This was a great lodging option for my first visit to Door County. Ephraim is a cute sleepy town. I loved the private water overlook area with chairs. The rooms were good. We enjoyed the hot tub. There is no elevator that I am aware of so keep that in mind for accessibility purposes. Bring quarters and soap if you want to do laundry, though the front desk did have change and soap available to purpose!

Room was clean, updated. On ground level with walkout to greenspace overlooking the water. We LOVED that! The bathroom was clean and updated, but not handicap accessible--tub was high. This was a last minute stay, so was literally the only room available. In future, I'd request a handicap accessible for my parent. Would definitely stay again for the location and cleanliness!Walkability: Right in heart of Ephraim-- can walk to everything! Hotel has guest space across the street overlooking the water.Food & drinks: The restaraunt is on the 2nd level with no elevator. Not ideal if mobility is an issue.Food was delicious and well priced.

Great little place - very grateful we found it & will be back! Clean & kind- the two most important things. Very clean & well kept. A bit dated but we enjoyed it tbh & was very affordable. Wonderful location with lots of seating on the waterfront. Pool & hot tub with games, a treadmill & restaurant on site. Great location for other nice restaurants & wine bars. 7 min drive from Sister bay & the national park. We loved it here & will be back.

We were lucky to find an open room for a single night and the price was reasonable for the area so we took it. We have no complaint about the room other than that with it being an older building and all wood frame construction, when you get an inconsiderate guest above you like we had, one who walks heavily and seemed to be constantly pacing as late as midnight when we were trying to sleep, it makes for an unpleasant experience. We were constantly being woken up to the sound of thunderous footsteps that never seemed to stop.Also, the mattress seems quite cheap where when my wife would move or roll, the entire bed would shake and I would wake up. The room was clean and well maintained and otherwise quiet, and in a very convenient location, right across from the water. I would stay here again but perhaps on the 2nd floor or in the hopes that whoever was above us was not stomping around so late.

We got a suite and it was lovely with plenty of room and a private bedroom. I really liked having a private balcony as well. Many nice outdoor amenities such as a grill, outdoor gas firepit, and adirondack chairs around the firepit. Very close to restaurants and other great Door County small towns for shopping and eating and enjoying the lakes. Will stay here again in the future if we visit this area again.

We had a nice one night stay here. The rooms were clean. There wasn’t an elevator so if you have a lot of luggage you have to carry it upstairs. We enjoyed the sunset across the street at their private sitting area. The sheets were soft. We would have liked a room with a view of the lake and not the back parking lot but it was only a one night stay so it was fine.

Lovely hotel, VERY relaxing to stay here. We liked the pool and hot tub, and loved the balconies and greenspace for watching the sunset. We were only able to stay 1 night, and it was amazing and much appreciated that they were able to accommodate our short stay, as most places require 2/3 night minimums certain times of the year. So so happy we stayed here; we look forward to coming back when we have more time.

The price was good, and the rooms, while a little “older” were quite clean. Nice pool and hot tub, as well as a billiards table and some pinball machines in the game room. Overall would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a no-frills place to stay at an affordable price point.

Stayed here twice. Very good location and next to the Old Post Office fish boil. Both first floor and second floor rooms have view of the lake. It has a private lakefront area where you can swim and enjoy the view in summer. The room is spacious and well equipped with a small kitchen area. My favorite part is the pool and jacuzzi. This is the best choice of hotel at this price range in Ephraim.

SUPER clean location. Rooms were clean, well stocked, and large. Beautiful location with seating across the street right next to the Bay. Very quiet, good parking, and very friendly staff. Loved the amenities offered to guests.

Just checked in to the hotel (7/19/20). This place is exceptional and far exceeded my expectations. The building itself is a lot more modern than I thought and ultra-clean. I mean super clean. The room is large and the linens are crisp and fresh. The view is spectacular and I can’t get over how much better this is than what I thought. It feels like a Hilton.

Nice enough place for the price, bed was comfy, great view of the water. Room had a whirlpool and was a bit musty — smelled vaguely of mold/damp. (Possibly because the thin carpet runs all the way up to the whirlpool tub.) Odor was not bad enough to complain to management but I don’t know if we’d stay in that room again.

You cannot believe this "motel". Perfect location, halfway up the peninsula. You can get to almost all of the key cities and attractions in less than 25 minutes.The room charge is so beautifully inexpensive.Call plenty ahead because they are very busy.There is a restaurant on property that is a hidden gem. We ate there 4 times for breakfast and 2 times for dinner.Great menu, reasonable prices, excellenttasting food.Give this place a look.

Our family absolutely loves this place. Not only is it kid friendly, but the staff goes above beyond. You can tell they truly enjoy working at this resort! The rooms are always clean and very spacious. The pool area is great as well. It is in walking distance to Wilson’s and other fun little shops along the way! It’s a very quiet hotel too.

Roomy and clean, pool room is decent. Parking is somewhat tight if you have a large vehicle. They should look into sun shades for the lake front seating area. Close to local amenities.

Love staying here and have been doing so for 40 years now! Always large, clean and comfortable rooms! The indoor swim pool and hot tub are great to use after a day of roaming the Door!

This place was really nice! The room was clean and comfortable, the shower was very good with good water pressure. They have a pool and a hot tub, but unfortunately we were not able to use them due to staying there 1 night only and wanting to do other things. However, both looked clean and fun. I would definitely go there if we had more time. The hotel is right across the street from the water, and we actually had a partial water view from the room. They have their own water access with lounge chairs and adirondacks, and we were able to go and sit there in the evening which was really nice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would like to come back to this hotel next time we visit Door County.
