  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #13370 stayed July 2017. Kerri from Manitowoc

  Our room was very nice, housekeeping was great and breakfast was excellent. Was great that everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. My only complaint was upon our arrival the front desk staff was not very welcoming or friendly. Not a good first impression. That was the reason for a 4 star instead of a 5

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #13298 stayed July 2017. Josephine from Alexandria

  I would actually rate our stay right between "Outstanding" and "Good". My one small critique would be the customer service at check in. The front desk person who helped us seemed to do the minimum to welcome us and answer questions. Subsequent visits to purchase tickets and to check out were very pleasant and the staff was very helpful.

  This was our second stay at the Best Western Plus Dockside in Mackinaw City! Rooms are nice, clean, service is wonderful! We love that they are right on the water but also have an indoor pool. They have laundry services available, great for large families on vacation! And a great complimentary breakfast each morning as well. Will definitely be back when we come to stay again!

• For Our First Time Staying in Mackinaw City

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #13218 stayed July 2017. Denise from Eaton Rapids

  For our first time staying in Mackinaw City, the hotel was perfect! There was a mix up regarding the card key and the actual gold key needed to access our suite, but that was quickly forgotten once we actually accessed our room. It was more than we had hoped for. And when we couldn't locate the ceiling fan switch, the front desk staff arrived at our room and located it for us. They were very courteous and helpful. They arranged for the ferry shuttle as well as assisted with the water park passes, while answering all of my questions :0) and the beach front for the fireworks was AMAZING!

  The room at the Best Western was great. It had the feel of a hotel on the beach being you were always walking outside versus walking through hallways inside. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a hotel in the area.
