I absolutely loved my stay at the Ephraim Shores Resort in Door County! The location is incredible, with easy access to the water and nearby restaurants. My room was spacious and had a wonderful view, though it did have a damp feeling at times. The staff were kind and very helpful throughout my visit. I especially enjoyed the indoor pool and had a relaxing time at the private beach. Despite the minor issues, I felt it was great value for money.

I had a great stay at this hotel, which was clean and well-kept. The room we stayed in was spacious, with a beautiful water view. The staff was pleasant and accommodating, making our experience even better. However, the construction noise outside was a minor drawback, and the lack of nearby restrooms by the pool area could be improved.

This hotel offers an amazing experience with spacious and clean rooms, ideal for families. The location couldn't be better, as it's right by the water, providing stunning sunset views and easy access to local restaurants. The service was exceptionally friendly and attentive. However, the absence of an elevator was a slight inconvenience for lugging bags upstairs. Overall, this place is a great value for the price!
