At Trade Winds on the Bay, travellers consistently praise the convenient, walkable waterfront location and beautiful harbor views, plus friendly, accommodating staff, making it a solid value compared with many pricier stays along this part of the Maine coast.
Many enjoy the pool and hot tub, but parts of the property are older or under renovation, some features are out of order, and parking can be crowded when shared. Rooms vary widely: some are spacious or have balconies, while others are dated or windowless, with thin walls, noisy A/C, and streaming-only TVs affected by slow Wi‑Fi. Cleanliness is often acceptable, yet recurring notes include musty odors, floors or balconies needing deeper attention, and inconsistent hot water. Overall, expect a straightforward, no-frills stay.

Facilities
Guests appreciate the pool and hot tub, but upkeep is inconsistent—some areas are dated, occasionally closed, or under renovation. On-site parking is convenient yet can feel crowded when shared; the sauna/fitness space also comes across as older.

We had a panoramic suite and it was wonderful! Comfy bed, great water pressure and you can see the boats! Amenities are limited after 7 which was a shame but the pool, hot tub and sauna room made up for it! My husband says the work out room is thumbs up also! We would definitely stay again.

The hotel was conveniently located for the ferry and some shops and restaurants. The internet was very bad which made the tv unwatchable. The pool and hot tub was nice. Front desk were pleasant It was quite noisy though from activity in the rooms above us. We ate lots of lobster and that made up for everything!!

Great location, right across the street from lobster festival. Parking was a plus! Room was great, but bathroom could be updated. Our air conditioner made odd sounds but still kept room fresh. Pool was yellow so we didn't use it, also workout area was dated and was very dusty. This was good for what we needed, a safe, clean, fresh room to sleep.

Cons - The parking lot is shared with another hotel and it is very crowded. They only have one, maybe two handicapped spots. The room had a weird smell which literally is indescribable. Hoping the smell is not mold, but might be. The toilet is the size that elementary children would use. There is a “soft spot” in the floor in front of the bathroom sink. The television did not work. I am on a ten day road trip and this is my least favorite place to stay so far (day 5). This is my first review to write on this trip, but wanted to warn other potential guest about the cons especially the terrible smell as some people may be allergic to mold. Glad I am only staying one night. Pros - The scenery is nice. The room has a microwave and fridge. The water is really hot.

The lobby area and general outside of the building is super cute. The view from our balcony was gorgeous and it was nice to have 2 beds plus the sleeper sofa. The staff that we encountered were all very friendly. I am not very picky about places but think the condition of the room and pool area could be improved. The shower curtain rod was rusted along with other cosmetic details that seemed half done in the room. The pool area was dimly lit and old as well as having a ton of tiny ants crawling on the floor. Overall, like I said I am not picky and would stay there again as the location was great and I don't spend alot of time in the room when travelling.

The property is under construction. The pool is alright, the sauna is broke, the hot tub is broke. We stayed on the interior of the property and the curtains were too short allow anyone to look into our room event when the curtains were completely dawn. The staff was extremely nice. It is very close to everything in town but due to the condition of the property I could not recommend.

One of 2 ceiling lights not working. Bathtub faucet was barely functioning, signs of water damage, balcone covered with pigeon poop, very unhealthy and disgusting so as to render the desired space unusable. Not given refills of soap and shampoo. Size was insufficient for a proper wash. The rate for this space was exorbitant considering the furniture was stained and dirty and wouldn't be acceptable at a roadside motel 6. We were given unusable entry keys upon arrival and had to wait until 10pm to get working ones. Altogether an unpleasant experience. The issue were brought to the attention of mgmt but nothing was done. Upon checking out, I was handed an extra bill for $15. Due to booking on line. A really nasty surprise! I will never stay at this property and will warn others away from it. Great central location but not good enough for the price and conditions .

Beautiful views. However, the hot water took forever to get hot and the WiFi was slow/spotty. And the bathroom floors/general floors needed a good mopping.

There was a whole bunch of work going on. There are fixing things and painting things. Half of our lights didn’t work in our room. They don’t have any cable. The cleaning people barely come. The four days we stayed there they didn’t come once. At night the lights were so bright in the hallway that the light Seoul’s one through the door.

Although the floors may have been vacuumed in the main traffic path they actually need to be washed along with the mop boards. Maybe a once a month rotation of completing this would help.

