Its a nice change to stay further away from the strip in Mackinaw...and for the most part I had a positive stay at this hotel..but the room I had must have all the pipes running thru it because at 2 am all we heard was pipes cracking and water running thru them.. But the view was great...beds were comfortable with... more

My husband and I have stayed at the Clearwater for a week every summer for the last three years. The view is the best of any hotel in Mackinaw City. The rooms are nothing fancy but very clean. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Our only complaint is the bed was a little fim for our taste. You have a... more

My two daughters and I recently stayed for three nights. This was the last weekend they were open for the season. The price was GREAT, and the facility overall was good. Only two minor complaints. No in-room wireless and although available in lobby, the lobby is not attached and closes at 10:00. Also, no microwave in rooms, although refrigerators. Pools/hot... more

What a pleasant surprise... everyone at the Clearwater Lakeshore and the adjacant GrandView were absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere is beautiful, the rooms spotless and the entire staff make you feel like they have known you for years. You are treated more like family than guests. I would highly recommend this gem and am looking forward to our stay there next... more

We have stayed at the Clearwater a couple of times now and plan to go back in a few weeks. The rooms are always clean, comfortable and reasonable priced. The staff always makes you feel welcome and willing to answer any questions you may have. My husband and I both love this hotel and it will be the only place... more

This was NOT a swimming beach or a beach for relaxing or playing. You could not access the water because of the weeds nor cold you even play or lay down on the beach because... more

We recently returned from a 4 day stay at Clearwater with our extended family. The friendly staff couldn't be more helpful. There were plenty of brochures/coupons in the office and tourist questions were answered by all the staff. Our grandsons, ages 6-8, really enjoyed the playground, which included basketball and plenty of green area to run around in. Beach campfires... more

We just returned from a family vacation at Mackinaw City, MI, we stayed at the Clearwater Lakeshore Motel. From the moment I made the reservations for two lakefront rooms, the staff made me feel like I was their only guest. I was travelling with two young children, they infromed me that they had a room that overlooked the water and... more

We visited Mackinaw City from June 19th - June 22nd, 2008 and stayed at the Clearwater Lakeshore Motel for our entire stay. This was our second stay, our first stay was in July 2005. The rooms are very very clean, and ours was spacious. Our room had two queen beds and a pullout sofa, and it was not all cramped... more
