We enjoyed our stay at the Trade Winds Inn. Before we arrived we got a message with a link to a You Tube video to show us how to navigate the property along with written instructions about how to find the building entrance for check-in. The property is quite large with several blocks of rooms so the way finder was very helpful. Navigating through the hallways felt like we were inside a cruise ship which added to our sense of adventure, visiting this seaside resort town for the first time. The room was pleasant and as pictured on Booking.com. There was ample storage for our things with a walk-in closet, a full dresser with a pop up mirror built into the top, as well as two bedside tables. With the sofa and two accent chairs with a small round side table between, we had lots of room and options for seating and places to dine in the room. The highlights were your friendly and accommodating front desk staff and proximity to the ocean. We enjoyed the town even though we aren’t used to places that roll up the sidewalks at 8pm. It worked for us since we aren’t nightlife kind of folks! The quiet, quaint, small-town feel was just what we were looking for in a relaxing vacation stay. We discovered Rockland is called the art capital of Maine and we REALLY enjoyed the many galleries available to view local art as well as highlighting other artists from around the world. We didn’t have enough time to visit the Farnsworth Museum but , we will catch it next time we come to town.

Our only critical reviews would be that we had a couple of light bulbs that flickered in the bathroom but, we just unscrewed them and it wasn’t enough of a bother to mention it during our stay. We did message the property after we left so they could address the issue for the next guests. And, even though the ocean can be seen from the property,, our room faced a parking lot instead of the ocean. Again, it wasn’t an issue since we got such a great deal through Booking.com and we didn’t even mention it at all. We would recommend if you want the view , be sure to request when you book your room!!

the website said breakfast was available but the hotel said they did not have it

I loved the location and proximity to restaurants and shops. Easy to get in and out of town for day trips. The beds were very comfortable. The other furniture could use an upgrade.

We were in a non-smoking room yet the smoke from the folks below us permeated our room. Very difficult to breathe and sleep. Some of the furniture could use an upgrade.

The location was great! Beautiful view of the Harbor from my room, close walking distance to go down to the Harbor or up to shops and restaurants!

Was told that breakfast was included, but the only stuff they had out was coffee, a machine that made pancakes and bacon. No other options. The sound from other rooms was quite loud, whether it was walking or even could hear some conversations!

The room was large updated and clean. The bed was very comfortable, great shower!

The hallways were filthy. The last day of our trip they decided to change the lock on the door to a keypad but did not tell us. Kind of strange when you come back to your room and can’t get in. Also the continental breakfast was a joke

Great location and view of the harbor. The room was like a suite, very spacious with a sofa. Very clean and cheery. Off street parking was on site, making checking in and out easy. The staff were very friendly. Great value to top it off.

The hotel is under renovation, but we were in a newly refurbished room. We were not bothered by any ongoing work.

Location is a priority for me so I can come to Rockland the night before and get the early ferry to North Haven. The continental breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, coffee and juice with waiter service was a AWESOME. I was expecting the usual yogurt etc that you get yourself. It's pet friendly and there was a yippy dog on our floor. I spoke to the front desk who took care of the problem and when we returned from dinner the floor was quite until we checked out.

nothing

The beds were comfortable and there was a screened in balcony. A nice restaurant was within walking distance.

An included breakfast would have been nice. The air conditioning made the screened in porch warm. I wish hotels would have nightlights in bathrooms so that I wouldn't have to turn on the bright light at might.

Great location. Nice views from the room. Staff was super friendly and helpful. They got us an early check in and were very good at communicating.

Very old heat/AC unit that made noises and leaked water. It made sleeping difficult. A bit outdated and not all rooms of the same category are equal.

The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. It was quiet.

The continental breakfast consisted of pancakes and yogurt. Upon checking in, we were given the wrong keys. We booked two rooms, side by side. The two rooms were no where near each other. We were given directions to our room that seemed like a maze. We discovered a direct route out of the building. The light on the balcony was very bright.
