Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Elizabeth from Flushing stayed in July 2020As much as I paid for this hotel, I think they should have paid for our breakfast or gave us a bit off the room. Because of Covid, we had to go across the street to a restaurant that was buy one get one 1/2 off. I was very disappointed with the breakfast. The hotel was nice but the ceiling fan made clicking noises and the fridge was turned up all the way so all our food froze. We were on the 4th floor and I only found one elevator and it was a bit of a walk.These comments are from a verified stay20 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Chastity from Britton stayed in July 2020My family and I stay at this hotel EVERY year. The rooms are right on Lake Michigan, beautiful, clean, comfortable and close to the crossings and ferry. My only request would be to have a microwave in our room. We had lots of leftovers from the local delicious restaurants, but didn't eat them because there was no way to heat them up. This is the ONLY hotel we will ever stay at in Mackinaw City!These comments are from a verified stay25 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars
Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Gary from Ashley stayed in June 2020The hotel was clean and staff friendly for the most part. The girl at the front desk seemed a little nonchalant about helping us. Checking in was good and she was friendly. Only checked us in. Didn't want to process our package we bought. We bought the Family Fun Package. Told us to come back later. We did and she didn't want to help us and passed us off to another gentleman. He was great. However - no explanation of how the package worked. Just handed us the paper with the "tickets" on it. The paper looks like it is tickets. However, after standing in line for the ferry for 30 minutes we were told it wasn't a ticket only a voucher for a ticket so we had to go stand in line for 20 minutes to get tickets then again for 30 minutes for the ferry. We missed the ferry we wanted and had to wait almost an hour!!!! They need to let you know that that is what you have to do. It was not worth the small savings for all of the frustration it caused.These comments are from a verified stay21 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Chastity from Britton stayed in June 2020This is the best beachfront hotel in Mackinaw. It's on the beach and closest to the Crossings. The room is clean and recently updated. My only concern is that the front desk staff are not pleasant. They do not make eye contact or smile. However they do their job well, so I guess that's a positive. I will stay here again, as I have for the past 10 years.These comments are from a verified stay32 people found this helpful.
