10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Coopersville that stayed in August 2013We stayed for 4 nights and never had any problems. Our room was always clean when we got back from a day of running around. The breakfast was kept stocked and the area kept clean. Our boys enjoyed the pool area and the passes to the three waterparks. The only thing I would say is that the game room needs updating. We loved that we could walk to restaurants, mini golf, and shopping. Our rate was reasonable also. We would stay again.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 2013We enjoyed our stay very much. The hotel was clean and convenient to all the attractions. The elevator location was convenient to our room, however, it would be nice to have elevator access to the breakfast room also. And the elevator would be used by cleaning personnel in the mornings, leaving guests to have to wait. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning to Mackinaw.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Fountaintown that stayed in August 2013One of the best Best Westerns I've stayed in. They upgraded my room to a Jacuzzi suite which was nice but after sleeping in sub par hotel beds recently it was nice to find it was a tempurpedic. The room/bathroom was nice, clean--big flat screen and a clean remote. There was a breakfast included. Important to me-- there was no smell in the room. I hate the air fresheners they spray now in some.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Port Austin that stayed in August 2013I've stayed at the Best Western Dockside many times over the past several years. For my purposes, it has the best location as I'm able to walk to the ferry docks, shops & restaurants from the hotel. I always reserve a lakeside room & the view is spectacular. Hotel staff are friendly & rooms are very comfortable. I'm already looking forward to my next stay there.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Petrolia that stayed in August 2013We felt that the accomodations at the BW Dockside were fine but were plenty expensive for the room provided. We did some extra travelling in your area which necessitated us to stay an extra night before heading home. We stayed at the Clarion that night and were very pleased with the accomodations and price. We certainly hope to visit your area again in the very near future and next time we will try to stay at the Clarion. You have a beautiful area and we enjoy visiting it very much. Thank you for seeking our opinion on your accomodations. We appreciate your interest. Bill and Judy Baker.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Darien that stayed in August 2013The breakfast bar was not as described. There were very limited options and it was the same everyday. A "25 foot breakfast bar" implied a large variety of food options. The bar may have been 25 feet long but the food could have fit into a 4 foot area.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Palmyra that stayed in July 2013Very clean hotel with very nice décor. The staff was very friendly, the property well kept, close to everything in town, and the breakfast was wonderful. If I had one criticism it would be that the layout is a bit confusing and we were not given a map of the property when we checked in. We had to search for the breakfast room and the exercise facilities. Overall it was a nice stay.These comments are from a verified stay
