• Since the Best Western Was Closed Due to Renovations

  Traveler Rating:  5 out of 5 stars
  

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #15707 stayed November 2018. Janet from Dewitt

  Since the Best Western was closed due to renovations, our reservation was transferred to the Hamilton Inn. My ratings and comments are for the Hamilton Inn. Tim explained the process to change our stay, reassured us he will have all the proper paperwork ready when we arrive. And he did. Plus we were upgraded to a lakeside room, and our room was on the ground floor as requested, due to my husband having health problems. Great room, comfortable beds, breakfast was good. We'll be back. Thanks Tim!

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #15398 stayed September 2018. Sally from Big Rapids

  Room was very nice. Only "complaint" I would have is that I asked the desk clerk for information about the Headlands dark sky park and she knew nothing about it and suggested I look in the display of tourist places, etc. NOTHING in there but I found where I could get a tattoo!!! LOL. But seriously, it was a good stay and I really liked finding the room at the price we got on your website. Kudos.

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #15306 stayed September 2018. Patricia from St Thomas

  Hotel was great. We were glad we picked this hotel. We did have one incident that was upsetting on our trip. We and our guests went across the street to the Toast A Go for dinner buffet. The waitress told us they were giving a 10% discount that night. We paid the bill and not till after they closed did we look at bill again and we were overcharged almost 10.00 because we never got the discount the waitress said would be added. First thing next day we went and seen a very rude manager who got calculator out and admitted we got overcharged but said there was nothing he could or would do for us since it was the next day now. This is definitely not how any establishment should treat a customer.

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #15289 stayed September 2018. William from Ypsilanti

  Our room faced towards the beach, and we were able to listen to the waves all night long since the door to the porch could be opened. We also enjoyed conversation on the porch with my brother and his wife, who came along for this trip. The hotel was perfect for making a trip to Mackinac Island, as it's within walking distance of the ferries. Staff of the hotel were welcoming and the complementary breakfast was a good way to start the day.
