Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Deirdre from Okemos stayed in July 2017

The hotel had credit card processing problems for customers signing in on Friday night. The staff seemed confused and the way they handled it didn't seem very secure. But once the system was up and running, everything from there on out was fine.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kerri from Manitowoc stayed in July 2017

Our room was very nice, housekeeping was great and breakfast was excellent. Was great that everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. My only complaint was upon our arrival the front desk staff was not very welcoming or friendly. Not a good first impression. That was the reason for a 4 star instead of a 5

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Debbie from Livonia stayed in July 2017

Wonderful hotel!! It's in a great location, close to shopping, dining, and the ferry service to the island. The private beach is perfect for families. Our room was clean, comfortable & had a great lake view. Breakfast was delicious with a large seating area. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Mackinaw City!

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Josephine from Alexandria stayed in July 2017

I would actually rate our stay right between "Outstanding" and "Good". My one small critique would be the customer service at check in. The front desk person who helped us seemed to do the minimum to welcome us and answer questions. Subsequent visits to purchase tickets and to check out were very pleasant and the staff was very helpful.

My family and I stay at Best Western Plus Dockside in Mackinaw City Michigan every year, sometimes two times a year. Even though some of the other hotels are wonderful to stay at, there is no other hotel with the same feeling, great beach, wonderful breakfast bar, a great pool, etc,.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Katrina from Fenton stayed in July 2017

This was our second stay at the Best Western Plus Dockside in Mackinaw City! Rooms are nice, clean, service is wonderful! We love that they are right on the water but also have an indoor pool. They have laundry services available, great for large families on vacation! And a great complimentary breakfast each morning as well. Will definitely be back when we come to stay again!

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Denise from Eaton Rapids stayed in July 2017

For our first time staying in Mackinaw City, the hotel was perfect! There was a mix up regarding the card key and the actual gold key needed to access our suite, but that was quickly forgotten once we actually accessed our room. It was more than we had hoped for. And when we couldn't locate the ceiling fan switch, the front desk staff arrived at our room and located it for us. They were very courteous and helpful. They arranged for the ferry shuttle as well as assisted with the water park passes, while answering all of my questions :0) and the beach front for the fireworks was AMAZING!

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Devin from Green Bay stayed in June 2017

The room at the Best Western was great. It had the feel of a hotel on the beach being you were always walking outside versus walking through hallways inside. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a hotel in the area.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Sherry from Dewitt stayed in June 2017

Clean rooms, excellent staff. Only complaint is a report that our children were making a lot of noise preventing other guest from sleeping. It wasn't our children; they were in bed and asleep. We also heard the noise but did not complain.
