Stayed here for the first time while here on business. 1950's style family run motel. Rooms are outdated, but clean, large and very convenient to the public beach, and many Old Forge attractions. Water pressure in the shower is fantastic, and the beds are very comfortable! Rates are reasonable, and there is a continental breakfast set out in a beautiful... More

Ranking this hotel against every one I've ever stayed in, I give it a three. But, ranking it against the Old Forge hotels, it's a five. Easily the nicest hotel I've stayed in in Old Forge. It was clean, comfortable, huge rooms, great view, nice people on staff and had wi-fi. It's very basic -- you get soap and towels... More

We are motorcyclists and can get bikes in under porch if weather is bad. We don't do the in house breakfast because part of the fukl is going... More

Cold welcoming. Very outdated. Breakfast isn't even available till 8am which is diffcult when you have small children. Pool area was dirty.Website makes it out to be much nicer than it is. Worth maybe $80 a night but $120 no way.

Another fantastic stay at the Forge Motel. Huge rooms and wonderful views of the lake. Walking distance to the water park, restaurants and shops. We hadn't been to Old Forge in a couple of years and Jennifer at the front desk remembered me and my family from past visits...you don't get that kind of personal touch at the big chain... More

Rooms are very spacious and clean. Great view of the lake. The pool is nice for the kids and free breakfast. Great value for the price. Walking distance to everything in town. I will never stay anywhere else when visiting Old Forge!

It's everything you would aspect from a motel. Basic, but clean (which in my opinion is the most important thing). The view is great though and it's nice and quiet. Als mentioned before breakfast is very simpel, but otherwise many other motels don't offer any breakfast so this will do. I would stay here again.

I have stayed at this motel for roughly 30 years and it is one of my favorite. Rooms are very clean and the view from the upper rooms of the lake is awesome. Nice continental breakfast they provide in the mornings. Place has an indoor pool which is also very clean. Staff is excellent and would do anything to make... More
