Picture on website Much Much Much different. It’s just a small 25 room Motel. I thought I was getting a hotel. It was overpriced too. Breakfast was limited and disappointing. No pool. It is a senior hotel but sugary breakfast for kids. Confusing!.

Tradewinds is an old fashioned Mom & Pop motel that has kept up with the times!!! It’s got everything you need for a comfortable night’s sleep. Adequate breakfast in the morning served in a clean spacious breakfast room.
