Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Donaldson from Nicholasville stayed in July 2013I requested a beachfront view, and it was fabulous. However with it being on the 4th floor, I had to take the elevator. I felt the elevator was a bit secluded, and it made me uncomfortable in terms of safety.These comments are from a verified stay59 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront WILLIAM from Crawfordsville stayed in July 2013Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean and everything in great working order. I would love to be able to have this kind of hotel on every trip I ever take. The breakfast buffet was a bit disappointment, can't complain since it is complimentary just seemed bland and mostly heat and eat precooked foods. Over all I would recommend this hotel to everyone visiting the area. Great job by all the staff at this location.These comments are from a verified stay75 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Amanda from Sanford stayed in July 2013Hotel was great, location was outstanding, breakfast was excellent, the only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 was that the wifi barely worked, it would go in and out, and when it did work, the signal strength was terrible. Overall though, the hotel was awesome. Nice TV's, awesome beach, everything was in walking distance.These comments are from a verified stay67 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Brandon from Grand Rapids stayed in July 2013Rooms were nice, beach was a great place to have family dinner on the picnic tables. Game room was 3-4 games that were very old out dated, but we weren't there to play video games. I would have liked to see a better gym. Breakfast which was something that could have been a big help to saving money was less than stellar. Only options were biscuits and gravy or sausage and eggs. Sausage and eggs were very generic, and not very good. The waffle machines were a good thing but with the other breakfast being so lousy it was hard to get a waffle made. They also then had numerous cold options too. Over all it was a good hotel if you are looking for a hotel. If you get bad weather and can't leave the hotel there isn't much to do.These comments are from a verified stay71 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars
