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 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.

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+++++

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!

The room was very spacious and very, very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. The hotel is older so a bit dated, but such a great value. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the view of the harbor was just beautiful! We highly recommend this property.
