Obviously being on the island, it's an older property, but it was clean and well kept. At the time we stayed it was in the off season but still enjoyed our stay. Conveniently locate right across the street from the ferry dock. I would definitely stay here again.

Great management! We went to Pontiac Lodge after the season ended and most businesses were closed down. The room was as expected - clean and nice. We originally booked for 2 nights but canceled 2nd night due to everything being closed (I should have done my research first). The owner/manager was gracious and allowed us to cancel and she was very pleasant. She made the hotel choice worth the experience. Much appreciated. I would stay here again.

Front desk staff were very helpful and nice. There are about 10 steps to reach the rooms. The room at night was not dark due to the outdoor lighting. It would be beneficial if room darkening curtains were added. The hotel is across the street from Shepler’s, which was convenient.

Weekend island trip
Check in was a breeze! We arrived to the island earlier than expected and were able to leave our bags at the hotel while we got lunch. The location is perfect; just across from the ferry dock. I would definitely stay here again.
