Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Jeffrey from Mason stayed in May 2013Much closer to a 5 than a 4. It took some trial and error to figure out the jets for the tub. Comfortable bed, really hadn't expected room tidy-ed leading into the second night, but that was actually appreciated. Breakfast provided was good. Walking distance from the ferry and to the stores for my wife. Great comfort and value for the price, wasn't there as much than with some stays elsewhere simply because it was a working trip with the Mackinac Policy Conference.These comments are from a verified stay73 people found this helpful.
