10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Springfield that stayed in July 2018I chose this property for my family, (husband, sister and her husband, and our mom) for the 4th of July because of the suite that sleeps 6 AND was LAKESIDE. It's not in the middle of the chaos but we had a beautiful view of the fireworks from our beach side room deck. Room was clean and everything in working condition. When you walk in, there's a sofabed, and a nice size bed. Then there was a small kitchenette area on the right and bathroom on the left, which separated the next area with another big bed. Off the back room is the deck over looking the beach. The breakfast was a hot buffet breakfast. Oh, and Star Line Cruise is within walking distance. My family wants to come here again next year, but bring more family, (for more rooms).These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Coopersville that stayed in July 2018Nice hotel! Room was large with two queen beds and a sofa. It was comfortable. We stayed cool and had a great view on the water. It needed more outlets and a better breakfast- the breakfast room was miserably hot and out of too much.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Taylor that stayed in July 2018I rated this 4 stars only due to the fact, you could hear alot from the neighboring rooms( I could hear full conversations from the room next door) and activity in the hallway. Also on the website for the hotel we stayed at stated we would get water park passes, but they were not offered to us at the time of check in and when asked, they didnt seem to know what I was talking about. We did have a lakeview room and I suggest this as I felt like I was on a tropical island when looking out, but I was in my home state of beautiful Michigan.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from West Palm Beach that stayed in June 2018It was a very nice, clean room. The refrigerator was small but adequate.We had to go outside and up several stairs for breakfast. that was OK with us as the weather was good and we can climb, but that should be mentioned in literature before booking this hotel. they were very busy when we checked n and therefore did not take much time with us. As a diamond select member I would have expected a little more of a greeting.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Allenton that stayed in May 2018We were very satisfied with our stay at Best Western Dockside! Beautiful lakeside room. Great breakfast in a nice large room where the staff kept the tables cleaned and ready for the next family. Nice location within walking distance to local shopping. Hopefully next time we will have a longer stay and make use of the pool. I neglected to tell them that I am a rewards member. My fault, but possibly had they asked if I was a member it could have been taken care of at that time. I will definitely return to your location and recommend it to friends and family.

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Grand Blanc that stayed in May 2018Need to freshen up the rooms , before they get beyond acceptable. I've always enjoyed my stay at DOCKSIDE . squeaking floor above me was a little annoying. and dinette chairs a little worn and tattered ,ceilings showing signs of sagging (water damage possible) in need of painting. . . . . . .you asked I told you . . . . still 8 out of 10These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Alameda that stayed in May 2018The room was comfortable, with good beds and nice chairs. We would have liked to have towel racks/rings on either side of the sink, as it was outside the rest of the bathroom and you had to go there to get a towel. The breakfast provided the same items as other Best Westerns, but we didn't feel the quality was as good. The "robust" coffee was not. It is an older hotel with outside corridors, but it is well maintained and we would recommend it to others. Good value for the price.These comments are from a verified stay
