Trade Winds Motel

I stayed here on July 30, 2024. This hotel was my favorite during my cross country road trip. It appeared to be run by either one or two young couples who were super nice and helpful. They took great care of the grounds and the rooms were clean and spacious. The motel itself is a single story. I was using a scooter while battling a broken foot and had no issues getting around the parking lot or in/out of the room. There was a 1-2" curb from the parking lot directly in front of my room. There was probably a ramp at the end of the walkway, but I didn't need it for my scooter. There was a grab-n-go style breakfast in the morning with plenty of options for anyone. There are also several food options a few minutes down the road for lunch or dinner. Parking was easy. The bed and pillows were very comfortable! Perhaps most importantly, I felt safe as a female traveler with a dog. I took puppers outside at night with no worries and she had a clean, safe area to go potty. Highly recommend!

This is a very nice motel, right off the highway, but set back far enough so you don't hear any traffic noise. King size bed was very comfortable & lots of channel choices on the tv. Recliner in the room was nice. The dorm size refrigerator & small microwave were nice to have in the room. The only thing I can say against it was the faucet on the sink you are not able to turn on much. The shower was fine.

Place was a little rough around the edges, but all the important parts were fine. The good - Excellent wifi, beds were comfortable, AC worked good (it was really hot when I was there). The place was clean, but didn't have an overpowering bleach or cleaning agent smell. The not-so-good - I am 5'11, but the shower head hit me in the chest, there was an access panel removed and leaning up against the side of the fridge, there were dead bugs in the lights, the bathroom fan was in need of an upgrade, the bed and sink seemed short (the sink only came to my thigh). And my keys stopped working after one day, though the front desk staff was very quick and helpful in fixing it. If you can put up with a few minor non-functional nits, this place is a great value. It is on the outskirts of town (i.e. no fighting traffic), has a nice view of the sunrise, had plenty of parking and was one of the cheapest places in town.

This is a well maintained, clean motel with modern decor. The bathrooms are clean with plenty of hot water. The rooms are clean, orderly and always smell great. The owners are friendly and accommodating and they allow pets. It's conveniently located in the east end of Valentine near the Sinclair gas station, Henderson's IGA and Bomgaars farm and ranch store.

Wonderful old style roadside motel! It had by far the best reviews in Valentine Nebraska and did not disappoint! This is an old style single floor level motel with parking right out your front door, so it is easy to bring in your luggage and keep an eye on your vehicle (which doesn’t really matter in Valentine since it’s such a safe location). Super clean rooms and good water pressure. Room had a mini fridge, microwave and even a recliner rocker! Nice firm large bed. The breakfast was self serve heat up a cheese omelet microwave and yogurt, juice, toast etc. not as fancy as the big chains - but it’s a nice touch for an economical roadside motel. We told the reservations clerk that we would be arriving late around midnight driving in from Colorado and they even called us while we were enroute to check up on our arrival status. I highly recommend this place! Clean, comfortable, affordable, safe, and a good nights rest!

What a great value!This little motel is super clean, comfortable and quiet! I was skeptical because their prices are low so we didn’t book in advance. Wanted to wait til we at least pulled into the parking lot. It was neat as a pin so we snagged the last room. It’s not updated, so if that’s important to you, skip it. But if you want a nice, clean room, this is your place!

Overall, nice experience. Room was clean and staff was very friendly. Would stay again. Breakfast could be a little better, but at least there was breakfast (the omelettes are “heat your own” in the microwave). Courtyard in the middle is a nice place to relax in the evening.
