10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Hollister that stayed in July 2011Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were nice and clean. Breakfast was nice. When we opened the door to our room the first day. The maid had the sliding doors open and it was nice to hear the water and see the waterfront view. On the 4th of July we were able to just sit on our balacony and watch the fire works. It was breath taking. Parking could have been better.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Ann Arbor that stayed in July 2011I have stayed at this property in the past and the experience was as expected with the hotel. It is a hotel that I would continue to stay at for the level of service and accommodations. The one thing that was a little disheartening was at check-in and check-out. The hotel in both case did not check my ID or credit card to verify that I was who I said I was. I could have given them any name and they would not have known the difference. When a company runs a credit card for hundreds of dollars, they should check the ID and credit card for accuracy.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Calgary that stayed in July 2011The hotel is in an AWESOME location and the hotel service was really good.... however it did seem that for a best western, which we use alot, the rate was higher simply because of the location... nothing about the room or the service required a greater rate..... but we would go back.....These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Andrews that stayed in July 2011Had a great time and right on the dock for the fireworks. First floor accomodations were good but had to keep a close eye on our 3 year old because there were not railings and a 3 foot drop from the beach to the concrete. Other than that we had a great stay.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Flint that stayed in June 2011We have stayed here several times a year for the last few years so I can do the Mackinaw Island races. Rooms are always very clean and stocked with whatever we need. We did notice this last time we were there that the carpeting in the stairway landings needed vacuuming very badly. Otherwise, everything was fine. They have a beautiful continental breakfast. Staff is friendly and helpful. Leona HusemannThese comments are from a verified stay
