  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #14347 stayed April 2018. Dave from Corunna

  Unfortunately due to weather we had to cancel at the last minute. The Staff member on the phone and the Manager were very understanding and waived our cancellation fee. We would book this hotel again for that reason.

  The room was nice. the bed was comfortable. The internet didn't work very well which was disappointing. I love hotels that have those waffle makers. I will definitely stay again just because of that.

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #14039 stayed October 2017. Gerald from Waterford

  I enjoy the Best Western Dockside.. great location and nice staff. The only issue I had was that we were given a key to our room and it was not ready... the poor lady cleaning it had just started so we had to sit and wait. The hotel was not close to being full so that had me wondering why but mistakes get made. Other than that the stay was great.

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #13994 stayed September 2017. John from Holland

  The motel has an excellent location, walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and the ferry to the island. Lakeview rooms are available. Our room was clean and had a small balcony overlooking the lake and the private beach. The receptionist we had was not friendly and appeared quite frustrated when I asked her to repeat her directions on how to get to our room and where to park. Had it not been for our negative initial contact with her, perhaps the dated decor and out of service stairway wouldn't have been so apparent to us.

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #13962 stayed September 2017. Nevin from Dearborn

  My husband and I were very pleased with our stay. The room was very clean and the view was beautiful. We really appreciated the wonderful breakfast. It was a great way to start each day. Having the discounts for the boat rides and different places was very helpful. One thing. Having a bigger sign of where the elevator is would help. Also covered steps going up to the dining room would be nice. Felt someone could slip on the steps due to rain. However that is just a suggestion. We will be back!!

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #13960 stayed September 2017. Carl from Ada

  We stayed in late September, so not peak season. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast area also clean and well-stocked. Breakfast room is not large, so I’m guessing it’s crowded during the summer. Only one elevator shared by guests and housekeeping in a spread-out property. All things considered, we’d stay again.
