Our stay was fabulous. The hotel was clean; people were friendly and very helpful. I would like for the parking spaces to be numbered so you can park your vehicle next to your room. We will definitely stay there again.

Pleasant and comfortable

The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, including the fridge. Would have liked more pillows (only 3 for a king bed, would have preferred 4) and the shower was harsh, it came out full blast and there didn’t seem to be any way to moderate it and still have hot water. The surroundings are pleasant and the breakfast lobby is nice, with a reasonable selection.

Trade Winds is a locally owned older motel that is well taken care of. It’s a budget motel in a town that has limited dining options, so the ample breakfast was appreciated. The room was large and had everything we needed, but the appointments are what you’d expect from a budget motel. Good wi-fi, nice hot shower, nice staff.

The price was reasonable and the room was clean, bed mattress was acceptable. Breakfast as minimal. As with so many other motels, there needs to be at least one gluten free option offered. Cereal, oatmeal, something.

The motel was okay for a low cost choice. The room had an odor and the bed and furniture were very old. The staff was great and helpful.
