Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Karen from Bois Blanc Island stayed in October 2022Someone broke into my cap and bed of my truck in your parking lot overnight. The lock is broken so I had nothing in it to steal. Truck doors were locked and they did not get in it. The window and back tailgate door had been opened and just put back up in closed position but not slammed shut. I got 500 feet down road and both slammed open. I thought a car behind me had hit me. Nope. Just tailgate and window falling open. That’s never done that. It shuts tight. We had not been in there. Someone else had been!!These comments are from a verified stay4 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Kim from Clyde stayed in August 2022Room was clean , most of the staff seemed very nice, our lock on our balcony door only worked when it felt like it I guess wasn’t worrisome as we were on the 3rd floor but should be fixed. I wish they would of kept the breakfast open longer as my husband went back for coffee & there was none I’m assuming they didn’t want to make more & the lobby was out also. Not everyone gets up early everyday either. Different variety of breakfast would of been nice then the same thing everydayThese comments are from a verified stay7 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Sandra from Seymour stayed in August 2022The location was great! It was right at the edge of town and had a nice beach right out the door. The rooms were nice and clean. The outside exterior of the hotel needs some repairs and paint. The attendants at the front desk could have been friendlier and more accommodating.These comments are from a verified stay6 people found this helpful.
