Stayed at the Finch for the second time. The location is perfect for taking advantage of everything downtown Walla Walla has to offer. A plethora of wine tasting rooms, great restaurants, shopping, all within walking distance.The rooms at The Finch are very modern with a cool minimalist industrial vibe. BUT, they put 4 extremely bright, bare bulb ceiling lights that are garishly obnoxious right over the TV. The room designer should be taken out and shot. At the very least, put a dimmer switch on them. It gives an otherwise nice room all the warmth and coziness of a nuclear power plant control room.Rooms: Horrible lightingNearby activities: Wine tasting. Great restaurants. Upscale shopping.Walkability: Very close to downtown.

Check-in was easy and came with a wine tasting. Very unique. The room was spacious and clean. I do wish the bathroom door was a properly closing door, the one they have is a sliding door that doest latch or seal. The room had a mini fridge but no microwave. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of cable channels. Main parking was full after coming back from dinner, so we had to park on the street, but wasn't really a problem. Across the street from Safeway, a variety of restaurants andna cafe which is very convenient.

Beautiful rooms with a store right next door. Had to travel here for work. No regrets on my choice of lodging.

I like the Finch. Gave it a try because I really like it's "sister" hotel the Heliotrope in Bellingham. Same good vibe, thoughtful design and friendly staff. Great coffee all day and I love the fire pit with real wood. Solid choice in Walla Walla.

I can't say enough good things about the Finch. I drive through Walla every year and have been so happy to find the Finch a few years ago when looking for new dog friendly places to stay. Walla used to be a one hotel kind of place, but now we have many choices! My choice will always be the Finch now. They have great and modern decor, super fun activities, and they're really dog friendly! The service is outstanding and location is just right. 10/10 would recommend!

Friendly and accommodating staff. Clean rooms. Close to everything downtown. Enjoyed the wine tasting on Wednesday. Nice relaxing fire pit in the evening. If I were to make one suggestion it would be to have 1 comfortable chair in the room. Had a great time.

Start by saying motel was clean, bed ok, good for an overnight..My issue is this... The cost with a pet ($35), and tax was almost $200, too much for what it is..

The Finch was awesome, stayed for 2 nights, to visit wife's family in Walla Walla. Great location, can walk to almost everything . Rooms were clean and very nicely set up . The only hiccup we encountered was we booked a king, but was put in a queen, as soon as we bought it to their attention, it was taken care. Would definitely recommend and stay again

The Finch is The Perfect Hotel / Motel... *if* you're traveling with pets. Or want to go eat with your pets. There are two great restaurants with outdoor patios right up the street. You can see them both from The Finch's free of charge parking garage. Which isn't very big. Luckily we arrived in time so we didn't have to drag our luggage across the street from their overflow lot! Don't let the comp breakfast or free bike rental fool you! When we checked in we were explained that it's not really breakfast and their bike is already unavailable... Exceptional bed & bedding ! Definitely 5 stars there. Our room was nice & clean. We didn't run out of anything. There was one hiccup with our window shades. The track seemed to be off or something. We thought it was going to break as we were trying to close them! Housekeeping - Gabby ! She definitely went above & beyond! FIVE STARS FOR GABBY!!!(10/13-14/22)

4.5 starsThe Finch motto is "everything you need and nothing you don't". This newly renovated "hotel" used to be a "motel" in a previous lifetime, so don't expect the Four Seasons. The room and bathrooms are on the smaller side, but who comes all the way here to stay in the room? Sleep here then go and see the wineries, golf courses, bike paths and restaurants! There are no elevators, you have to carry your luggage up the steps yourself (no bell desk), and the covered parking lot isn't enough for all the cars, so if you come in late, you'll have to park across the street in an open lot. One thing you won't see in the online reservations (call them to book this) is the BUNK ROOM. The room feels like a dorm room with 2 bunk beds (sleeps 4). The beds in the bunk are super comfortable too. This would have worked out for us but because this hotel is pet friendly (yay!), my son had huge allergies to whatever pet was previously in this room so we ended up getting another room for the second night which was fine.PRO:-LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Walking distance to Whitman college & all the wine tasting rooms in downtown Walla Walla. This alone is what allows them to charge hotel prices ($250-300/night! August 2022)-COMFORTABLE BEDS! Bunks, king beds were super comfy and bedding (sheets etc) were excellent.-one block from Safeway -TEXT COMMUNICATION- they don't have phones in the room, so you can text the front desk anytime and get a quick response (re: check out, renting bikes etc). Shout outs to Jessica, Bri, Ashleigh and Jason who all were on top of things.-CRUISER BIKES-they have 2 bikes on site for free rental -PET FRIENDLY-this could be a pro and a con, depending on who you are -STAFF SUPER HELPFUL-all of them were top notch!-retro style refrigerator in room-simple breakfast snack in mornings with coffee, and popcorn/snacks in afternoon, wine tasting in evening!-cornhole and other small games in courtyardCON:-no elevators (only 2 floors)-no laundry facility-no on-site restaurant/bar (think of this more like an inn)-walls are not really soundproofed (bring earplugs)

Cute motel located right outside downtown Walla Walla. Staff was very friendly, the room and the lobby were clean, and there were different attention to details such as a welcome drink & neighborhood guide. The building does not have an elevator, so you will need to carry up the luggage up the stairs.

Such a clean and quiet place to stay! Esthetically pleasant as well. Room stayed cool all day/night which is important for the summer time. We brought our dog with us and they provided a bag with a blanket, a water bowl, poop bag and a bandana. Super sweet of them! I would definitely stay here again.

If I was reviewing The FINCH on the comfort of the bed and linens (most important in many ways) I would have given them a 5! Slept like a baby!Our room was facing the office and at night even with everything closed there was a lot of light from the parking lot coming through - and at times a little noisy, even with our white noise machine that we travel with. I love the community feeling of having coffee with folks in the lobby in the morning, but I don't love having to get dressed and leave the room to get that cup. I'm sure it's a cost saver, but perhaps they could consider charging a fee if you wanted a coffee maker in the room for your stay. The decor of the room was really ORANGE!, and as someone in their mid sixties, LOW. Definitely got my squats in getting up from both the sofas, and the bed. The room also seemed to be sort of unfinished, (We had a suite) there wasn't any art in the living space and the placement of the microwave and refrigerator was haphazard. Having said all that, the location is awesome - easy walk to all of the fun downtown district. The grounds are fun and relaxing thanks to zen like rock wood sculptures and raked pea gravel The parking is simple and plentiful. From a "pyro's" point of view the communal fireplace in the evening was a really nice way to enjoy some of the wine we collected along the way. Last but certainly not least, the entire staff was friendly and helpful, and truly added to the long weekend of fun! We'll be back!!!
