The Lodge has gotten a facelift with the new owner group. The appliances and amenities are still there but we really miss not having that familiar face in the upstairs office to greet us and help us with any needs. The new staff was very friendly and helpful, especially during the blackout, the choice of colors and new furnishings were... More

What an adventure! We stayed at the Pontiac Lodge over the MLK weekend. The fun began when we were greeted at the Arnold ferry dock as soon as we disembarked. Our host loaded our luggage on a sled and one of us got a ride on the snowmobile and the other stood on the back of the sled. What an... More

Just checked out this morning from a 2-night stay at the Pontiac Lodge. It was clean, well cared for, and in an incredibly excellent location. It is literally across the street from the Shepler's Ferry Dock, so no cab is needed. It is also right on the main street where all the restaurants and shops are, and a 5 minute... More

This was only our 2nd overnight weekend stay on Mackinac Island (Aug 3-5). We stayed at one of the resorts the first time, though very nice...this was much better for a couple with no kids in-tow for us. It is literally right there in town & regardless what ferry service you come in on... it should not be an issue... More

Pontiac Lodge is such a quaint, little property! The location is fanctastic, you couldn't ask for a better spot. Very clean and nicely updated. The pictures do not do any justice! Room 22 was so cute with a blue and white nautical theme. I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

This place is great! It was priced very reasonably and my room looked over the main street. The Lodge was with in "spitting" distance to the ferry, bicycle rentals, and a lot of restaurants and taffy stores. Most of all...the Bed was amazing. Weird? I have an account with Hilton and I have never given a review over a bed.... More

We enjoyed our stay here. We had a great view of the main street outside our window. The room was quite large. Loved having the wet bar in the room and the fridge. There is the hustle and bustle of the island happening at various times of the night which could keep up a light sleeper. It isn't bad. We... More

My wife and adult daughter and I were looking for a place to spend a few nights on Mackinac Island. This being our first time, I read lots of reviews before making my decision. Mackinac Island is not a cheap place to spend the night by any means. The reviews of others led me to book our stay at the... More

For our first overnight stay on the island, the Pontiac was a great value for the price and location. The accomodations, Rm 20, a double queen room overlooking main street was very comfortable, clean, and air conditioned. The staff were very personable and helpful during our two-night stay. Though our double windows faced main street, and also directly across the... More
