Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Boles from Lapel stayed in August 2013

Clean, nice rooms. I would have preferred a hotel that had hallway entrances for the rooms - for security purposes. The breakfast was ok - we were served cold biscuits one morning. smb

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Leigh from Palmyra stayed in July 2013

Very clean hotel with very nice dÃ©cor. The staff was very friendly, the property well kept, close to everything in town, and the breakfast was wonderful. If I had one criticism it would be that the layout is a bit confusing and we were not given a map of the property when we checked in. We had to search for the breakfast room and the exercise facilities. Overall it was a nice stay.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Bradley from Yorktown stayed in July 2013

Everything was very nice and clean. The employees were all friendly. Free coffee in the mornings, always grateful for this. The breakfast was nice but could use some tweaking! I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Carol from St. John stayed in July 2013

The room and view were beautiful! The facility was very clean and had a convenient location. The staff was overall very helpful. The breakfast was only reason I didn't give this 5 stars. No fresh fruit at all, some items (sausage and sausage gravy) were cool to cold. The hotel and breakfast room were packed but only one person working throughout our stay. I got the feeling they were cutting corners here.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront mary from Jackson stayed in July 2013

The room was ready for us, and they let us check in a little earlier than what they advertise. THe breakfast was outstanding and very filling. Our needs were definately met. We walked to the downtown....great entertainment, and food. The cruise to the island was right there....no complaints about Best Western at all....

The business center needs to be updated tools available i.e. Microsoft office, abode, etc. I had to request that the front desk staff print off my baseball tickets. Overall, great room look forward to staying next year.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Larry from Monroeville stayed in July 2013

The hotel was exactly as described on the website. We enjoyed the wonderful beach. The location was superb. The breakfast bar was roomy, clean, and provided a great selection of items. Although we had no need of interaction with the hotel staff, those that we encountered were friendly and efficient. We have all ready recommended this hotel to friends.

I had limited contact with any staff of the hotel, just at check-in and check-out. Both were pleasant experiences. My room was clean and comfortable. Parking was somewhat of a challenge, but I managed to find a spot. I have stayed there before and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Donaldson from Nicholasville stayed in July 2013

I requested a beachfront view, and it was fabulous. However with it being on the 4th floor, I had to take the elevator. I felt the elevator was a bit secluded, and it made me uncomfortable in terms of safety.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Garrity from Sheffield Village stayed in July 2013

Our waterfront room had a great view and was clean. The breakfast was boring and not the best "complimentary" breakfast we have ever eaten. We liked being so close and within walking distance of most actiivities.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Douglas from Wilton stayed in July 2013

I rated this hotel outstanding because everything was to our satisfaction. The gals at the front desk were more than helpful. They were kind and courteous. The lady who cleaned our room did a fantastic job! It was always fresh and ready to go. The breakfast was wonderful! A great selection to choose from. The gal that tended the area did a great job making sure it was stocked and cleaned. The pool was wonderful as well as the hot tub. The beach area was kept clean. Overall..a great experience on our first trip to Mackinaw City!! Thanks

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront WILLIAM from Crawfordsville stayed in July 2013

Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean and everything in great working order. I would love to be able to have this kind of hotel on every trip I ever take. The breakfast buffet was a bit disappointment, can't complain since it is complimentary just seemed bland and mostly heat and eat precooked foods. Over all I would recommend this hotel to everyone visiting the area. Great job by all the staff at this location.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Amanda from Sanford stayed in July 2013

Hotel was great, location was outstanding, breakfast was excellent, the only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 was that the wifi barely worked, it would go in and out, and when it did work, the signal strength was terrible. Overall though, the hotel was awesome. Nice TV's, awesome beach, everything was in walking distance.

The Best Western Dockside was a perfect choice for our family of four - two parents and two older teens. The room was very spacious and with a balcony overlooking the lake it was wonderful! Will definitely recommend this Best Western to our friends.
