Hotel Iroquois

We stayed in the Marina View Deluxe King on the third floor, and the views were beautiful, especially with the fall leaves on October 19-20, 2025. From the room we could see the fort, docks, and little houses up on the hill. We could hear boats now and then because of the marina nearby, but the ferries stop running around 6 pm, so we had no nighttime noise from them. I don’t remember seeing it on our earlier visit, and I’m not sure if it’s specific to this room, but the bathroom had a Dyson hairdryer. The bathroom itself is on the small side, though the shower and counter had plenty of space for makeup and toiletries. Keep in mind it’s a third-floor walk-up, with two flights of stairs and, as far as I know, no elevator. Hotel Iroquois is charming inside and out, and it’s easy to reach Main Street and nearby restaurants. We hadn’t been back in more than three years, and it felt even nicer this time. The place was clean, with a turndown service that left chocolates on the pillows. There’s a complimentary breakfast in the dining room, and the porter service is included. At the mainland ferry, staff give you tags for your bags, which are then taken all the way to your room, so you don’t have to carry luggage onto the ferry. We tipped $5 for three bags. The TVs in the bedrooms also looked bigger than the ones I remember seeing in older Google Maps photos. We found good getaway prices during certain parts of the year. In slower seasons, they offer 60% off rooms for some one-night stays, while there were still plenty of visitors on the island. A few downsides: there’s no mini fridge or microwave in this room, or in the second-floor room with the side porch where we stayed three years ago. The bathrooms could be larger, and hallway voices and doors opening and closing carry into the room. The lack of an elevator may be a concern for guests with accessibility needs. You may also hear ferry horns, though I don’t remember them waking us up.
