10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Tybee Island that stayed in August 2016Room very nice. Had s complaint but manager very nice and accommodating. Front desk staff not friendly. They were business only. I'm from the deep south where we overdo friendly. Maybe a reminder to be a little kinder and friendlier. A smile with a warm welcome goes a long way.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Lake Orion that stayed in July 2016Location was our main attraction when booking however, we really enjoyed our stay at Best Western and will return for another visit. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Perfect short walk into town for shopping and restaurants/bar hopping (no need to use car while there). Breakfast was very good and offered a big variety. Our room was lakefront and on the 4th floor which had a smaller balcony/view than the lower floors so, the only change we would make is stay on one of the lower floors. The 1st floor rooms had really big walkout patio areas but, not all walked right out onto the beach (had to go out front door and walk around). So, if you want to walk right out onto beach ask for specific 1st floor rooms. The beach was very clean and had nice lounge chairs to relax and tables to set supplies/food/drinks on. View was beautiful. The indoor pool area was very nice but, we did not use. I was so happy to find this Chamber of Tourism site because I saved $65 a night on the room just by booking through their site!These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Hemlock that stayed in July 2016Hotel was clean, you could smell cleaner as you are walking to room. Housekeeping does a great job on rooms! Location convenient to downtown area, we walked to dinner each night. Pool area is nice, easy to get to. Lots of selections on breakfast buffet. We would definitely stay here again. My only suggestion is the beach could be swept or dragged a few times a week, like I have seen done at other beach front hotels.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Granger that stayed in July 2016I think that the Best Western Dockside is one of the best hotels in the area. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are very clean and neat, and the hotel location is only a short walk to all the fun places in Mackinaw. I will book that hotel the next time I visit Mackinaw City.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Gladwin that stayed in July 2016The hotel stay was excellent. We love coming. However, I booked my reservation in March. Then, the morning we were driving down (about 10 AM), I received a phone call that said that they had to change my reservation because the room I booked wouldn't allow the number of people I stated in my reservation. I don't know why your site would allow me to book this room with the number of people I was bringing and then the morning I'm checking in the reservation can be changed. I wanted lakeview and my room was changed to courtyard. I WAS NOT HAPPY. Fortunately, we were 2 less people upon arrival and the management was able to move us back to lakeview. I booked the room I booked because that's the type of room we wanted--changing it, especially at that late date, is NOT acceptable.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Bend that stayed in July 2016Good location, excellent view of the fireworks on the fourth, clean and pleasant room, housekeeping staff was excellent. Only reason not giving an excellent rating is because when we checked in, three clerks behind the desk but none paid us any attention until I asked for help. Then the one who finally asked if she could help was quite surly (sounded like she was from Jamaica). Another clerk stepped in and took over and was nice and helpful.These comments are from a verified stay
