We loved our lakeside room! The staff were friendly and very responsive if we needed anything. We also loved the evening bonfires and “s’mores in a bag” provided by the staff. We would definitely stay again if we make our way to Michigan in the future.

A fantastic stay. Clean, well maintained, quiet, good location, nice balcony overlooking the lake with a view of the bridge. Breakfast was above average. They even had individual campfires on the beach with supplies to make smores.

I've stayed at Clearwater several times. In Mackinaw City it is located around the bend away from big crowds. It's quiet, extremely clean, on the beach with smores at nite, each balcony faces the Mackinaw Bridge for a beautiful lite nite view. Staff has always been friendly and helpful. For a quiet night to relax and enjoy the area, it's perfect.

This motel was recently updated/refreshed and the bedding was very nice. The room was spotless and we enjoyed the evening bonfire on the beach with Adirondack chairs. Staff was very helpful with information on where to order dinner and how to shuttle to the ferry the next day. Thank you!
