The lake view was beautiful. The rooms were clean and set up with coffee and a cold fridge. It was easy to access downtown since we were right downtown. This review is for Harbor Suites. We were upgraded from Pontiac Lodge to Harbor Suites once we arrived on the island.

Pontiac Lodge also owns Harbor View Suites which is across the street and over looks the harbor. The King Suite was awesome but a little hard to find.

Internet was good, TV was glitchy, air conditioner had a loud noise when in operation. The room was very clean, accommodating and comfortable. It was easy access to everything downtown. Our room was facing street side, so there was outside noise at night and could hear the horses all during the night. We enjoyed our stay on the island regardless.
