10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Corpus Christi that stayed in September 2014Convience!!! at its best. Within walking distanace of ferry and town so once we were parked we no longer had to drive anywhere. Definitely recommend lakefront room. View is amazing and worth the few extra dollars. Also all your tickets to sightseeing can be bought in lobby at discounted prices. Only downfall was there is only 1 elevator and the cleaning crew also has to use it. So sometimes had to wait a while to get it.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Fort Wayne that stayed in September 2014It was a nice clean room. Perhaps a little outdated, but much better than some places I have stayed and I would stay there again. The front desk was not outgoing and helpful with area information but they were pleasant. Again, it was a good place overall. Thanks for your help.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Ashville that stayed in August 2014We loved the very spacious room with lake view. It was clean as could be. The front desk people were helpful in suggesting tours, a ferry, and restaurants. Unlike a lot of motels we've stayed in, there was absolute quiet. The TV was easy to use. Don't laugh, I've been in rooms that I never learned how to use the TV. Breakfast was great, and priced right!! I've already booked another stay at Best Western in North Carolina. I'll never stay anywhere else.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Cincinnati that stayed in August 2014Great location. Clean rooms and beautiful. Excellent view. Only complaint was the breakfast bar. It is advertised as a 25' bar which sounds like a big selection of food, but quality and quantity of the offerings was only average - nothing special.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Chesapeake that stayed in August 2014Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront was the best hotel location on the block. Immediate access (walking distance) to all shops in the downtown area. Morning breakfast was excellent with a variety of food choices. Rooms had ample space for a family of six. Only downside (and I know this is no fault on the hotel but Chamber of Tourism) - Maps showing the ferry lines are not valid. The Maps have the Arnold Line in two locations, North and South. There is no North location. The Arnold line only has the South location. We learned this the hard way by walking in cold rain, waiting, and then calling our hotel only to find out that the North location is not valid. The maps have not been updated.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Bark River that stayed in August 2014Our room faced the waterfront and it was very enjoyable to be able to leave our balcony door open and listen to the surf during the night. We had a two year old that was up from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. As a result we woke up at 9:45 and asked if it would be possible to have a later check out. When the desk clerk heard what had happened, we were given an extra hour for check out time. It was very appreciated. Our room was excellent and the staff was very helpful. We would recommend Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront to everyone.These comments are from a verified stay
