  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.

• Great Hotel

  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!!

• We Stayed in Late September

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel

  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.

  Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront #13856 stayed September 2017. Jared from Midland

  Great rate. Room was clean and staff were attentive to clean the room during the day. Pool and hot tub were nice. Desk staff nice and helpful. Only minor thing I would change would be breakfast. It was good yet the types of hot food did not change in the 3 days we stayed there. It was sausage and biscuits, sausage patties and eggs. Maybe next time alternate it with bacon or ham slices etc. other then this the stay was great.

  This hotel is very close to downtown as you can get. The room was clean and the pool was warm. The hot tub was hot! The pool could use a good scrubbing on the tile. Check in was smooth and easy. It is a bit of a walk to get breakfast or the pool and you have to go outside to get to both. We had a lakeview and the beach was clean.
