Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel
Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Janice from Hudsonville stayed in September 2024

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.

Hotel was clean, everything in the room was in excellent condition, staff was polite and attentive. Perhaps most important, the hotel was very convenient for traveling to Mackinac Island.

We had a very nice stay. The hotel is close to everything, especially the ferry. The staff is attentive and cordial. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfortable, however the furnishings and decor could use an upgrade. Breakfast was plentiful and was well stocked. It was great for a one night stay.

When we arrived our room was not ready so the staff at the front desk assigned us another room right away. We didnt have to wait. We had a lakeside room- clean and it was a beautiful view. Housekeeping would ask if we needed anything. We would stay again.

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

The front desk was accomodating and knowledgeable about the hotel premises and local attractions. The linen staff was friendly and provided us with access to clean linens, soap, trash bags etc. All around it was one of the best stays I've had in my 40 years of traveling the great United States of America. I greatly appreciated the beauty of one of the remarkable cities in my home state, making our Honeymoon a fantastic adventure we will never forget. Can't wait to return!!

Our stay was fine but the hotel is in need of some updating. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our alarm clock went off at midnight and again at 2. Very frustrating. Finally, we unplugged it.

Good value. Great view of the lake. Very good breakfast buffet, lots of choice. This was an overnight stay on a long (16 hour) drive between Toronto and Minneapolis. Mackinaw City is about mid-way for us. The only minor issue with the hotel was the lack of accessible power plugs to use in the room. My wife and I each have a cpap for our sleep apnea and we had to move heavy furniture in the room so we could each plug in our CPAPs. Not a big deal, but it did show that the room isnt up to date for some travellers.
