Clean room, friendly helpful staff, beautiful view from the deck, great location to downtown restaurants, shops, museums. The coffee shop makes great drinks and the staff was friendly.
The deck needs a good cleaning.
Very welcoming, nice friendly staff. Coffee bar was great. We were walking distance to walk the main street shops and to several places to get great meals. The room was clean, comfortable and had a great veiw of the bay.
Trade Winds has undergone an impressive facelift. The room had been tastefully renovated, furnishings updated and upgraded, the room was clean and comfortable. The king bed was comfy with high quality bedding, the suite included a separate sitting space with pullout couch, table/chairs, coffee bar, fridge, microwave, and sliding glass door to a balcony overlooking the water. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Trade Winds is a great value and I would stay there again.
