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.
