• We Stayed There by Accident

  Traveler Rating:  5 out of 5 stars
  

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #16445 stayed July 2019. Sigrid from Los Angeles

  We stayed there by accident, but loved the hotel & the area! On the internet, looking for accommodations on Mackinac Island, it keeps switching to places in the CITY, without you ever noticing. That’s how we ended up in the CITY. And since we would have to pay the first night for cancelling, we decided to make it an adventure...take the ferry over and spend the night, have a good time, and then take the ferry back and find accommodations on the island for the other 2 nights. We love Mackinac Island and every year after spending a week with airplanes, and all the noise of airplanes, in Oshkosh, we fly over to Mackinac Island for the peace and quiet and the clickety-clack of the horses.... & brunch at the Grand, & a bike tour & a couple of golf putting rounds! PERFECT! Then we fly further Eastward, before heading back to Los Angeles... ✈️🐎🐎

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #16245 stayed July 2019. Robin from Catawba

  Room very clean. Housekeeping gets an A+. So nice to have enough bath linens for the family instead of the basic 2 sets. Bed linens very nice too. Breakfast provided is the best. Only small suggestion would be to have ac/heat available in adjoining king room. This room gets a little stuffy at times. Enjoyed our first visit to mackinaw city. Will recommend to friends.

  The room was great. The bathroom was small but in my opinion u r not living in the bathroom. The room was cleaned every day and looked nice. Also it didn’t smell musty like another hotel had the last time we were there. The beach was actually a beach and the kids had fun. I know it’s hard with as many patrons u have to give a variety on breakfast other than biscuits and gravy every day. That would b

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #16147 stayed July 2019. Alisha from Swartz Creek

  The location to downtown is great. Everyone at the desk was accommodating, getting us in early and on a ground floor (I asked for one due to a bad knee) when they didn't have to do that and then refunding a set of four tickets that we we bought but couldn't get to! The room was clean and breakfast was good. The only thing that I thought could've been better was if there were more chairs available for the beach but not enough to give the hotel a lower rating!
