Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Sherrie from Mount Pleasant stayed in September 2018

Even though it was cold and rainy outside we walked to do some shopping and enjoyed our beautiful view from our balcony in our room. Loved how we were walking distance to were we wanted to go. The service was great. Only thing I wished we had were a map of the hotel of how to get to pool room and breakfast area.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Sally from Big Rapids stayed in September 2018

Room was very nice. Only "complaint" I would have is that I asked the desk clerk for information about the Headlands dark sky park and she knew nothing about it and suggested I look in the display of tourist places, etc. NOTHING in there but I found where I could get a tattoo!!! LOL. But seriously, it was a good stay and I really liked finding the room at the price we got on your website. Kudos.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Patricia from St Thomas stayed in September 2018

Hotel was great. We were glad we picked this hotel. We did have one incident that was upsetting on our trip. We and our guests went across the street to the Toast A Go for dinner buffet. The waitress told us they were giving a 10% discount that night. We paid the bill and not till after they closed did we look at bill again and we were overcharged almost 10.00 because we never got the discount the waitress said would be added. First thing next day we went and seen a very rude manager who got calculator out and admitted we got overcharged but said there was nothing he could or would do for us since it was the next day now. This is definitely not how any establishment should treat a customer.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront William from Ypsilanti stayed in September 2018

Our room faced towards the beach, and we were able to listen to the waves all night long since the door to the porch could be opened. We also enjoyed conversation on the porch with my brother and his wife, who came along for this trip. The hotel was perfect for making a trip to Mackinac Island, as it's within walking distance of the ferries. Staff of the hotel were welcoming and the complementary breakfast was a good way to start the day.
