Spacious and Comfortable

Our room was super spacious, equipped with a large fridge, a microwave, and even a coffee maker. The patio door provided a stunning view of the water. Everything felt really clean and homey, making our stay comfortable. I can't recommend it enough!

Great Indoor Pool

The indoor pool and jacuzzi were large and pleasantly warm. It was a fantastic way to unwind after a busy day of exploring. The cleanliness was great, with no overwhelming chemical smells, just pure comfort!

Impeccably Clean Bathroom

The bathroom was incredibly clean, with a great layout. I loved that the sink area was separate from the toilet and shower, which provided a nice level of privacy. The towels were thick and soft, enhancing the overall experience.

My daughter and I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The room was incredibly spacious and clean with a stunning water view right from our patio door. It felt like a home away from home. However, I would have loved a few extra pillows on the bed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to visit again!

Ephraim Shores is a fantastic hotel with stunning views and a serene atmosphere, perfect for family vacations. The rooms are spacious and impeccably clean, with easy access to outdoor play areas. The staff is warm and welcoming, always ready to help. The only downside was the lack of in-room furniture like a table and chairs for dining. Overall, it's a great value for the price, especially considering its prime location and convenient amenities.

Staying at Ephraim Shores was a fantastic experience overall! The rooms were clean and very spacious with a beautiful view right outside. The location is incredible, just a short walk to the lake and nearby restaurants. The staff was both helpful and friendly, which made our stay even better. However, there was a bit of noise from an exhaust fan by our room, and while the pool area was nice, it would have been great to have an outdoor pool as well.
