3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

When we first arrived the May black gnats were still thick so having a balcony wasn't a smart decision. This was our first visit to Mackinaw City and being June it was still a little cool. Don't spend your money on the balcony unless you come later in the season. I would book near the pool and office. The room... More

I stayed here for one night on my way to the UP. Had a nice view of the Lake Huron but in early May it was too windy and cold to be outside. The room had a king size bed and a sleeper sofa. It was comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. Overall it was much nicer than I was expecting.... More

Immaculate, well furnished room with balcony looking directly on Lake Huron. I would stay here again. HOWEVER, request a top floor room because you can hear every step that the person in the room above you makes! Ditto with door closings, showers running, tubs draining - THE WALLS ARE PAPER THIN!!! Such a nice place to be so poorly constructed.... More

Great Stay, service was excellent, rooms were clean and spacious. Great Breakfast. (Only suggestion would be to move the waffle station to the end off by itself to cut down on the congestion) Great trip, will be back !!

Spring for the extra $20 a night for a beach front balcony. It's totally worth it. Access to Lake Huron beach with beach chairs already set up. The room was clean with nice furnishings. The pillows are amazing. They sell them for $15 at the front desk. Layout of the hotel is a little funky. The breakfast room is on... More

Room was nicely furnished and comfortable, with good desk and recharging terminal for phone and computer. There was a large wall hung TV but the view was the best part. The desk staff were very accommodating. The included breakfast was pretty good in a nice airy bright room on the 3rd floor, though it featured powdered eggs that some of... More

We had room with view of lake. Small deck to sit and watch ferry's and other boats. Room was clean and quit. Nice breakfest area with plenty of room for everyone. Food was excellent. Just what we wanted for one night stay.

This is just a beautiful little town. The hotel is right on the lake. The staff are just the best, friendly, kind, and helpful. We stay here whenever we are travelling through Mackinaw City. Would highly recommend it whether travelling as just a couple or with family.

I needed a night's accommodation in Mackinaw City as my plane arrived late and all ferries to Mackinac Island (my destination) had stopped. There's a range of hotels to choose from in Mackinaw City but reviews for Best Western Dockside seem the best so I went with it. I got a room facing the lake and the morning view is... More
