8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Grand Rapids that stayed in September 2017The staff was friendly and we were upgraded to a better room at no extra charge but the rooms need updating. The fan in the bathroom was loose and not terribly secure and could use a new bathtub...it was clean but showed obvious wearThese comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Dearborn that stayed in September 2017My husband and I were very pleased with our stay. The room was very clean and the view was beautiful. We really appreciated the wonderful breakfast. It was a great way to start each day. Having the discounts for the boat rides and different places was very helpful. One thing. Having a bigger sign of where the elevator is would help. Also covered steps going up to the dining room would be nice. Felt someone could slip on the steps due to rain. However that is just a suggestion. We will be back!!These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Ada that stayed in September 2017We stayed in late September, so not peak season. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast area also clean and well-stocked. Breakfast room is not large, so I’m guessing it’s crowded during the summer. Only one elevator shared by guests and housekeeping in a spread-out property. All things considered, we’d stay again.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Midland that stayed in September 2017Great rate. Room was clean and staff were attentive to clean the room during the day. Pool and hot tub were nice. Desk staff nice and helpful. Only minor thing I would change would be breakfast. It was good yet the types of hot food did not change in the 3 days we stayed there. It was sausage and biscuits, sausage patties and eggs. Maybe next time alternate it with bacon or ham slices etc. other then this the stay was great.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Onsted that stayed in August 2017This hotel is very close to downtown as you can get. The room was clean and the pool was warm. The hot tub was hot! The pool could use a good scrubbing on the tile. Check in was smooth and easy.
