Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kenneth from Alameda stayed in May 2018

The room was comfortable, with good beds and nice chairs. We would have liked to have towel racks/rings on either side of the sink, as it was outside the rest of the bathroom and you had to go there to get a towel. The breakfast provided the same items as other Best Westerns, but we didn't feel the quality was as good. The "robust" coffee was not. It is an older hotel with outside corridors, but it is well maintained and we would recommend it to others. Good value for the price.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Jean from Troy stayed in May 2018

We stayed in Room 112. Loved the view and the room. We sat on the patio every evening. Everything was clean and everyone was so friendly. My friend did fall going into the room on arrival. The step into the room was difficult for her. She was okay.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Dan from Whitehall stayed in May 2018

It is not fair to the Best Western to provide an in-depth review for just a one night stay. But will we be back? Yes, we will; and we hope to stay at the Best Western.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Shelley from Brighton stayed in May 2018

The room was lovely and staff very nice. We only stayed one night, and we arrived late in the afternoon after picking our son up from college, so I'm giving it a good rating. Would definitely return during another trip.

Unfortunately due to weather we had to cancel at the last minute. The Staff member on the phone and the Manager were very understanding and waived our cancellation fee. We would book this hotel again for that reason.

The room was nice. the bed was comfortable. The internet didn't work very well which was disappointing. I love hotels that have those waffle makers. I will definitely stay again just because of that.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Gerald from Waterford stayed in October 2017

I enjoy the Best Western Dockside.. great location and nice staff. The only issue I had was that we were given a key to our room and it was not ready... the poor lady cleaning it had just started so we had to sit and wait. The hotel was not close to being full so that had me wondering why but mistakes get made. Other than that the stay was great.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront John from Holland stayed in September 2017

The motel has an excellent location, walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and the ferry to the island. Lakeview rooms are available. Our room was clean and had a small balcony overlooking the lake and the private beach. The receptionist we had was not friendly and appeared quite frustrated when I asked her to repeat her directions on how to get to our room and where to park. Had it not been for our negative initial contact with her, perhaps the dated decor and out of service stairway wouldn't have been so apparent to us.
