Our stay was fabulous. The hotel was clean; people were friendly and very helpful. I would like for the parking spaces to be numbered so you can park your vehicle next to your room. We will definitely stay there again.

Friendly, clean, and comfortable!

Really friendly staff. Room was well cared for and clean as was the bathroom. Slept extremely well as it was quiet and the beds were really comfortable. I’m in Valentine every summer and have stayed at most of the hotels. Will definitely be coming back to this one!

The value is usually very good. The price may have been higher due to the local motor cycle rally.

One night stay

One night stay as we were passing through. We overslept breakfast but the kind lady at the front desk did hook us up with what she could. She definitely didn’t need to do that. Great service!

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.

The trucks going across the bridge behind us was a little noisy. It was otherwise a nice place to stay.

Pleasant and comfortable

The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, including the fridge. Would have liked more pillows (only 3 for a king bed, would have preferred 4) and the shower was harsh, it came out full blast and there didn’t seem to be any way to moderate it and still have hot water. The surroundings are pleasant and the breakfast lobby is nice, with a reasonable selection.
