What guests think

Travellers describe Walla Walla Garden Motel as a well-kept, older roadside property with very clean, quiet rooms, hands-on owners, charming gardens, easy keyless check-in, and convenient drive-up parking that suits short, good-value stays near town.

Many note the rooms and bathrooms run small with a retro feel, though some bathrooms appear recently updated and beds are generally comfortable. The location sits just outside downtown and near the airport, making visits convenient by car but less ideal for walking to the core. Service is frequently praised as friendly and responsive, with quick fixes and accommodating staff, though a few report minor issues such as odors, worn items, or a cancellation problem. Expect a simple, budget-friendly stay with character.

This is an older motel-type property but our room is very clean and very quiet. We parked right outside our room. The digital door entry is easy to use and feels safe. Our TV was down when we arrived but a staff person came over right away and fixed the problem. The property is just outside downtown Walla Walla so convenient to restaurants, stores, etc.

Walla Walla Garden Motel is clean, comfortable, and quiet. They are completely keyless, so late check-in is no problem. It would be good to have the option to cover the glass block windows, as light pollution can interfere with sleep, but I will always check to see whether they have a vacancy.

1. The rooms are very small, miniature even, including the shower. Very far from downtown. Far too far for a walk. Limit your wine tasting because you will be driving. If your phone does not have email you can not get the secret code for your room, but you can get a normal key from the front desk. Make sure you arrive on time. Nice place to sit outside, and you will need it unless you are under 125 pounds and five foot five. Clean but older furniture. Not up to even motel 8 standards and priced higher. I would not stay here again.

We LOVED our stay at the Walla Walla Garden Motel. We were greeted warmly by the owner and their young family member. The check in process was easy and friendly. The room was very clean and had very nice amenities in it. It was also incredibly quiet for a motel. The owner told me the next morning that they had paid to have all the rooms better insulated. There wasn't that tinny sound you normally hear in motels. We never heard the other guests, though the place was full up. I would HIGHLY recommend this quaint little motel. It's just two miles from downtown and way more affordable than the local big chains. Five stars all around.

I was surprised at the size of the motel, but once I saw my room, I was satisfied with how fresh and clean the room was. Unfortunately, I was there for one night as I enjoyed being in Walla Walla and exploring the town and its eateries. I rested well and had a fresh start in the early morning. The motel rates are more than reasonable, and I'll stay at the Garden more often. Being that it is located in the city, the motel is surrounded by many great restaurants in a two mile radius. Enjoy!

This is a great little motel; a "hidden gem" as they say. It's older (1948?) but it has been remodeled inside. The bathroom / shower / tub was the nicest I've experienced in a long time. I also liked that I can park right in front of the door for easy loading and unloading. Service was super-friendly and good. This motel lacks some of the features of the chain hotels (breakfast, a pool, a brand name, high prices) but has everything I need for a pleasant stay. Five stars.

This hotel has been kept from the'40's? Or '50's? While it's def vintage, they've done so well at keeping it updated and comfortable. One note: ask for coffee pot if you need one before you check in. It'll save us coffee drinkers a stressful morning!!!!!!
