Traveler's Rest Hotel

We loved the welcoming, laid-back feel of this historical place. Our group of four had a room with four beds and our own bathroom across the hallway. Everything was clean and well-managed. There were snacks available at all times and all you would need for a healthy breakfast. We enjoyed the camaraderie of others staying at the place, mostly cyclists, and the hosts are delightful as well as providing information on the area. They were happy to store our luggage as we headed away to Cumberland to cycle back to the hotel. We stayed there again after our bike trip along the GAP.

I stayed here with my family (my wife, my kids: 11 years old daughter and 7 years old son) as a stop point when I went back to Michigan from Washington D.C. When we arrived at the hotel fist, my family felt a bit scared about neighborhood but it was totally safe place. Easy access to Pittsburgh downtown, and you can also find a couple of nice restaurants and bars just by 3 minutes car drive around the same river side. We loved atmosphere inside the hotel and the room. Our kids loved the bunk bed in the family room. Bed mattress were very comfortable. You may have a chance to meet the hotel owner in morning time. He was very kind, nice and helpful. His dog was so cute. Unfortunately we couldn't bring bikes due to carrier trouble for this trip but I can highly recommend this hotel for bikers.

A big room in the entry to hang out and talk with other travellers where you could have coffee and breakfast. Very welcoming to cyclists, with the things the person travelling by bike needs - secure, place to store the bike, tools and amenities to repair the bike, multiple beds in most rooms so you can easily share with travel mates, access to a fridge and stove, etc. Also, lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance.

It’s feels like home. The owners are super nice and happy to provide recommendations and help if needed. The place has been beautifully renovated and the complimentary breakfast is delicious: croissants, pastries, bread, eggs and coffee or tea. Very easy to park around and close to everything.

Excellent stay. The Travelers rest is exceedingly bike friendly, and has a secure garage for the bikes. Breakfast is also great, as a fix your own with plenty of selection.
