Interested in any of your experiences with the B & Bs or motels in Confluence.

What are you recommendations??

Thanks for any help.

I have used Confluence House B&B. It was great. But I usually ride to Ohiopyle on my rides, and there are more choices there.

Appreciate the advice on Ohiopyle. That actually works better mileage-wise than Confluence....However...When I search this website, I find fewer hotel/motel/lodging options in Ohiopyle than I do in Confluence. I'll keep looking...I'm obviously confused. Thanks again.

On our first DC to Pitt trip and also on the trip we are doing this July, my wife and I stayed at the Yough Plaza Motel. This was nothing fancy. It was clean and they allowed us to bring our bikes into the room. We stayed on the top floor and the end room, helped cut down on noise. There may be nicer places at Ohiopyle but really all we wanted was a place to safely store our bikes and gear, take a shower and sleep. We found a place to eat breakfast and were good to go.

You could try bbbiking.com. Sites like it and this site were a great help to us planning our two trips.

Good luck!

I use the Yough Plaza motel, on the contrary I think it is a really god trail motel. I will be staying there this Sat night . I've posted earlier that I'm doing a trainer.

For the extra 18 miles I prefer to stay at the Hostel in Rockwood. Right off the path. Friendly atmosphere and good food. Cost is about $22 a person for non private room. Bike storage in the basement with good water hose for cleaning. Check out their web site. Google Rockwood PA hostel.

Just returned and stayed in Confluence - great town and fantastic bike shop!

Lodging: Parker House, Confluence House B & B,
Hanna House, Paddlers Lane Retreat, House at Confluence.

All have websites. We stayed at Parker House Guest House (no breakfast, but kitchen available). Little pricy, but beautiful accommodation!

Confluence Cyclery could also give you names of the ones I didn't list.
