Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Robin from Catawba stayed in July 2019

Room very clean. Housekeeping gets an A+. So nice to have enough bath linens for the family instead of the basic 2 sets. Bed linens very nice too. Breakfast provided is the best. Only small suggestion would be to have ac/heat available in adjoining king room. This room gets a little stuffy at times. Enjoyed our first visit to mackinaw city. Will recommend to friends.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Christine from Rochester stayed in July 2019

At first they didn’t have my reservation. Not sure why not. After about 10 minutes it was located. After that it was smooth sailing. We had a balcony room overlooking the lake. Very nice.

Excellent! I noticed all the hotel furniture is new and what amazed me the most was to notice a gentlemen washing the hotel siding and doors on hallways. Very good! Keep up the good work on maintaining the hotel clean! We definitely recommend it!

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Steven from Marysville stayed in July 2019

The room was great. The bathroom was small but in my opinion u r not living in the bathroom. The room was cleaned every day and looked nice. Also it didn’t smell musty like another hotel had the last time we were there. The beach was actually a beach and the kids had fun. I know it’s hard with as many patrons u have to give a variety on breakfast other than biscuits and gravy every day. That would b

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Alisha from Swartz Creek stayed in July 2019

The location to downtown is great. Everyone at the desk was accommodating, getting us in early and on a ground floor (I asked for one due to a bad knee) when they didn't have to do that and then refunding a set of four tickets that we we bought but couldn't get to! The room was clean and breakfast was good. The only thing that I thought could've been better was if there were more chairs available for the beach but not enough to give the hotel a lower rating!

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Cynthia from Almont stayed in May 2019

When the original room that I requested, wasn’t available due to the hot tub being broken, they quickly got me a new room at another hotel. The hotel was nice and clean and the staff was very nice. I’d go back to that same hotel.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kamaile from Zeeland stayed in April 2019

Though the hotel had just opened the staff was courteous and helpful. The staff was VERY helpful in letting us know that Mackinac Island and 90% of the things to do on the island were closed. They called to confirm for us that all of the venues we had bought a package deal for were closed except for ferry service. It would suggest that the Mackinaw City Chamber of Commerce - specifically note that the early season venues are closed. We are unfamiliar with the area and seasons therefore had no idea that venues may be closed. We were disappointed we didn’t go to Mackinac Island however greatly appreciated the extra effort the staff made to see if other venues were open for us in the area and they also made suggestions for things to see and do.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Janet from Dewitt stayed in November 2018

Since the Best Western was closed due to renovations, our reservation was transferred to the Hamilton Inn. My ratings and comments are for the Hamilton Inn. Tim explained the process to change our stay, reassured us he will have all the proper paperwork ready when we arrive. And he did. Plus we were upgraded to a lakeside room, and our room was on the ground floor as requested, due to my husband having health problems. Great room, comfortable beds, breakfast was good. We'll be back. Thanks Tim!
