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.
