Trade Winds Motel — Hotel in Treasure Island

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 8 days this past June. Roota the owner is super sweet and helpful. This place was amazingly affordable and for us being that we spent 95% of our days and nights out and about it at the beach we simply needed somewhere clean and convenient and somewhere that wouldn’t take a huge chunk out of our vacation funds. He’s stayed there many times in the past and while I originally wanted to stay at a hotel with a lot of amenities, after staying there at Trade Winds I will never stay anywhere else. The pool was clean and never busy. We felt like we were just at our own place. Her selective booking of rooms means you aren’t inundated with tons of people to fight you for parking and you have all of the benefits of the beach vacation without the big money spent. There is a Publix right across the street and there is direct beach access right passed the pool. All and all we had an amazing time and as long as roota is there at the tradewinds, she will have our business yearly! ||I attached pictures of the gorgeous sunsets you can experience right out of...

We went at the end of February looking for an amazing winter get away. The pictures looked wonderful but whether don't tell you is. most everything is closed during this time of year. It is convention central and going down to get a coffee in the morning while on vacation but having everyone around you in their business best, while you are in your beach best, is not relaxing. The rooms are small and less than desirable. We asked to move to Guy Harveys and while the rooms are much, much larger, our suite was at the end of the unit and every night until midnight we had a concert with piercing music screaming through our door. The only good thing about he hotel is the convenience to their restaurant, which we ate at a few times. Sadly we will not be back. We were also surprised at the beach. We have stayed numerous times in Clearwater, where the beaches are soft, white sand. In St Pete's, it looked like I was back at the Jersey Shore....

as referenced in the title of my review, the location is perfect. this is an older property but kept in good shape. relaxing pool overlooking the gulf of mexico. You can sit on one of the many lounge chairs or set up by the water. Treasure Island is a beautiful wide beach. You can walk (5 minutes) to the supermarket (Publix). It is a 8 minute walk up the beach to Sloppy Joes or Ricky T's. 20 minute walk south down the beach to caddys and Katiki. Johns Pass is also close by. The onsite management is always available if needed, and very friendly. I was quarantined here for the month of March 2020 and loved it. They also have a grill for guests to use. Rooms are old but clean, my room came with a fridge/microwave and coffee maker. Stay at Trade Winds and use your savings for a nice dinner at one of the many great restaurants and...
