Harbor Place Studio Suites

Decided to stay on the island for just one night. Previous stays have included 10 different stays multi night stays including at the Grand Hotel, at the Metivier Inn and the Bayview Bed and Breakfast. The Pontiac was the least expensive option for a Wednesday night towards the end of September, when we reserved it in March! $220 for the 3 of us--could have slept 4 as the single had a trundle. Bathroom was super clean and shower nice and hot. Room a bit small for 3, but 2 chairs (no cushions) and other furnishings were in good condition and updated. It was the only room at the Pontiac still available when we made the reservation. I kept checking for a special at the Grand, with no luck this trip. After reading reviews of the Pontiac, we had some hesitation due to reports of noise on Main Street, where it is located. But due to the time of year, not the typical noisy, college age crowds, after day trippers leave rowdy-ness typical on main street at night. But figured that the big minus of our room--no windows!! --just a skylight-- might be an advantage for sleeping. For whichever reason, we had a quiet, peaceful sleep in a room directly across from Shepler's ferry, and the bike rental shops. Note that checkin is at an office which is open til 6 pm and after that, no one available. Rooms accessible after 4pm or when they call you. That could be inconvenient unless you plan to be back downtown during that time frame. Due to less busy time of year, they did keep our suitcase in the office (just for this night we shared one case with stuff for one night, leaving our suitcases in the car at the ferry lot), so that was helpful. Might stay again if I was again on a tight budget.

Right in the downtown village - great location! Bed was comfortable, bathroom facility and towels very good. Check-in after office was closed for the day was easy, thanks to a lock box that contained the room keys, for which we received a code. Building entrance to rooms is outside, and requires climbing stairs, so if you have trouble climbing stairs, this wouldn’t be the hotel for you. Very reasonable rate. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, a very good choice!

Good. Not great. Pretty much a place to sleep but nothing special. Room was clean enough and perfect proximity to the main stretch and the park area. Pretty much served it’s purpose.check in process was smooth. Close to several shops, restaurants, and bars.

This was our first time on the island. I chose the Pontiac Lodge based on its location. We were really happy! We were in a Basic Double Room and it was quite spacious. The bathroom was really small though. Check-in was easy. Our room was ready early (yay!), so we didn't need them to hold our luggage. But they did offer, if we'd needed it. They do take their cleaning seriously. There was a VERY strong smell of Pine Sol - so if you're sensitive to that, you might want to give them a heads up. It was a bit overwhelming - esp when it was still there hours & hours after we'd checked in. But hey, clean!

Our room #20 was very nice and large, with a nice wetbar area and beautiful bathroom. It wasright on the street which might be loud when really busy in peak season. Perfect for October!! This hotel has rooms on 2nd floor only via stairs. There is ice and vendi g machines as well. Very clean. .

What a lovely place to stay in the off season! I had one of the king rooms with a big whirlpool. Service was friendly and we had everything we needed except some silverware for takeout. Otherwise, the island was so calm and relaxing compared to the busy summer season
