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.

A diamond in the rough

So many bad motels lately, this one is fantastic. All the basics were perfect: shower good, strong and hot, bed and linens good, Wifi worked fine, AC new and sufficient, far from the Interstate noise, enough off the local road to minimize it's noise, very close to gas and food, easy to get to (though the entrance requires a sharp eye). there was a simple alarm clock and phone in the room, along with a fridge and microwave. Minimal, but that's just what one wants when arriving midway on a long road trip. No coffee in room, but free coffee and ice at the desk. I was so happy I left a large tip.

This motel sits on a hill. I can imagine that once upon a time it was abandoned and then these owners acquired it and did a good job with the renovations. It's not spectacular, but it is neat, clean, and well cared for, what you see in the picture. This motel is on an exit about an hour out from Pittsburgh. It also sits in-between the 911 and Johnstown Flood National Museums.

This property was exceptionally good. Old, but very clean. Spacious room with seating area. King size bed was comfortable. Air conditioning worked great. No coffee in the rooms but they had it in the office. Refrigerator and microwave in the room. No amenities but we were just passing through. Owners were very nice. Definitely recommend and will stay again.

Compares with big name motels except they don't have breakfast. It is well of the street so noise is not a factor. And nearby dining is plentiful.
