Going the other way out of Ohiopyle, you can ride 17 miles (34 miles round trip) to Connellsville. There is a slight grade down to Connellsville. Connellsville is a larger town than Confluence with more options to eat or obtain goods, if needed. Similarly, going the other way out of Meyersdale, you'll cross the long bridge in route to Rockwood (~12 miles, 24 miles round trip).
The trail is the good (crushed limestone) from either Ohiopyle or Meyersdale.
While there are B&B's in Ohiopyle, they are often full since Ohiopyle is a whitewater rafting destination as well as a bicycle tour overnight location. If you plan to stay indoor there overnight, make sure you have a reservation before going there. Some of the places can be a little noisy with rafters.
There should be less problem finding a place in Meyersdale. I've stayed at both the Trailside B&B and Yoder's Guest House. Both were clean and friendly albeit I guess I liked Yoder's somewhat better albeit further downhill from the trail. Dinner at Morguen Toole is normally quite good if the restaurant is open.
