Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Delores from Bee Branch stayed in August 2021Convenient location! Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking is a little difficult but staff was available to help locate additional areas for parking. Rooms were clean and spacious. Our room had a balcony facing the lake with beautiful sunrises. I was concerned initially bc our room was right across from the elevator, however we never heard anything. The rooms felt very private.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Andres from Flint stayed in September 2021My DAD was found dead in a Best Western hotel in Texas back in 1984..i had sworn that day that i would stay away from Best Western ever since.. this year, i had decided to give up old grievances and give Best Western another chance..i have to say that it was the 'best' hotel stay that i have had in my adult life..the room was clean, and the outside view from the room was great!..the only small negative that i had was the room jacuzzi didn't work properly (the controls to the jets didn't function well, and the on/off button was already pushed in so far, that it was stuck in the 'on' position)..the maid, Jarrette did such a great job with the room, that i left her a gracious tip!.. i'll be back..i was told that i can reserve a jacuzzi room again in October 2021 for the same event next year..(im smiling)...These comments are from a verified stay3 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Beverlty from Albion stayed in September 2021Room very clean and tidy. Disappointed there is no hot breakfast yet. Hotels in Traverse City did offer a hot breakfast. My thought is maybe these hotels (including those on Mackinaw Island) will not offer the breakfasts again for it will be more profitable for them not toThese comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Karen from Belding stayed in September 2021A wonderful place to stay on my birthday! Our room was clean, the view of Lake Huron was beautiful, and the staff was knowledgeable and efficient. I thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub-soooo nice! My only complaints have more to do with the amenities that were limited due to the pandemic, completely out of control of the hotel. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and I look forward to coming back again one day soon. My thanks to the staff. KarenThese comments are from a verified stay2 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Joan from Stevensville stayed in August 2021The room was nice and clean. However, the air conditioner had black spots on the plastic vent slats (mold, I assume). I went to the front desk to tell about it and a housekeeper was sent within 5-10 minutes. He wiped the vents with a rag but then got some "lysol" spray to spray in the air conditioner and the vents. He wiped the filters with his towel also, although they still needed more cleaning. Please pay more attention to the air conditioner/heater units! The breakfast was good considering covid times.These comments are from a verified stay5 people found this helpful.
