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.
