Don't Judge a Place by it's Cover

This is definitely one of those motels that you don't judge by the cover. Hands down one of our best stays for the price. The room was clean, the service was great, and we will definitely consider this as our first choice stay if we choose to go back to Valentine, NE. We needed to work on my girlfriend's car and they were accommodating with our request. Our ONLY complaint is that we're both tall, and the shower head wasn't high enough in the shower, but that isn't enough to deter us from going back. 10 out of 10 recommend Trade Winds Motel for your stay in Valentine.

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!

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!
