Nice Hotel

Staff were very friendly and the rooms weee spacious and clean. A quick overnight stay before going to the Black Hills. The Hotel is on the edge of town and it is very quiet even while along the highways will definitely stay here again in the future when visiting or passing through the area.

We enjoyed our night at Trade Winds. The bed was notably comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was well-sized. Parking was right outside the door and it is well-located to highways into and out of Valentine. It is also quite affordable.

Nice, clean, serves a breakfast on the go

The girl that checked us in was super friendly and professional. We had no idea what to do there as we were just passing through so she suggested some local spots including a Husker tailgate party at a church that was a hoot! This is one of the best motels we’ve stayed in - very clean, reasonable, they take pride in what they do, serve an on the go breakfast, comfortable beds and they obviously value guests. We’ll book it again if we are in Valentine!
