Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel
Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Jill from Chesterfield stayed in August 2018

We had a wonderful time in the city. We had to change rooms because our request was not honored to be located by our friends. The room had a dehumidifier in it which I continued to empty the water from multiple times a day. The hotel was clean and a wonderful location! Staff was friendly. The hotel has great potential for meetings and large groups with their large group areas. The kids loved the pool.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Renee from Springfield stayed in July 2018

I chose this property for my family, (husband, sister and her husband, and our mom) for the 4th of July because of the suite that sleeps 6 AND was LAKESIDE. It's not in the middle of the chaos but we had a beautiful view of the fireworks from our beach side room deck. Room was clean and everything in working condition. When you walk in, there's a sofabed, and a nice size bed. Then there was a small kitchenette area on the right and bathroom on the left, which separated the next area with another big bed. Off the back room is the deck over looking the beach. The breakfast was a hot buffet breakfast. Oh, and Star Line Cruise is within walking distance. My family wants to come here again next year, but bring more family, (for more rooms).

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Terri from Coopersville stayed in July 2018

Nice hotel! Room was large with two queen beds and a sofa. It was comfortable. We stayed cool and had a great view on the water. It needed more outlets and a better breakfast- the breakfast room was miserably hot and out of too much.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Jennifer from Taylor stayed in July 2018

I rated this 4 stars only due to the fact, you could hear alot from the neighboring rooms( I could hear full conversations from the room next door) and activity in the hallway. Also on the website for the hotel we stayed at stated we would get water park passes, but they were not offered to us at the time of check in and when asked, they didnt seem to know what I was talking about. We did have a lakeview room and I suggest this as I felt like I was on a tropical island when looking out, but I was in my home state of beautiful Michigan.

We have stayed at this hotel in the past and I do like the location and the hotel is very nice and clean as well as quiet, I think it is a little expensive but I usually get a room with jacuzzi tub and beach front so I do enjoy it.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Edward from West Palm Beach stayed in June 2018

It was a very nice, clean room. The refrigerator was small but adequate.We had to go outside and up several stairs for breakfast. that was OK with us as the weather was good and we can climb, but that should be mentioned in literature before booking this hotel. they were very busy when we checked n and therefore did not take much time with us. As a diamond select member I would have expected a little more of a greeting.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Terri from Allenton stayed in May 2018

We were very satisfied with our stay at Best Western Dockside! Beautiful lakeside room. Great breakfast in a nice large room where the staff kept the tables cleaned and ready for the next family. Nice location within walking distance to local shopping. Hopefully next time we will have a longer stay and make use of the pool. I neglected to tell them that I am a rewards member. My fault, but possibly had they asked if I was a member it could have been taken care of at that time. I will definitely return to your location and recommend it to friends and family. Thank you!

My wife and I stayed here memorial weekend, 2018. Room was very nice. Breakfast was very nice as well. Stayed at an alternate hotel in Mackinac city the next night and was disappointed, plus I had to pay $30 more. I will be staying at Best Western if I ever return to mackinaw city.
