Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Inn

When you go through a booking agent sometimes you don’t always get the best rooms or the best views. But when I booked I selected a balcony Lake Huron view and let me tell you it was PERFECT. The best part was getting up every morning, drinking a cup of coffee and looking out over the lake. The Dockside Waterfront Inn had its own beach right behind the property (not private). The hotel was 4/10th of a mile from downtown. Parking downtown can be tight so anytime we wanted to shop or eat we walked. Also, and this was a huge bonus, the hotel is only 1/4 mile from Shepler’s Ferry which runs to Mackinac Island. We walked to the Ferry and saved money on having to pay for parking.

We loved how much space our suite gave us as a family of 5! The wooden pocket doors between the bedrooms were perfect. Having the toilet and the shower behind a closed door was a good idea. The fireworks outside our room were a welcoming surprise!

The location was great and the room was nice but we had 5 ppl in a room and stayed 4 nights and our room was only cleaned once. The other days we were handed towels and toilet paper. Other than not having our rooms cleaned the location was great and being on the beach was a plus and a great view from our room! An overall good experience!

There was a wedding so people were walking up and down on 3rd floor deck. Outside vaping and smoking and talking. For some reason they stood in front of our room. Also neighbor next door kept going in and out slamming door. Room was nice. Hopefully you start working on the walls in bathroom. Need repainting or touch up the rust. One young staff person gal didn’t want to be bothered. Stay was fine. Great location.

Close to the ferry services over to the Island and many shops within walking distance. Staff was friendly. Nice pool although we didn't use it. The back of the hotel had a little beach area with a beautiful view. Rooms were large, nicely decorated and clean. Beds were pretty comfortable. We stayed in a queen room with 2 queen beds.
