We had an awesome view of the ferry docks and marina. It was a relaxing location. The room was very large with a bedroom, living room, dining area, and kitchen. The only down side is that it was difficult to find, but workers nearby directed us to the room.

This is our third time on the island. We’ve stayed at some nice big Rizzi expensive places, but this place for the dollar and the location was absolutely perfect. You don’t have a nice foyer to lounge in or rocking chairs out front, but nobody’s gonna know if you use somebody down the street. Lol! We would definitely stay here again, especially if we made last-minute reservations as we did this time.

The Pontiac Lodge was the perfect stay for our weekend getaway! You approach it right when you get off the ferry. Check in was smooth. You do have to walk up a short flight of stairs to get to your room(s) but very manageable. Rooms clean, beds comfortable, downtown. Would recommend staying here!

Good location right across from Shepler’s Ferry Dock. Clean and comfortable. Large room. Only drawback, it was right above the busy street so with the windows open we heard people walking by until @ 2 am, and horse hoofs clomping by (kind of charming, but…). The second night with the windows closed, it didn’t bother us. I would stay here again.
