Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Susan from Battle Creek stayed in August 2013I booked this hotel for an annual girl's weekend (myself and two best friends) not really knowing what to expect. The location was perfect -within walking distance to restaurants and all the shops in Mackinaw City. The room was quite large with a balcony overlooking the lake. We had a great weekend and all agreed the accommodations could not have been more perfect. Would stay here again.These comments are from a verified stay85 people found this helpful.

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Leigh from Palmyra stayed in July 2013Very clean hotel with very nice décor. The staff was very friendly, the property well kept, close to everything in town, and the breakfast was wonderful. If I had one criticism it would be that the layout is a bit confusing and we were not given a map of the property when we checked in. We had to search for the breakfast room and the exercise facilities. Overall it was a nice stay.These comments are from a verified stay78 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Carol from St. John stayed in July 2013The room and view were beautiful! The facility was very clean and had a convenient location. The staff was overall very helpful. The breakfast was only reason I didn't give this 5 stars. No fresh fruit at all, some items (sausage and sausage gravy) were cool to cold. The hotel and breakfast room were packed but only one person working throughout our stay. I got the feeling they were cutting corners here.These comments are from a verified stay81 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront WILLIAM from Crawfordsville stayed in July 2013Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean and everything in great working order. I would love to be able to have this kind of hotel on every trip I ever take. The breakfast buffet was a bit disappointment, can't complain since it is complimentary just seemed bland and mostly heat and eat precooked foods. Over all I would recommend this hotel to everyone visiting the area. Great job by all the staff at this location.These comments are from a verified stay75 people found this helpful.