We stayed two nights during the Maine Lobster Fest which was right across the street. We had a great view of the bay. Only negative is the floor needed to be cleaned more regular due to being vinyl. Our socks were dirty just from walking around the room.

Lovely location. We had a sea view room for 2 nights overlooking the harbour and breakwater lighthouse. Really friendly staff. Fairly good price for our room as the Maine coast can be a little pricey. Just 2 small mentions ... The bed I had was quite creaky and the mattress seemed to be lower on one side. Wasn't too big a deal as I slept reasonably well. Other issue for me was hearing the next rooms A/C switching on and off all night. Being from the UK it's not a noise I am used to! Would stay again if I ever come this way again

Fabulous view of the harbor. They seemed to be renovating or replacing some items in the hotel. The room was clean. Air conditioner was loud. Balcony was nice yet we had no screen door. Walls in the room needed touch up paint in several spots. Bathroom was clean except for the fan vent that was quite dirty. The Roku tv was annoying - would buffer every 20 minutes or so.

We liked the room itself. New vinyl floors and comfortable mattresses. Two areas of improvement would be 1) better WiFi. The tv is streaming only and the wifi is so weak the picture goes blurry often and it has to cycle.2) Before guests arrive, please turn AC on in room so it cools off. It was 80 in ours and took 4hrs to get down to 70.

If you like a room with no windows, paper thin walls, neighbors whose entire family if up at 6:00 on a Sunday morning and all talking at the top of their lungs plus the smell of particle board.....then this is the place for you! If not, don't go to this place!

Lots of aging properties on the Eastern seaboard, so not a surprise as to the conditions here. Great location. A bit noisy as our room had two doors on main traffic routes. We were surprised when our front door came off its hinges on the 3rd day, so we had to be moved to a smaller room for our last 2 nights. Staff promised (twice) that the owner would reach out. It took a month, and messages we generated, to finally get an acknowledgement and a modest credit. The staff on-site were friendly and helpful. Would be great to power wash the outside decks for the summer. I'm sure they're trying their best! You'll get friendly staff and great location for a moderate cost; you won't get sparkly new accommodations. All good to know as you book here.

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were great, helpful and kind. I would definitely choose this property again for a future visit as it was convenient to all the locations I visited & there were many. Also loved being close to the bay for sunrise & sunset.

The hotel clerk was excellent and very helpful. He was very attentive to our needs and a pleasure to talk to. Very good location close to downtown and marina's. We attended the Lobsterfeast which was right next to the hotel.

The hotel was conveniently located for the ferry and some shops and restaurants. The internet was very bad which made the tv unwatchable. The pool and hot tub was nice. Front desk were pleasant It was quite noisy though from activity in the rooms above us. We ate lots of lobster and that made up for everything!!

Rooms were spacious and well situated. Seems like every room has a view of the Harbor. Lighthouse museum across the street. 'Project Puffin' center directly around the corner. Shopping and restaurants within very close walking distance. Friendly staff.

The Trade Winds is an awesome location for visiting the Maine Lobster Festival, as it’s literally across the street. Be aware that being that close does have a disadvantage if you go to sleep early since you can hear the live entertainment from the main stage of the festival. We enjoyed it though since we could open the balcony door and enjoy the music from the comfort of our room. The staff were very kind and helpful. Being able to park our car and walk everywhere was another benefit.

We have stayed at this resort many times over the years and are very disappointed w what it has become . NO BREAKFAST ANYMORE, NO CABLE. building is a construction zone came back from site seeing to a giant man lift 6 inchs from my vehicle blocking it in. and the parking lot is in shambles . The new owners need to learn you must spend money to make money i will no longer be recommending Tradewinds to say the least.

The ROKU TV for TV entertainment is unacceptable. The front desk clerk actually had to sign into his private Spectrum account so we could watch network TV. Also, having to pay a premium cost for coffee and tea is unacceptable. We probably won’t stay there again for our yearly visit to Rockland.

It definitely matters which room you are booked in. Not all the rooms have been upgraded. I was right next to the cafe/front desk. It was not the most ideal location, but I was there only to sleep before returning to work. It was loud early in the morning, and the light outside the room was very bright. The room had a very strong smell of something dead and mold. The A/C unit in the wall was so dirty I was afraid to use it. The remote to the TV didn't work. Overall, I was there for 9 hours to sleep, so it kind of served its purpose. I would not want to stay in that room long term.
