10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Zeeland that stayed in April 2013Enjoyed the room, staff, service, and breakfast. Need to change one thing in all hotels, please change the location of the waffle makers, in every hotel it holds up the line of the other food items. I've stayed at 5 different hotels in the city and everyone has a problem with the waffle location, PLEASE move it in a different location......thanks, and look forward to visiting Mackinaw city twice this summer.....

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Mason that stayed in May 2013Much closer to a 5 than a 4. It took some trial and error to figure out the jets for the tub. Comfortable bed, really hadn't expected room tidy-ed leading into the second night, but that was actually appreciated. Breakfast provided was good. Walking distance from the ferry and to the stores for my wife. Great comfort and value for the price, wasn't there as much than with some stays elsewhere simply because it was a working trip with the Mackinac Policy Conference.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Lowell that stayed in May 2013This place is close to everything and is reasonably priced. Rooms are basic but you have plenty of room for a family of four. Stayed in a two queen bed on courtyard. Considering other places I have stayed in the area, I'd have no problem booking again. In fact, I already booked my next stay in september.These comments are from a verified stay
