What guests think

At Tradewinds Motel, reviews describe a basic, budget stay with some clean, remodeled rooms alongside recurring issues like smoke smells, noise, uneven housekeeping, and spotty amenities such as nonworking TVs, ice machines, and missing kitchen items.

Several guests like the convenient location near a shopping center and transit, and appreciate well-lit parking and cameras. Service is often described as friendly and accommodating, though some report rude late-night interactions, slow responses, and unexpected deposits or small fees. Room quality is mixed: some renovated and comfortable, others affected by noise, stiff beds or oversized pillows, and inconsistent in-room features like TVs, Wi-Fi, or kitchenettes. Overall, expect a no-frills stay where value and location may outweigh inconsistent amenities.

Room was a non smoking room- reeked of stale cigarette smoke. Cigarette burn stains on toilet seat and end tables. $.50 for ice!?!?’ Also wanted a $10 deposit for the room key. What kind of garbage is that??? No tissues in room, shower curtain didn’t reach floor, so bathroom became flooded with every shower. Worst hotel experience in ages. Will NEVER stay again or recommend to anyone. You can’t put perfume on a pig and expect it to still not be a pig…

It’s a no frills motel, bare bones. The staff are nice, the shower head has nice settings. Basic soap was given, so recommend you stopping at the target for your essentials. Tesla charger 2 min away, target and major shopping 5 min. Pay for what you get, it’s cheap and has the essentials. It has a fridge with a kitchenette stove top. I saw some people living long term it seems like. No weird noises or anything. They were doing some renovations like new tar for the parking. I really like how this property has cameras all over the property and somebody can always be reached at front desk.

If you don’t mind bugs and roaches. Long term monthly renters in some of the rooms. People in and out of there, at all times. A room that is poorly maintained and dirty. This is your place.

Shower head was dirty and didnt run good. Not all the lights worked. Blankets were super thin. They use there night window all day not just via night, while there office remains closed and locked. When ringing bell at night window for service to check out had to wait 20 minutes to be helped, when the man arrived at the window he was unprofessional and very rude.

Booked a non-smoking, the room stank like it’s always been booked for smokers. Had to leave windows open hoping that would help. The toilet was dirty with actual poop stains on the seat, not even the toilet itself BUT on the seat!! And all types of stains on the toilet, it was gross, made me wonder when the last time the sheets were actually changed was?!! Skip this place

Pros: Excellent service. The area seemed safe. The room was clean and modern and everything was in great condition. Nice TV. Nice shower and sink. Good location across from a shopping center. The bed was stiff and uncomfortable. The pillows had a nice density but they were HUGE so I layed my head on a blanket I brought instead. No comforter just sheets and a top cover. No blackout curtains.

Everything was great! Spacious room for one, bed was comfy. I really, really liked the decor. Kudos to their interior decorator. I mean it’s not the Taj Mahal, but attention was paid to detail, i.e. the blue curtains matched the door and the blue specs in the tile floor perfectly. The blue theme carried throughout the room and I appreciate the time it took to coordinate all that. Oh! Let’s not forget the friendly staff, very kind young gentlemen.

When I asked the manager about it, he asked me to call Expedia, where will I go call Expedia at around 10pm with two girl kids. Light switches were terrible and restroom conditin was terrible and worst experience

Had bad experience at this Motel. Got there around 5:30 and police cars were blocking entrance. Guns out trying to apprehend someone in one of the rooms. After tgey left everything was calm. They also require you leave a deposit for the room key. I went at 6 in morning to return key and girl had attitude because i woke her up. In my opinion if they don't want to be woken up they shouldn't ask for deposit in cash. Towels were too small , definitely not for adults.

Booking thru hotels.com the room was different than their 'regular' rooms - zero amenities: no coffee, microwave, no breakfast, sub-par towels, not even a phone in the room. Booked an additional room thru the hotel and received all the amenities...totally different room, look and feel...different building even. Almost like there were two hotels in one name. The additional we were moved to "the other side" and we really saw a huge difference. So, if you don't care about amenities it would be fine, but we originally booked here because it included breakfast. . . but nope....and not even a phone in the room to call the front desk if there was a problem.
