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!

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.

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.
