Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Ronald from Marion stayed in May 2011

When the bathroom had plumbing problems it was promptly taken care of and we were given a different room. Room was clean and pleasant. The breakfast was very good considering it was off season and there weren't many guests. We would stay there again.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel
Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Wayne from Elkhart Lake stayed in May 2011

Property was in great shape, rooms were cleaned properly, breakfast was very good. The only complaint that we have is that in two out of three cases we thought that the personnel at the office desk could have been a little more friendly. When I checked out of the Dockside the lady at the desk was very pleasant and helpful. We will probably stay at the Dockside Waterfront when we return to Mackinaw City later this Summer

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Nicole from Lansing stayed in May 2011

The room was very clean and the staff helpful. We were disappointed that the "game room" was an empty room. The exercise room was nice, but two of the machines did not work. The room was great - bed comfortable and a wonderful shower with a lot of pressure and hot water.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Richard from North Olmsted stayed in April 2011

Best Western Plus Dockside was very nice, but the pool was closed because of remodeling. They moved us to the Hamilton Inn which was even nicer! Both hotel's personnel were very professional and made us feel at home. Thank you for a great stay in Mackinaw.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kellie from Fairport Harbor stayed in April 2011

I did not stay at the Best Western. Upon my check in I asked where the workout room was and it wasn't available at the time. They so kindly sent me to the Hamilton Inn so my needs were met. As for the Hamilton Inn the service and hotel was outstanding.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Anne from Westland stayed in April 2011

My fiancee and I had planned to stay at the Best Western. However, due to remodeling, our reservation was sent to the Hamilton Inn Select down the street. The room we had over there was small but so comfortable and cozy. And from what I was told, it was a bit of an upgrade, which was nice. Everyone that I encountered in both hotels were just wonderful. I'm hoping we can make it back up in the fall to see the colors. If we do, we will stay with the either Best Western or Hamilton Inn. :)

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront jeannine/john from Winnipeg stayed in October 2010

An 'Outstanding' rating would have required a bit more enthusiasm, cheerfulness, glad to see you kind of welcome. I must admit we came in late in the day after a long drive (from Toronto, Ontario) so we were tired too. The room, balcony/patio and such were outstanding. The folks we met in Mackinaw City were the best! I'd go back in a heartbeat.

For a hotel that was on the verge of closing for the season, the staff was still warm and inviting. And the view from the lakeside rooms, UNBELIEVEABLE!!!

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Wendy from Kalamzoo stayed in October 2010

This was the first time that we have stayed up at Mackinaw City. We went on the internet to find a place to stay. This place was rated among the best so we chose this place. The room we reserved was a two double bed with a lake balcony. The room was very clean and neat and the view was great. The complimentary breakfast was one of the best that we have ever had. From biscuits and gravy to sausage and scramble eggs, cereal, bagels, waffles and more. We would definitely come back again
