Spend more money and stay elsewhere. I stayed here with my husband July 29–31, 2011. The best thing about this hotel is how it looks from the curb—it all went downhill from there. We are in our late twenties and are very accustomed to staying in beach towns in simple rooms. But this was a dump. I’m not sure if... More

I took my seven kids to Ocean City for a couple of day....we checked in at the Trade Winds and it was awful. The first room that the owner gave us keys for way dingy, really small, paint/plaster was chipping from around the windows, and it was steaming hot due to the air conditioner being off. We did have reservations,... More

I will start with the negatives and get them out of the way. 1. room was a little small 2. furnishings a bit outdated. That's it! What a fantastic place to stay. The room was clean, the pool was clean and taken care of, great location and the customer service is out of this world!! Ed was a fabulous host... More

I called to reserve a room at the Tradewinds and was pleasantly surprised by how nice and accommodating the owner Ed was. In this day and age where everyone gets so caught up with the little things and grumpy too... it was a breath of fresh air (sea air) to have our needs met on an individual basis. We ended... More

We have stayed at the Tradewinds many times throughout the years. We go back annually during the summer months and in October for Indian Summer. The motel is close to the boardwalk and local attractions like the street fair on Asbury Ave. held each October. The owners, Ed and Nona, are friendly and accommodating and help give the Tradewinds and... More

Others said this Motel was dirty? Were they staying at the Trade Winds? In Ocean City New Jersey? While this Motel is 50 years old or so. I do not believe it shows it's age. There are about 6 of these Motels all built about the same time by the same builder. The rooms are NOT large. But, the one... More

This motel is very old, which I have no problem with but it also appeared dirty. My husband and I stayed a few nights and this was by far the worst place we have ever been. I so wish I would have spent a little more money for something cleaner and nicer. Among other things, there were stains on the... More

I've stayed at this hotel for about 20 years and it is the second owner - he and his wife are lovely people and have fit us in for last minute stays several times - btthis is a very competive town with fancier hotels if you want to spend a fortune---this place is tha same as it was years ago...

I stayed at the Traderwinds last year with my Mother, sisters, neices, and nephews. We had two rooms. The location is great. Not far off the boardwalk and right in the center of town. Check in was fast and they have ample parking behind the hotel which was nice, did not have to worry about parking. The rooms were of... More
