Comfort Inn Connellsville

Stayed here on 6/3/2023, coming from Pittsburgh. It was your typical lower-end hotel with hot breakfast included in the price. The hotel had a hose out front to wash off your bikes, and at the entryway into the lobby, they also provided rags so you can wipe off your bikes after hose down. There was a bin for clean rags and a bin for dirty rags. It was very bike-friendly.

My brother complained about a "funky" odor in his room, so he asked to check out my room. Same thing. He asked the front desk about it, and it was pervasive throughout the hotel. In other words, changing rooms would not have resolved the issue. I think the odor he was smelling were the cleaning chemicals that they used. It didn't bother me that much and actually gave me a warm and fuzzy that they cleaned the place.

Planning on camping at the Adirondack type shelters just outside Connellsville. Appx. 58 mile day so a shower would feel good. Anyone used the shower at the Comfort Inn Motel? Cost, etc?

Get there early! The Adirondacks fill up quick in summer and I ended up having to put my tent on the grass.

Not sure about hotel costs or shower availability outside of a hotel, I’m sure someone will chime in.

A couple of years ago when the now Comfort Inn was the financially-ailing Cobblestone Inn, there were notices posted in the Adirondack shelters that bikers could go there, get a shower and use the Internet for $10. I don’t know if the comfort Inn still offers that opportunity or not. You can call them to see. The place is only a few years old so I would expect things inside to still be suitable for showering and the like. It’s just a short 1/4-mile or so beyond the Adirondack shelters.

If the o fort Inn no longer offers that service, you might want to consider camping at the Uniontown (Connellsville) KOA Campground. While it is primarily a campground for RV’s, there is a nice designated area for tent camping, some with and some without electrical outlets albeit with little shade. However, they have showers, a pool and a gift shop with ice cream and snacks. This KOA is located right on the GAP Trail about 3 miles before you get to the Adirondack shelters in Connellsville. There are no Adirondack shelters per se’ at the KOA but they do have some small, 4- and 6-person log cabins there. I’ve not stayed in any of those cabins but they look ok from the exterior. You’d have to contact them about rates and availability of those cabins. The tent sites are not heavily used so I suspect you would’t need an advance reservation simply to tent there.

Hope this info helps.
