Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront William from Caledonia stayed in September 2024The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. I requested a specific room and that was not a problem for them. We did not expect our room to be tidy up while we were gone for the day so that was a nice touch.The breakfast guy came around to our table to see if all was OK.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars
Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Rose from Alpine stayed in August 2024We had no prior reservation and were concerned about finding a room. My room had a hot tub as big as the king size bed in it!! This room also had a huge wide screen tv, refrigerator and comfortable table with two chairs. Room was more than adequate for my two days!These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel Verified Hotel Customer stayed in September 2024Best Western is our favorite motel - so close to everything and love the balconies on the lake side. We sit there often to read.Mackinaw City needs a covered shelter with clear curtains that can be lowered so visitors can bring chairs and sit and read or rest on cooler or rainy days. We especially love to sit at the Straits Park next to the bridge. We love to read, absorb scenery, and people watch.There's no place at the motel to do this either and the weather's not always perfect. Or at any other location in Mackinaw that we're aware of.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel Verified Hotel Customer stayed in September 2024For the most part, the BW was a Good Place to stay! The cleaning staff was very Good & Friendly & did their jobs very well! Most employees were very friendly & courteous! The main desk staff were for the most part polite & friendly although one bad person can ruin the others because of that one person who is definitely not polite or mannerly & just really rude causing a stressful environment among other staff members! This person was this way more than one day so it wasnt just a one day thing! The last couple days when said person was not there, the rest of the staff were very nice & accommodating & had smiles on their faces & were pleasant to talk to & deal with!These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel Verified Hotel Customer stayed in September 2024The hotel could use some updates, also the outside could use painting. Location is GREAT, close to the ferry and shopping and restaurants. Another plus is Sheplers Ferry shuttle picks you up and drops you off at the hotel. The breakfast buffet is wonderful, so many wonderful fresh choices. The beds were comfortable too.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Innana from Mount Prospect stayed in August 2024We liked the location with it being on the beach and walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the ferry dock. The hotel itself was decent, a bit outdated in places like the lobby, pool, and gym but the rooms were ok. The staff was very helpful and accommodating of room service requests. The only thing I would say is the bed and pillows weren't very comfortable but comfort can often be subjective, plus I'm already having some back issues so other people may find the beds/pillows to be just fine. I also wish that the shampoo/conditioner bottles were easier to squeeze out of the container as the plastic felt a bit too hard. Plus the bottles were very small, almost too small to grip while in the shower. Overall, it's a very simple and basic hotel that gives you everything you need to enjoy a weekend in Mackinaw/Macinac.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel Verified Hotel Customer stayed in September 2024From the woman who took my last-minute reservation over the phone, to the clerk that checked us in, to the staff who were cleaning the building and rooms, to the check out staff member, our stay was phenomenal! The best part was the cleanliness of our room and meeting the sweet Nickola who was responsible for our room. She takes her job seriously and wanted to ensure our comfort. What a lovely soul she is! Breakfast was also nice with many options to choose from. I found this hotel when my preferred hotel was booked full. Im so glad I did as this is now my preferred hotel and we loved room 319 and the view! Cannot wait to return!These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel Verified Hotel Customer stayed in August 2024It was a great stay for the price we payed. It was roughly $130 both nights thanks to the Chamber of Tourism. Is we had paid anywhere else, the same stay would have been $389 for one night. If it were those prices I would have been disgusted. Minor suggestion, try cleaning the bedrook doors. They're very dirty and sticky.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Judith from Traverse City stayed in June 2024Was a very nice room, liked the large bathroom. Plenty of room for use with walker etc. Only Problem we had was the bed was too high for us. My daughter chose to sleep on the couch which worked fine for her. My self I took on the challenge of the bed, which took me several tries the first time but then I developed a technique of flopping into it. Was nice and soft when I accomplished it. Ha,ha. A bit of a challenge for mid-seventy with severe arthritis that flared up that week...of course. I would certainly book there again.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kevin from Standish stayed in April 2024The stay we had was very nice and amazing the only negative thing is that People that do not have reservations has access to the pool through the back door I think the doors should have to use your door key to get in and the pool it's self was not that clean when we got bavk to our room ans changed we left our wet clothes in the tub we left and came back they stuck bad and we was only gone for a hour and we ended up having to put them outside. Other then that it was an amazing and great timeThese comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Traveler Reviews (151-200 of 2647)-
