The lake view was beautiful. The rooms were clean and set up with coffee and a cold fridge. It was easy to access downtown since we were right downtown. This review is for Harbor Suites. We were upgraded from Pontiac Lodge to Harbor Suites once we arrived on the island.

Pontiac Lodge also owns Harbor View Suites which is across the street and over looks the harbor. The King Suite was awesome but a little hard to find.

Internet was good, TV was glitchy, air conditioner had a loud noise when in operation. The room was very clean, accommodating and comfortable. It was easy access to everything downtown. Our room was facing street side, so there was outside noise at night and could hear the horses all during the night. We enjoyed our stay on the island regardless.

The room was furnished quite nicely, but the room was very small and lacking outlets. Also, this appears to be an amateur remodeling job, as the bathroom door hits the sink when trying to close it. Aldo, there were noisy kids

Wrong description

Took my mother for her 80th birthday to the island.We reserved a two beds in a room and ended up with the room having a furniture change without our knowlege. A loveseat is not a bed. Mom had difficulty getting out of bed all night and moving around room due to this change. Told upon arrival that this was not going to be acceptable and all front desk lady said waa she would change reservation picture on the site. Told her again at check out and on the message and they did nothing but say sorry. Very disappointed. If you reserve two beds in a room you should get two beds. Had i known early on prior to arrival i would have gone elsewhere.
