For the price this place is a deal. Breakfast isn't anything to write home about, but our room had a private deck (out 25% of the rooms have these). The room had new paint and carpet -- the bathroom was updated, and there were three nice pillows on each of the beds. Towels a bit thin, but super clean. It wasn't the Ritz, but for the night we were there it was fine. Fridge and microwave in the room, and walking distance to downtown and all the tasting rooms.

This is an old-school Travelodge with few amenities, aside from a decent pool. But the AC worked fine, though it was a little noisy; and the location is excellent if you're strolling downtown. Breakfast is basically weak coffee, dry cereal and a selection of tiny donuts. I would only recommend this motel to friends who wanted an outdoor pool (which was clean), a short walk downtown and very low rates. (When I got home and discovered I had left behind a prized pair of shoes, the man at the front desk said he would promptly return them COD. I got them back within three days.)

I left it too late to book elsewhere (there was an event in Walla Walla and all other hotels were full). What a horrible surprise. They say the French are dirty! Well I've never seen anything like this in my home country. I felt like I was in a cheap B porn movie. Stains everywhere, crumbs, the various surfaces (table, bedside table) were greasy... If it hadn't been so cold (snowy and well below freezing point) I would have slept in my rental car. I went to the supermarket and bought some detergent to clean at least the toilet and washbasin. I didn't take a single shower in 5 days, washed myself and my hair at the basin -very practical. Never for one second did it occur to me to wear my usual travel slippers, I jumped straight out of bed into my boots. Instead of covering myself with the sheets, I put the heating on full blast and just lay there in my pjs, knee high socks and fleece, incapable of sleeping. It smelled horrible, I guess the room is never aired. I skipped breakfast because I couldn't face the smell of sour curry at 8:00 am (that is how the reception lobby smelled like). The back window onto the parking lot is the bathroom window. It was clear so that basically any voyeur could come and watch me while I was in said bathroom. I taped a towel to it with some band aid I had. To top it all, it didn't close well, so that I was actually afraid of intrusion. Steer clear of this place, especially as the rate goes up from 45 to 75 $ during events in Walla Walla, which is what I ended up paying for what I call a bad, bad brothel room. Appalling. Depressing. Scary.

Older place...like all Travelodges I've experienced. Easy walk to downtown. Easy access to Whitman College. Fairly quiet. Minimal breakfast in the morning, but adaquete. Didn't use it, but the outdoor swimming pool area was clean.

Rooms not as clean as they should be...a few "crumbs" on the floor and a cobweb behind the door. We were in one room one night and another the second night and in each room there was a lamp with a bulb burned out.
