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.

Very Disappointed

Walls are paper thin and my room was across from the office so It was hard to relax or sleep. I was woken up at 2am from the old water pipes sounding like they were going to explode. Not worth it for how expensive it was.

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.
