I love this place! Great restaurant, great view into the water from a balcony, and plenty of room! This is a vintage motor lodge with a magnificent restaurant and not a corporate cookie cutter hotel. I travel a great deal, and I get sick of the same old, same old. Trade Winds had marvelous service and they have built on... More

My husband and I stayed at The Trade Winds for 2 nights had a great room with a balcony...Great view of the Bay!! Place is a little weathered but that's the whole charm to this New England Hotel! Everyone there was very helpful and even the continental breakfast was nice. More

Cheap off season room. Very stained carpeting. Duct tape repairs. Noisy: Thin Walls and noisy corridors. Clean/comfortable bed. Lukewarm shower. Suspicious holes in drop ceiling tile --creepy. If you just need a place to shower, shave, and sleep then it's fine. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing about this place that's welcoming, comforting, or special. This could be a gem of a... More

We stayed there during the off season. It was not my choice as we were part of a group. Our room was in the dungeon. Walls were paper thin. We were kept awake all night by loud, drunk unruly guests, even after numerous calls to the front desk. It was the dirtiest hotel I have ever been in. I instructed... More

Can you please email me your Name and Date that you stayed with us? I would certainly like to make this right with you. I can... More

I stay here annually when visiting my family. It's nothing special, but on the off-season it is affordable and clean enough to not creep me out. Good water pressure in the bathroom, clean shower, commode, linens, and friendly staff. Look, it's Rockland folks. There should be coffee pots in the rooms and more pillows, but it earns a 3 star...

A friend booked rooms at this hotel for us without consulting TripAdvisor first. Here is what we found: could not get TV to work; could not get heater to work; beds ok but linens very old with lots of pilling; room clean but everything looked very old and tired; lots of light from hallway which you could not keep out...

By all means, I am not the type of person to complain about services. But I was utterly disgusted with my stay at this facility. There were dresser drawers FULL of clothes left behind from previous guests. As I inquired to see if the room was double booked, I was told there was no housekeeping at that hour and was... More

Listen to the other reviews - this place is horrible. The location is great but they really need to work on this place. I could make a long list of reasons for people not to stay here but I will sum it all up with the "incident" at the restaurant - fleas (yes really fleas) jumped off our dinner plates.... More

This is an older hotel and it shows. When we were there back in June there was a rumor of it being turned into a vacation timeshare type of place eventually. It would need a major overhaul for that. When we checked in and got our room, we found the air conditioner had a broken knob and did not work.... More

The Trade Winds Motel is run down poorly maintained property. We were in a room that had one window that faced into a hallway. We were there in August on what had to be the hottest weekend of the summer. We got there about two and found that the air conditioner had not been left on. It took a while... More
