The location is perfect since it is directly across the street from Sheplers dock, it’s in the center of town and right on Main st. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Will probably stay again.

The room, 20, was clean, updated, and spacious. The only complaint was the bed nearest to the sink squeaked every time I moved during the night.

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.

Unfortunately we had no WiFi. Staff couldn’t explain why…only thing we found a bummer. Everything else was fine. Couldn’t get any more convenient to the ferry docks. Glad we beat the summer rush. Weather cooperated for the most part. Great trip!
