Rooms were nicely decorated, beds comfortable, plenty of closet space. Bathroom was nice, but slightly cramped. Nice surprise was daily breakfast, delivered to your room. It was delicious and beautifully packaged. Staff was friendly and helpful and went above and to make sure we had everything we needed. Parking can be challenging though. I would return here in a heartbeat!

Loved out stay at Tradewinds! So close to everything, but also far enough away to be a quiet retreat! The rooms are large with comfy bed, and a large patio to enjoy the cool evening. Loved the morning breakfast drop offs at our door. Would definitely stay again.
