What guests think

At Best Western Tradewinds, guests consistently highlight the walkable, bay-side location near Morro Rock, while opinions diverge on service and upkeep, with experiences ranging from warmly helpful and efficient to rude interactions, delayed check-ins, and housekeeping lapses.

Cleanliness is mixed: many find rooms tidy, but others report musty or moldy odors, stained carpets, and maintenance problems like leaking toilets or broken fixtures. Room quality varies, with some updated, comfortable spaces and bay views, but small bathrooms, noise from traffic or appliances, and occasional A/C or hot-water issues. Breakfast is generally appreciated for its options, though the dining area is small and service can start late or feel cramped. Expect a convenient, budget-friendly motel-style stay with uneven consistency.

Located very close to the harbor, restaurants and bars. Parking for guest and also a Tesla v3 charger on site. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Nice clean room. They have a nice sun deck on property which is a great place to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset. A very nice premium continental breakfast is provided by the hotel. Great place to stay with the family. Will be back.

This was a nice hotel to stay at. We didn’t have the view of the rock from our room but the other side of the hotel did. I liked the 2nd floor outdoor seating area. The outdoor seating area had enough furniture to sit on during breakfast. They have a small parking area but I didn’t have trouble finding parking in the lot. The beds we’re also comfortable.

The room was not ready on time it was available 45 minutes late. The room had a very strong smell of Fabuloso/Pineso. The smell was so strong that gave me a head ache. The staff was being rush to get the rooms ready, and they only clean it half way done. The floors where not swept. The toilet was leaking, the pillow cases where not changed. I felt very discusted with the room condition, because it felt fealthy. I had to put towels on top of my pillows because I felt very unconfortable. I will not stay in that hotel anymore.

Lights from the cars hit you right in the eyes on the first floor of the blinds are open. Stingy hotel, didn’t wanna give 30 mins late checkout for free. Service was just okay. Could have been cleaner!

Our stay wasn’t the worst stay I’ve had, but it is by far the worst Best Western I’ve stayed at. The air conditioning did not work and I was hot all night and couldn’t sleep. The bathroom was missing body wash and the tub was sandy from the previous guests. I would definitely stay somewhere else if you can afford it.

Taking one star off because the bed frame made a loud banging noise in response to almost any movement and the staff was more than 30 minutes late opening for the breakfast on the last day of my stay. (Ended up eating next door at Carla's instead)

The hotel was nice, clean and convenient for our stay. Unfortunately there were a few downsides which I felt let down the experience. When we arrived, we were given a room which still had guests in. Although quickly rectified, we weren’t the only ones checking in with issues. We had big issues with the shower. It was either freezing cold or scalding hot, with no in between so unfortunately, it was a cold shower or nothing. Finally, the air conditioning unit was a constant noise all night which wasn’t the most pleasant noise to try and sleep too. When going to check out the following morning, there was nobody at the desk to express some of our issues too. After waiting a few minutes, we left our key and departed. In summary, the hotel is nice enough, it’s just disappointing that we had the issues that we did as it spoilt our stay a little. Fortunately, we were just using it as a place to rest for the night rather than an extended period however I would have left for another hotel if we had booked more than one night.

Mother daughter trip to get out of the triple digit heat in Bakersfield. We very much enjoyed our stay. Check in was easy and staff member Garrett was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. All the staff we encountered were very friendly. However, the bathroom was a bit small, and shower head needs updating as the water came out as a spray. Could probably use new pillows too. But otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and will stay there our next visit. It is super close to food/shops/Morro rock/beach.

When we arrived for our 3 PM check-in, the office was locked up, with a note saying someone would return shortly….slowly, but surely people started lining up at the door. People had been waiting there for an hour before I got there trying to get into the lobby to check in, the person in the lobby that day was MIA finally returning around 3:30 with some lame excuse about having to return a customers computer, same thing happened the next two mornings when I got up to go into the lobby at 6 AM to grab coffee, the lobby was locked up nobody to be found with a note on the door saying they would return by 7:30 AM! Of all the years I’ve been staying at hotels I have never encountered this type of poor management. The room was another letdown, they squeezed two queen beds into a room that was obviously only meant for maybe a twin. You had to turn sideways to walk at the end of the bed and the dresser to get to the bathroom. This was the shoddiest hotel room, and hotel experience ever I will never return .

Owner refused to check in guests that waited and waited to get into their rooms. She was in the back in the phone which was on speaker phone. No one started checking guests in until 20 minutes after check in time. Not very organized. Owner said when person came back from lunch we’d be checked in. Who goes to lunch during check in time? One towel short in room and never brought after being requested.

We just stayed a night, but absentmindedly left a personal item behind in the room.

Thanks Michelle and Lori!!

The old woman who was on the front desk of the hotel when we checked in around 8-9pm was so rude. She snapped fingers at us. And when our AC was not working she asked us to fix it by ourselves and when we were going the same she came and spoke very rudely asking us to get out and all the curse words. You can see the CCTV’s for proof. By her behaviour it almost seemed like she was did drugs. Please do a background check prior to listing them in the website as it gives a bad name to your website as well. We also heard that she was probably the owner of the motel. Also, yes, it’s listed as a hotel but when in reality it’s just a motel.

We had an issue with our door not closing, but Garrett fixed it with no issues. They have a great breakfast too! Lots of options to choose from. The gentleman who checked us in and out was super pleasant as well. Will definitely be staying here next time we go to Morro Bay.
