8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontChristy from Paw Paw stayed in August 2015We were pleased with the check in, friendly staff, room and general feel of the hotel. There was a bit of a problem with the water draining from the tub and the toilet flushing, it got stopped up the morning of our departure. When we called for help we were brought a nearly worthless plunger and we were in a hurry to catch a ferry. It was a rugged way to end an otherwise very nice stay.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontRosemary J from Howell stayed in August 2015The room was very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the lakefront patio every morning and evening. Walking distance to shopping, boat docks, restaurants, etc. Never used my car the three days I was in Mackinaw City. I will be returning next year and plan on staying at Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel again. I will request a third floor room this time just so I can keep the doorwall open all night without the worry of someone getting in. Enjoyed the breakfast every morning and loved the size of the room. Plenty of room for everyone without crowding.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontKathryn from Chicago stayed in August 2015Overall, we were pleased with our stay. The room was clean and well kept, and we really enjoyed the balcony and beach. A couple of small things kept it from a 5-star rating. First, the wireless internet was very unstable. Not only was it slow, we were required to re-authenticate a lot, sometimes as often as every 15 minutes. We also found the desk staff to be less helpful than they could have been. We weren't given clear directions to the breakfast space when we checked in, leading us to nearly miss it our first morning. The internet password was neither given to us upon check in or posted in the room -- we had to call for it. These are small things, but they meant that the experience did not merit an Outstanding rating.These comments are from a verified stay

-
8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontDavid from New Philadelphia stayed in August 2015The reason for good instead of outstanding was due to the room had a view of the outside stairway and wall. Also the sink drained very slowly. I did not report it until we checked out so it wasn't a big problem but it was a little aggravating. Other wise everyone was helpful and courtious. Would stay there again if we could have a room with a view other than a wall. Also the breakfast was very good and the location was within walking distance of all the places we wanted to go.These comments are from a verified stay
