8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Elkhart Lake that stayed in May 2011Property was in great shape, rooms were cleaned properly, breakfast was very good. The only complaint that we have is that in two out of three cases we thought that the personnel at the office desk could have been a little more friendly. When I checked out of the Dockside the lady at the desk was very pleasant and helpful. We will probably stay at the Dockside Waterfront when we return to Mackinaw City later this SummerThese comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from North Olmsted that stayed in April 2011Best Western Plus Dockside was very nice, but the pool was closed because of remodeling.

Upon my check in I asked where the workout room was and it wasn't available at the time. They so kindly sent me to the Hamilton Inn so my needs were met.

10 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Westland that stayed in April 2011My fiancee and I had planned to stay at the Best Western. However, due to remodeling, our reservation was sent to the Hamilton Inn Select down the street. The room we had over there was small but so comfortable and cozy. And from what I was told, it was a bit of an upgrade, which was nice. Everyone that I encountered in both hotels were just wonderful. I'm hoping we can make it back up in the fall to see the colors. If we do, we will stay with the either Best Western or Hamilton Inn. :)These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside WaterfrontHotel Customer from Winnipeg that stayed in October 2010An 'Outstanding' rating would have required a bit more enthusiasm, cheerfulness, glad to see you kind of welcome. I must admit we came in late in the day after a long drive (from Toronto, Ontario) so we were tired too. The room, balcony/patio and such were outstanding. The folks we met in Mackinaw City were the best! I'd go back in a heartbeat.These comments are from a verified stay
