Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Dayna from Republic stayed in October 2009We were offered by the staff at Dockside the opportunity to stay at the Hamilton since Dockside was closing for the season. We appreciated their honesty in letting us know that their pool was closed and there would not be a breakfast :) We did choose to move to the Hamilton, but am pretty sure the service at Dockside would have been just as great!These comments are from a verified stay75 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Chris from Ft. Wayne stayed in October 2009It was a great hotel and for the price we paid it made it even better.

It was great and I can't wait to stay agian.These comments are from a verified stay88 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
