Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Rosemary J from Howell stayed in August 2015The room was very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the lakefront patio every morning and evening. Walking distance to shopping, boat docks, restaurants, etc. Never used my car the three days I was in Mackinaw City. I will be returning next year and plan on staying at Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel again. I will request a third floor room this time just so I can keep the doorwall open all night without the worry of someone getting in. Enjoyed the breakfast every morning and loved the size of the room. Plenty of room for everyone without crowding.These comments are from a verified stay114 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars
Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kathryn from Chicago stayed in August 2015Overall, we were pleased with our stay. The room was clean and well kept, and we really enjoyed the balcony and beach. A couple of small things kept it from a 5-star rating. First, the wireless internet was very unstable. Not only was it slow, we were required to re-authenticate a lot, sometimes as often as every 15 minutes. We also found the desk staff to be less helpful than they could have been. We weren't given clear directions to the breakfast space when we checked in, leading us to nearly miss it our first morning. The internet password was neither given to us upon check in or posted in the room -- we had to call for it. These are small things, but they meant that the experience did not merit an Outstanding rating.These comments are from a verified stay111 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront David from New Philadelphia stayed in August 2015The reason for good instead of outstanding was due to the room had a view of the outside stairway and wall. Also the sink drained very slowly. I did not report it until we checked out so it wasn't a big problem but it was a little aggravating. Other wise everyone was helpful and courtious. Would stay there again if we could have a room with a view other than a wall. Also the breakfast was very good and the location was within walking distance of all the places we wanted to go.These comments are from a verified stay128 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Donald from Jonesborough stayed in July 2015This is the 3rd year in row I have stayed here, all of these stays were pleasant. The Best Western-Dockside in Mackinaw City is always clean and has a friendly staff. I do wish that the Admiral's Table Restaurant was still open across the street from the hotel. They had great tasting walleye. Now I have to drive across the bridge to the Galley Restaurant in St. Ignace to get great tasting lake fish.These comments are from a verified stay91 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hollie from Eagan stayed in July 2015The room was lovely, super clean and presented well at first site. Front desk staff were polite and very helpful. The breakfast space was nice and big. But I will say, I expected more choices with the way it was advertised. It was basic hotel choices; waffles, cereal, biscuits, gravy. But just spread out on a longer "bar". Overall, it was a great place. Nice beach area too.These comments are from a verified stay91 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars
