What guests think

At Melody Motor Lodge, travelers describe a no-frills, retro property with very clean rooms, many recently renovated bathrooms, and friendly, helpful staff, offering solid value for an overnight stay despite some dated elements and basic amenities.

Several guests find the beds comfortable and nights generally quiet. Common drawbacks include in-room climate set from the office, mixed Wi-Fi performance, and thin walls that can carry noise. The diner next door is handy, and while it's accessible by car, cyclists note the GAP trail is a couple miles away along a busy road. Expect a straightforward, budget-friendly stopover.

Vintage quirky motel. Clean and safe. No heat, cooling or fan options in the room. Unable to get a receipt at checkout as office was locked with only a key drop available

Clean, quiet, and comfortable - about what I expect on a bike tour. The seemed to be some remodeling done since my last time there. I was disappointed to see the shade trees near the picnic bench gone.

The first night room was cool afterwards the room was hot No ice machine had to get ice from office and next day maid removed the ice bucket. Seemed like maid service was swapping out towels didn't make the bed and halfway pulled covers up. Overall the room was clean and smelt clean and quiet restaurant behind motel good location and i would stay again

Room looked clean from the looks, but woke up to bed bug bites all over me that I didnt have when I went there. Room was cold. Rooms are all controlled by the front desk. Front desk lady was very nice and efficient checking me in. But wont be back. Had some guy approach us trying to sell stuff to us in the parking lot at 630 at night. When we were on motorcycles.

They have remodeled the bathroom but main room has cracks on wall, ripped wallpaper on wall, spider web on ceiling and a mattress that should be replaced. Fridge about every 30 minites would vibrate so loud that it would wake you up.

Check in was fine, we got there close to midnight & there was a woman at the desk to check us in. This is a motor lodge, clean room, updated bath. But no hairdryer, only one teeny bar of soap for the entire bathroom. The front desk door was locked when we checked out at 8 AM.

A good option close to the Great Allegheny Passage. It's not the closest hotel in Connellsville, but is more affordable and less likely to be fully booked. The washroom was recently renovated, and the main area was in good shape. On the downside, the WiFi had difficulty connecting, and the neighbor fell asleep with the TV on, which was partially audible (no clear dialog, but could tell it was on), necessitating playing a fan noise recording to fall asleep myself.

This was a pretty good place to stay. There is a Walmart across the street. The only thing we didn’t like was the fact we didn’t have control over the heat, the room was very very hot an uncomfortable. Otherwise it was good, it was clean, they made sure we had clean towels everyday, and it’s easy to find. We would stay again if in the area again

The room was clean. The mattress was very firm. The comforter was warm. The pillows are memory foam, not my favorite. Wall paper was peeling but bathroom was recently refurbished. The shower was good, plenty of hot water, with good pressure. Refrigerator was good, I didn't use the microwave, the TV was good. I could hear neighbor through the wall. But all was quiet by bedtime. Located less than 2 miles from GAP trailhead. There was a Walmart across the road. You have to ask for ice at front desk. WiFi was very sluggish. It was cold in the morning, I wish I investigated the HVAC controls.

From the outside, this looks like your run-of-the-mill a little run-down motel, but the room I got was CLEAN and smelled good. The landlady was very accomodating (I had no phone, but needed to make a phone call, and she had no hesitation in helping me - thank you!

Location

Convenient for drivers with a diner next door and big-box stores nearby; also handy for Fallingwater and local events. Cyclists note it’s 2–3 miles from the GAP along a busy highway and not ideal for walking to restaurants.

The motel is a quaint, no frills property that is the best deal you’ll find. I’m a sucker for vintage motels, especially tile bathrooms and this one did not disappoint. The room was very clean and perfect for a night or two when visiting Pittsburgh and the surrounding towns. There is a diner next door with average diner food but the servers are very kind. My only complaint is that the walls are thin and you can hear the highway traffic in front of the motel. Otherwise, totally worth it.

Very good value for price paid. Room was clean and updated in some areas otherwise decades old. Property location is not really convenient for a cyclist riding the GAP as it's on a major highway 2-3 miles away. Walking to restaurants was not convenient nor safe, but I managed. Luckily there is a diner right next door. If you have a car it's all good. For a cyclist, I'd recommend literally anywhere else.

If you are looking for a clean bed and hot shower then this is your place. It is a very retro motel. There are no frills, at all. There is a micro/fridge. If you want a clean, safe place to stay this does the job. The diner next door has really good food and fast friendly service.
