Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kathy from Midlang stayed in September 2011The room was exceptional. The front desk personnel were exceptional in that they explained everything so that it was understood and if you didn't understand was not irritated if you ask again. The rooms were clean and fresh. I have been to Mackinaw City several times, and this has to be my number one experience with my family. Thanks for the chance to have fun with my girls.These comments are from a verified stay73 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Mary from Menominee stayed in September 2011We've stayed at the Dockside many times throughout the years. We tried another motel one year and went back to Dockside. The rooms are wonderful; clean, comfortable and spacious. The people, from the desk clerks to the cleaning staff, are friendly and helpful. As long as we go to Mackinaw City, we will continue to stay at the Dockside.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Anne from Okemos stayed in August 2011Our lakeview, first floor room was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated in an upscale way that made it compare favorably with much pricier hotels (we recently stayed at the Omni Shoreham in DC). Minor complaints were lack of space between the bed closest to the bathroom and the wall and a moldy soap wrapper which the maid took care of when informed. She even left extra soap! Super view and beach. Biggest complaint was standard GFS/Sysco breakfast with no fresh fruit. Some kid of nice "signature" dish should be considered. Would stay again.These comments are from a verified stay79 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront John from Sudbury stayed in August 2011Room was clean when we arrived and the view better than expected. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was very nice. The only item that wasn't up to our expectation was how long it took to clean the room each day, it was often late in the day before it was cleaned. Other than that we were very satifisfied and will be back again.These comments are from a verified stay66 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Wendy from Lake Orion stayed in August 2011We liked this hotel! It certainly fit our needs and was plenty clean. It had an "up-north" feel to it, which was fine since we were up north. I just felt it was a tad bit overpriced. The parking was also challenging, especially arriving late at night. Overall, we were pleased and would, perhaps, stay there again.These comments are from a verified stay70 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars
