The hotel was the cleanest and best maintained I have stayed in at this price for years. Not a speck of dirt on the floor. The room was huge too for the corner room we got. Sound between the rooms was really quiet and the front desk staff was wonderful to work with! We didn't get the chance to eat breakfast as the road was calling but the menu looked good for a motel breakfast and included an omelet!

Picture on website Much Much Much different. It’s just a small 25 room Motel. I thought I was getting a hotel. It was overpriced too. Breakfast was limited and disappointing. No pool. It is a senior hotel but sugary breakfast for kids. Confusing!.

Tradewinds is an old fashioned Mom & Pop motel that has kept up with the times!!! It’s got everything you need for a comfortable night’s sleep. Adequate breakfast in the morning served in a clean spacious breakfast room.

Great staff… friendly and quick to help. Positioned travelers at least one room apart so it was quiet. Bed is beginning to show/feel some wear, but was still comfortable
