Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Patricia from Grand Rapids stayed in September 2017

The staff was friendly and we were upgraded to a better room at no extra charge but the rooms need updating. The fan in the bathroom was loose and not terribly secure and could use a new bathtub...it was clean but showed obvious wear

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Nevin from Dearborn stayed in September 2017

My husband and I were very pleased with our stay. The room was very clean and the view was beautiful. We really appreciated the wonderful breakfast. It was a great way to start each day. Having the discounts for the boat rides and different places was very helpful. One thing. Having a bigger sign of where the elevator is would help. Also covered steps going up to the dining room would be nice. Felt someone could slip on the steps due to rain. However that is just a suggestion. We will be back!!

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Carl from Ada stayed in September 2017

We stayed in late September, so not peak season. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast area also clean and well-stocked. Breakfast room is not large, so I’m guessing it’s crowded during the summer. Only one elevator shared by guests and housekeeping in a spread-out property. All things considered, we’d stay again.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Jared from Midland stayed in September 2017

Great rate. Room was clean and staff were attentive to clean the room during the day. Pool and hot tub were nice. Desk staff nice and helpful. Only minor thing I would change would be breakfast. It was good yet the types of hot food did not change in the 3 days we stayed there. It was sausage and biscuits, sausage patties and eggs. Maybe next time alternate it with bacon or ham slices etc. other then this the stay was great.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Barbara from Columbus stayed in September 2017

This hotel has a great location because it is close to the lake and downtown Mackinaw City and is quiet. The breakfast buffet is good. However it was freezing cold in the breakfast room. Our room was clean but the air conditioner made a lot of noise.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Abby from Onsted stayed in August 2017

This hotel is very close to downtown as you can get. The room was clean and the pool was warm. The hot tub was hot! The pool could use a good scrubbing on the tile. Check in was smooth and easy. It is a bit of a walk to get breakfast or the pool and you have to go outside to get to both. We had a lakeview and the beach was clean.
