Kay,
The Midway Budget Inn is quite a distance off the trail down U.S. 40 OR I-70 from Rocheport. I have never stayed there, so I can't speak for the motel itself.
However, access might be a problem. If you have road transport to and from the motel, that might not be too bad, but if you are planning on biking it, that could be dicey.
I would suggest staying in Boonville, where the Hotel Frederick will be open by then or at Isle of Capri hotel. Both are located right on the trail. Columbia might be a good option, too, since you can take the 8.9-mile MKT trail into downtown Columbia.
Camping at Katfish Katy's might also be a better option.
