Breakfast delivered in a cute basket was a nice touch. Some of the fruit items could have been fresher. The water feature in the room, and around the property was an awesome touch of zen! Room and property were both very clean.

I cannot say enough good things about Tradewinds. The staff from the time i made the reservation online was great. They called before I got there and then sent me a text to say the room was ready. Their hotel is awesome. Very tranquil and "zenish". My room was beautiful and breakfast delivered to you front door every morning. I am looking forward to staying with them again! Highly Recommend!

For the price through Expedia this was a decent place to stay. The staff were friendly. The cold breakfast brought to our room was a nice touch since there is no restaurant on site. I liked the zen feel of the fountain at night. It just all seems a bit dated and could use a facelift.
