Tradewinds On-the Bay - View of high tide in Empire Spit as seen from the second level of Tradewinds on the Bay Hotel, Tokeland, WA.

First of all the views are spectacular. The room was so…read morebeautiful and clean. There was a kitchenette which was perfect. My great granddaughters (ages 6 and 7. They loved the pool. My sister Sharron works at the casino and drives the shuttle van. I'm going back.....the employees were awesome and accommodating.....

Some things I think others looking up this place will find useful:…read more *Each unit has entrances on both sides of the building, one facing the bay and one facing the other side. So: no need to worry about getting stuck with a unit that does not face the bay. *There are only 18 units in the whole hotel, each of them the same size: one bedroom, one bathroom, a living room with an electric fireplace, and a kitchenette. We always seek out places with kitchens or kitchenettes so we can cook in our unit are won't have to eat out every meal. One slight word of caution, though: these kitchenettes have a microwave and a stove top but no oven; and the refrigerator is pretty small. *The living room couch is also a hideabed, so the rooms technically sleep four each. There is a TV in both the living room and the bedroom. *The view of the bay is NOT a view of a beach, but there are some very positive things about this. First, the nightly rates are reasonable regardless of the time of year. Second, beyond a grassy area in front of the motel are tide flats, which fill up with water twice every 24 hours, at high tide. It's really fun to see the change when you're paying attention. Beyond the tide flats is the man-made Shoalwater Bay Berm, created to save Tokeland from the long term effects of increasingly severe weather events. The tide flats area between the hotel and the berm, that gets filled with water, is called Empire Spit. Google the area's tides for the day(s) you are there and you will know when to look for when the tide flats fill with sea water, as it doesn't stay full for very long. *The hotel is owned by the Shoalwater Bay Tribe and is on their land, as is the Shoalwater Bay Casino (the smallest casino I have ever been in). If you get a Players Club Card from the casino, which you do not have to do any gambling in the casino to get, you can use it to get 10% off your hotel booking. *The hotel has an outdoor pool that is heated, and a hot tub that is protected from the elements by a clear dome. There were no storms the two nights we stayed there, but I bet it would be fun to watch one from that hot tub. There is also a communal kitchen space for larger parties that can be booked for an extra fee. *I have seen other reviews complain about the lack of regular housekeeping, but this was not a big deal to us. And if you need fresh linens or toiletries, all you have to do is ask and the incredibly friendly staff will happily hook you up. In short, Tradewinds on the Bay is a modest place to stay that is also quite the hidden gem.

I back tracked 40 miles and found this motel. It's a little dated but large and very clean. The owner, a petite Korean woman really caters to her guests.

Can't think of any negatives…read more - Clean, well-appointed cabins. - Small kitchen is equipped with coffee maker (including coffee/filters), small fridge, oven, all the utensils, microwave. - Electric heat in two rooms, no A/C. - There's a TV although we never turned it on. - Wifi works. Also had 5G AT&T reception with 3 bars. - Lots of places outside to sit, grill food, relax. - Short walk to an expansive undeveloped beach. - Longer but still short walk to the only pub in town (Doc's Tavern). - Quiet. - If you stay during the annual Rod Run to the End of the World car show, you'll probably be treated to a few cottage neighbors staying here with their classic cars. We had a T-Bird, Mustang, Olds 4-4-2, late 50's Impala and some sort of old Dodge. Highly recommended.

The beach access is a short 5 minute walk and it's pretty sparsely used so it feels like you have the whole beach to yourself. Yeah, Washington beaches are cool and windy, but that means no one is there! The Long Beach peninsula is one of my favorite road trips. The cottages are super fun. Jeff is always accommodating and is just the nicest dude you could meet. There are beach chairs to borrow, WiFi, DVD/VHS movies to watch (we never have, too much to do!) and some really nice Weber grills shared amongst the cabins. The interiors are small, but it's called a "cottage" for a reason and that's part of the fun. Somehow we always show up with way too much stuff, making it a little cramped, but that's on us. The kitchen works, but don't plan to do much serious cooking in it. There are some useable tools, pots and pans, plates, silverware. Don't plan on cooking a Thanksgiving turkey or anything like that, though. Plan on doing some grilling on the Webers. You'll enjoy sitting outside and grilling with live fire a lot more than messing around with an unpredictable stove! This place is really dog friendly. Our little guy turns into a whole different dog when we come here. Somehow the beach and the freedom he has really brings out the inner wild and it's so fun to see. I couldn't help posting a few pictures. Can't wait to come back!

They helped with getting an extra blanket, and answered questions I had. Room: very comfortable beds. Very clean room with plenty of towels in the bathroom. There is a larger mini fridge and a microwave. It was nice to have the fridge to store food I had brought. Swimming Pool: small indoor pool and tiny hot tub. Both were warm. The front desk has to unlock the pool which is great for safety. My kids had a lot of fun playing in the pool. Breakfast: Amazing selection for breakfast. Several different stations around the big room it's served in which is nice for not having to wait in line for one thing. My kid's loved the make your own waffle station. I enjoyed the crunchy bacon and eggs. They use real plates and silverware which is great for lessening waste and single use plastics!

It's the biggest gym I have ever seen in a hotel. Very nice and spacious. More importantly it's clean! Pool & jacuzzi- they check your temperature before entering only certain amount of guest at a time. Large pool and perfect jacuzzi! My kids loved it. No one was ever using the pool either so it was perfect. The last few hotels we went too did not have a hot jacuzzi so myself and my kids were really happy to enjoy a nice Heated Jacuzzi set just right! To Go HOT!! I REPEAT - TO GO HOT BREAKFAST!!

Well, it's been a couple years since we've stayed here, the experience lives on it! A delightfully…read morerustic hotel from the late 1800s, located in a sleepy crabbing village. Purchased and renovated in the 20 teens, it's a perfect place for a weekend getaway. The rooms are as you would expect from a place that's been here for over 100 years. They're cozy, quaint, and each one leaves you wondering if it's haunted by a ghost with a somewhat pleasant British or old English accent. The bathrooms are shared, but never busy and there were plenty available. The main areas are great for lounging and there's a ton to explore! The restaurant was top-notch, the folks working here we're very nice, and the grounds were quite lovely. It sits a few hundred feet from the water, and at least when we were there, you could walk out to the ocean. One evening, we were able to come outside and make s'mores, and were greeted by many chickens that roamed the yard. It's been a few years since we were back, and it's the sort of place that I suspect we will make our way back to at some point.

Beautiful hotel with beautiful views. Loved the decor. Food was fresh and locally sourced…read more Really liked the seasoning of the avocado and arugula with buratta toast. Oysters also came with a barbecue mignonette which I thought was interesting. Pink chai panna cotta was very soft and creamy. It hit the spot. Definitely more expensive than Aberdeen and Seattle tho
