One shortcoming in my view. They lock the door to the breakfast room until the last minute leaving the guest outside in the frosty cold breeze. Very inconsidate.

The view on the lake was great from our room. Front desk staff were friendly. Rooms were clean but are outdated. The breakfast was disappointing. We arrived shortly after 7am in hopes of having something to eat before going to the island. Eggs appeared to be powdered eggs, pancakes werent warm, ham was like a piece of lunch meat (not warm either). Many guests agreed with us and just grabbed a coffee and a granola bar. There is a restaurant across street you get a discount at that has a breakfast buffet. We ended up going down street to Starbucks and getting a sandwich there.

Convenient location. Room was well stocked with thick towels. Friendly and helpful staff. Loved our balcony overlooking lakeshore. It was fall but we still liked that there was a beach where we could play right outside our room.

Overall the stay was great, Reservation process needs some attention. Was able to book a King room Beach side online, received a call saying there were no Beach side Kings available, only courtside. I continued to watch online and it showed Kingside beach room available for our dates of stay. Upon check in I asked for Beach side and was told it is not available even though the website still showed availability.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel Verified Hotel Customer stayed in September 2024

This place was great!! We will come back again. The room rate was great for all we got. The room's 2 queen beds were court yard facing the pool. Air conditioning was great in the room. Citrus bathroom products were upper scale for us. The pool was large and warm. The hot tub was roomy and hot, like they should be. The size of the pool hosted a large number of people easily. One of the best pools we been at. Then, the breakfast! Incredible. Large room for all the people, who were lined up before it opened. Great, fresh variety. We still talk about it. Fruit cocktail, granola bars, cinnamon toast, bagels, pancakes, oatmeal, cereal, hot scrambled eggs, fresh hot ham (sliced thin), juices, yogurt. The special toaster was great. The workers were alert, diligent, friendly. They kept everything filled and seemed to enjoy their work. Great atmosphere. Laughing.Housekeeper was friendly and prepared the room very well (clean, orderly, everything we needed). The wardrobe cabinet was roomy for our clothes. We enjoyed walking from our room to the Lake, and sitting on the provided chairs. We enjoyed walked to the area restaurants, which were close, on Central Ave, and walked the shops. We will return to Mackinaw City. We rode on Sheplers ferry, which was within walking distance too. Thanks for asking us to share what a wonderful vacation we had with you!

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Theresa from Warsaw stayed in September 2024

I felt the room was well kept and your housekeeping group kept up with the room and what we needed. I do believe there could be better up keep of your grounds, Im not sure who is responsible for that. There was enough choices on your breakfast menu but it did not change the four days we were there. The welcoming staff was great and helpful. We loved the large pool and hot tub, it was very maintained

Front desk staff always very helpful, breakfast improved from 4 years ago, hotel is close to Shepler's Dock. Rooms clean and well stocked, internet much faster than previous years. The update to wall electric outlets did not go unnoticed. Easier to plug in all of your electronics.

The room was clean and had a great view. Checking in was easy and I had no problems. The nice thing about this motel is that they do upgrades to their rooms every so often. I like that and we will keep coming back as long as they continue to take care of the motel.
