Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront HotelBest Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Hotel Verified Hotel Customer stayed in September 2023Our lake view room served our needs quite well - no concerns.On our first morning there, we needed to depart before the breakfast room opened to catch the ferry. We were especially pleased with the efforts of a staff member (didn't catch the name) that took it on herself to round up a couple apples that we could take with us.These comments are from a verified stay
