Clean, large room. Friendly staff. Great location@
There was a big winter snow storm, i was staying at Tradewinds to be close to work.
Staff was very accomodating, i was allowed to check in early - which was very important since i would be getting out of work after 10pm.
This may happen again if this winter keeps being so snowy! I am curious if there is some sort of "frequent visitor" status or program for discounts?
I am quite sure i will be back, and i recommend this hotel to family and friends. Hopefully next time i can actually spend time off from work in the pool!

Front desk staff was wonderful! And room was very clean.
The staff was extremely helpful and very genuinely kind. The room was spotless and the bed was very clean and comfortable. I give a A++++ to Trade Winds on the Bay! We had room 207, I apologize that we forgot to leave a tip, I will call as soon as we get home to Vinalhaven, and will pay a tip to whomever cleans our room. We will be returning anytime we need to stay or as we often do, get stuck because of boat and weather issues. A+++++
The room was great. Warm and spacious. Price was fabulous and staff was very warm and accommodating
It is a short walk to Main Street Rockland.
Coffe bar was very good.
It was a winter visit so it was quiet. We were the only ones at pool and sauna
It's perfect for a getaway weekend or weeklong vacation. Our room was well equipped and spacious. The staff was attentive and helpful. My favorite thing was the inhouse coffee shop. No wandering the streets looking for your morning latte.

The room was clean, I had trouble with the TV and the desk clerk was extremely helpful. He even came to our room and then he asked us if it was okay for him to enter the room to check out the TV. Definitely will be back..

It was adequate for our purposes but not perfectly clean inside. The partial ocean view was lovely but partly blocked by appliances. Tub was not easily filled (no tub lever). Bed was very comfortable. We were grateful it was reasonable in cost.
I love the fact that they have great communication they go out of their way to contact you once you booked your room to let you know everything this is my go to when I get off of work and I'm too tired to drive home they always let me know where to find my key what time they go with time they close my room is always nice and clean it's like my move okay family member house my distant cousin from another mother I enjoy it cozy room comfortable bed it's perfect
