.
