Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Is this motel fancy? Nope! is it clean with an amazingly friendly and helpful staff!! Yes!! It really comes down to location. It is perfect! Beach and playground right across the street, clean comfortable rooms. You can walk to EVERYTHING! Had an amazing weekend with my grandchildren and will come back every year.

A family of 5, 3 teenagers. We went with another family for the weekend. This place is family owned. The family were lovely. From Haley to her lovely mother Haley. It’s not 5 star, but it was very clean and very comfortable. The staff were lovely, and very friendly. We had 0 problems. It was a cloudy weekend, so the indoor pool was a nice clean distraction for them. I highly recommend this place. We will be back next year.

I booked this room, I checked in and did not even go in the room yet, I got a call my dad got sent to the hospital and had to go home immediately. When i called and begged for even a partial refund the girl was very rude and told me she “watched me go in the room” and can’t refund me because they would now have to reclean it. I in fact did not go in the room. Now I am out $200 and have to go home to horrible news. People have no hearts anymore.

We had two beautiful rooms that each had three double beds in them! Never had this option anywhere before and we had just as much room to move around as you did with a two bed room. Plus there was an awesome screened in porch to spread out in as well as chairs out front. It always rains when we go on vacation why I booked this place with an inside pool (clean)which the kids took advantage of. Easy walking distance to town, lake and to the waterpark, morning coffee!

I was not staying there just had a bathroom emergency. The public restrooms that I was aware of were closed for cleaning. I couldn't wait any longer and made my way into the Clarks Beach Motel. The rude lady in the front kicked me out due to the bathrooms not being public. I get it. But emergencies happen. I was stuck. She was nice enough to point me in the direction to the beach restrooms but then followed that with a rude comment and an unpleasant name that I won't repeat. The only thing I did wrong was enter her establishment in the first place. I did not argue. I was apologetic and appreciative when she told me which bathroom I could use. The name calling and the rude comment was a little bonus as I walked out the door. Can't believe she runs a "family friendly" motel.

I didn't even get a chance to stay at this place and after reading most of the reviews, I'm glad. I made a reservation for a week later than I intended. Yes, it was my mistake and I own it, but when I tried to transfer the reservation to my 26 year old son I was told by the owner I would still have to be there at check in. Apparently there is a very strict "no change" policy. In addition, since I was coming into town the week before my reservation (the weekend I actually meant to make the reservation for) I asked if I could sign for the reservation at that time and was told no. I was on the phone with this woman for 30 minutes and she refused to do anything to help. Incidentally I made the reservation through Expedia so it was completely paid for. She had my money ($420) but would not accept any other scenario expect me signing her registration form on the actual registration day. She was also very rude and condescending while on the phone. I work in retail and would be fired if I talked to customers like that. Good thing she's the owner 🙄. I'm just sick over this matter. That's $420 down the tube.

The location is nice and the pool is nice. Some of the staff are friendly but we did have a negative run in with the girl that worked nights. I don’t think it’s appropriate to argue about the amount of toilet paper you should be giving out. We had a girls trip and there was 6 of us. For the price we paid for that dirty room why on earth would you argue about a roll of toilet paper. Not to mention the attitude we got when it was time to leave the pool due to the covid restrictions. That’s not even the worst part. The room was absolutely nasty. I took pictures of the condition of room B. Stains on mattress cover that was obviously not washed. The wall paper was peeling off, the paint in the bathroom is peeling , the toilet felt like it was going to fall through the floor when you sit on it and the shower is unsafe! You literally get scolded when showering. My daughter was burnt and so was everyone else in the party. If they don’t get this fixed they will have a lawsuit. The temperatures change when your in there and it’s painful to say the least. Not worth the money and it’s sad to see it went down hill.

After an unpleasant booting by an AirBNB owner down the road over a very trivial matter, we were scrambling for 12 people to find a place to stay for the rest of the weekend. As we were just about to give up - we saw a 'Vacancy' sign on the Clark Beach Motel and figured why not. Owner Heather was very helpful, very friendly and was able to arrange 2 rooms plus a 2-bedroom townhome clustered together at the last minute. The rooms and accommodations are very basic - so don't expect the Hilton, and you are paying for the convenience and location. We liked the screened-in porches in the back and the roominess of the apartment to coordinate our activities. But the location can't be beat - right in the middle of Old Forge's business district and right on the beach. As such - sure, there's going to be some noise by other vacationers. Old Forge is the gateway to the central Adirondacks with a major water park and other destinations nearby.

The room is very dated, which I could deal with. However, there is no blow dryer (fortunately I travel with one), no alarm clock or clock at all (and the stand by the bed has no outlet so couldn't plug the phone in and use it as a clock), and worst yet no coffee maker. I just think for the price we paid, a small coffee pot and a clock would not be a stretch to their budget. The TV is a tiny table top one, which works, but again the cost of a decent sized one on the wall is not unthinkable. My biggest complaint is there is free coffee in the lobby, but they don't open until 8:00 am, and the morning we went they only had decaf and powdered creamer! Seriously? There is a supermarket not far down the street. And how expensive is liquid creamer. Combine these things with really uncomfortable beds and we were totally disappointed. the only thing going for this place is location.
