Don't change a thing!!! I'm so glad I read the reviews and gave this place a chance. It has very basic amenities, but it is very clean and well maintained. The owners seem to actually care about the property. Loved seeing the little vegetable garden outside our window in the back. It's situated on a hill where you get a view of basically the whole town from the front door. We ate at Pine Grill while using the laundromat across the street, very convenient. Classic road trip style Americana. If you are looking for a place to stay in the area, this is the one!
Cute vegetable garden

I've been a guest at the Dollar Inn for several years and would recommend it to anyone visiting Somerset. The rates are low. and the room was clean and spacious. I especially enjoyed the fridge and the daily housekeeping, which is something you don't see at other motels.

Wonderful place to stay

We were staying in the area to attend the 9/11 memorial event at the Flight 93 Memorial and selected this location for its proximity. This was a pleasant surprise and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again. The bathroom was probably the cleanest bathroom of any lodging stay ever! The pillows and beds were very comfortable. The parking was super easy and convenient. This isn't fancy but it was everything we needed.

A Nice Overnight to Visit Mountain Craft Days

The room was clean and spacious. There were ample channels on the TV from which to choose. I enjoyed that there was a nearby lake to which I could walk to "wind down." Parking was right in front of my room.
