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

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kenneth from Alameda stayed in May 2018The 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.These comments are from a verified stay44 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
