8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Caledonia that stayed in July 2015The room was not ready when we arrived at 3:30 pm, on July 16, although I did confirm the reservation the day prior to our arrival and told the hotel staff that we would arrive by 3:00 pm. Half of the suite was being cleaned for at least 30 minutes after we arrived. The accomodations were outstanding. It is unfortunate we had the inconvenience, otherwise I would rate it as outstanding.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Columbia City that stayed in July 2015Best Western Plus rooms we normal size rooms and very clean. The breakfast had warm and cold food and plenty of seats and tables. The private lake front balcony's were nice but small. I would stay bottom to top on any lake front rooms. All had different advantages. Hotel is in a nice location if you want to get out and walk. I would stay here again.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Jonesborough that stayed in July 2015This is the 3rd year in row I have stayed here, all of these stays were pleasant. The Best Western-Dockside in Mackinaw City is always clean and has a friendly staff. I do wish that the Admiral's Table Restaurant was still open across the street from the hotel. They had great tasting walleye. Now I have to drive across the bridge to the Galley Restaurant in St. Ignace to get great tasting lake fish.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Eagan that stayed in July 2015The room was lovely, super clean and presented well at first site. Front desk staff were polite and very helpful. The breakfast space was nice and big. But I will say, I expected more choices with the way it was advertised. It was basic hotel choices; waffles, cereal, biscuits, gravy. But just spread out on a longer "bar". Overall, it was a great place. Nice beach area too.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Lebanon that stayed in June 2015The location was excellent, the staff was helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was delicious! We LOVED the package deal, and with one exception everything worked perfectly! The exception: we did not realize that the coupon for the trolley tour of Mackinaw City was not the trolley tour that was directly across the street from the Best Western. That company ( the one across the street) honored our coupon, but we had to pay an additional $4. We suggest a more detailed explanation for this particular part of the package.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Swartz Creek that stayed in June 2015Every thing was great including all the help they gave every time a question came up. The only thing was the breakfast, it was biscuts and gravy every morning. I know it had cereal and waffles but scrambled eggs/bacon or something would have been nice for a change. We were there for 3 morning meals. The breakfast was good and the worker was really good doing it all on her won she was running all over cleaning, filling, helping, she probabley could use some help. I will be returning again. It was a nice place.These comments are from a verified stay
