Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Cecelia from White Lake stayed in September 2022

Love the room and beach front access. Pool area is comfy too. Breakfast worker was amazing keeping items stocked and room clean. Downfall is the meal provided was substandard. Breakfast sandwich lacked food-mostly bread, need variety of fruit- apples only. I will stay here again but venture out for breakfast.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kiley from Plainwell stayed in July 2022

The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and all staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect - walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and the ferries, and easy access to the highway to cross the bridge. We chose the BW Plus after reading other guest reviews, and we weren’t disappointed. Would definitely stay here again.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Henry from Greenville stayed in May 2022

It was a pre-season stay but the regular shops were open and that was good. The check in hostess helped us out by saying that some of the other things we had reserved were probably not open due to the weather and season. Did not think of that. That was a big help there. But we are retired and enjoyed just staying there. The whole town is full of memories to us from other stays. Good job!!!

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Vickie from East Liverpool stayed in August 2022

The facility was clean but was outdated and in need for an upgrade to the rooms. Also the breakfast selection was unsatisfactory. The selection was very poor compared to other hotels we have stayed at that offer a complementary breakfast with a much better selection of breakfast food.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kim from Clyde stayed in August 2022

Room was clean , most of the staff seemed very nice, our lock on our balcony door only worked when it felt like it I guess wasn’t worrisome as we were on the 3rd floor but should be fixed. I wish they would of kept the breakfast open longer as my husband went back for coffee & there was none I’m assuming they didn’t want to make more & the lobby was out also. Not everyone gets up early everyday either. Different variety of breakfast would of been nice then the same thing everyday

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Sandra from Seymour stayed in August 2022

The location was great! It was right at the edge of town and had a nice beach right out the door. The rooms were nice and clean. The outside exterior of the hotel needs some repairs and paint. The attendants at the front desk could have been friendlier and more accommodating.
