Tradewinds Motel

This property was perfect! Had a place to grill our food, a nice room that was very clean, right on the beach. It also had a Dollar General close by and a very lovely staff. Would definitely stay again! Thank you so much for bwing such a wonderful ecperience for our family! 100/10!!

Beautiful view and friendly hosts. We will be back.

The property is located right on the beach

One of our favorite getaway places! Michigan man putting up with Notre Dame and Penn State people! We've been there several times before and will be again.

We had a fantastic experienc

The location is perfect, we got to listen to waves crashing through the night. One of our favorite things.

Room could use some updating and a larger bed.

Neal the Manager was most welcoming & helpful during my visit. My room had a great ocean view with sunrise/sunsets unparalleled. The hanging flower baskets were a true welcome.

We reserved two nights at the Tradewinds in Rockaway Beach. The hotel and general area was very disappointing. We checked in around 3pm and were assigned a second story room, which was up three flights of stairs. The motel has no elevator, so we had to drag our suitcases up those stairs. We are in our 70’s, arthritic knees and such, the stairs were miserable and exhausting. The hotel IS beachfront, but while the street side appearance is somewhat manicured with flowers, the beachside is unkempt; dead grass and battered picnic tables set in a small area leading to the beach. The room was dated; small kitchen area and a fireplace that was taped shut with a big “out of order” sign. Bed was comfy and bath fine. The neighborhood was probably the biggest disappointment; depressed area with NO restaurants or shops nearby, only a taco truck and greasy spoon restaurant/bar within walking distance, away from the beach, across the railroad tracks and a very busy highway. IMO, Rockaway Beach, particularly this area, is NOT a resort area, it is a seedy town across the highway from a beach. Within an hour of checking in, I called the hotel and said we would be staying only one night, not two. The proprietor was agreeable and said that was not a problem, and he would only charge us for one night. We left at 7:30 am the next day, but we were charged the full amount of $560 on our credit card, so we were charged for both nights. Big disappointment. Not recommended.

Parking was limited due to renovation. Renovation should be listed prominently on Expedia listing.
