Wow, what a little gem this place is! First up, the hotel was easy to find. The staff was courteous. Parking could be troublesome on the busier nights, GET THERE EARLY! The room was amazing, though a bit pricey. Very roomy, very clean, no smell, the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! I haven't stayed in all the mackinaw... more

Booked into a jacuzzi King Room. It was very crowded, stained wall paper in bathroom, tub bottom very scratched - needed resurfacing. Staff were less than poor - to the point of very rude. Breafast as cheaply done as possible. Washers and dryers broken. For a recently new property, it is my opinion, this hotel doesn't meet BW standards. more

Just got back from our one week trip around Lake Huron. I found the waterfront inn exactly how they advertised themselves. The waterfront Inn offers excellent value for your money compared to similar places we stayed at. We left something in the room and had a message from management on our answering machine when we arrived home tonight saying they... more

Postives: We felt that the room was clean and loved the view. Negatives: I agree with bats everywhere. The Breakfast was not good. Pictures on the web are very deceiving, the pool and breakfast area is not as big as they look in the pictures. Our biggest complaint was that we didn't get what we reserved and the staff were... more

We expected a good hotel but it just did not work for us. The room seemed not to get dry and was very dark. There were not enough towels. The internetspeed was not enough to do some work. Downloading an e-mail took a long time but uploading an e-mail was almost impossible. The breakfast room was not inviting. The offered... more

My two teenagers and I have always stayed at the Dockside during our numerous visits to Mackinaw City over the years. When I ask if they want to try someplace else, they always answer "no". We use it as the base for various day trips in the northern lower peninsula and in the upper peninsula. Its prices are not out... more

We stopped in without reservations and asked about the price and found it very competitive. My partner and I decided on a courtside view on the second floor. The staff was pleasant and courteous. Our room was nice and clean. The bathroom was clean with pleanty of towels and all the usual amenities. The room was a standard room but... more

After reading Trip Advisor reviews, I chose to stay at the Best Western Dockside. Poor choice. We stayed there from October 18 - October 21. I thought that this would be the best time to visit Mackinaw as I do not like the summer crowds. But, to my dismay I found out that Mackinaw starts closing up around this time... more

We arrived ahead of schedule, & our room was ready. The ladies at the desk were pleasant & efficient. Not overly friendly. But, did their job. Check in was a breeze using expedia.com. We arranged for a courtside view instead of lakeside. We saved $20.00 per night because of this. The lake does not have the most beautiful view. This... more
