Such a cute and great hotel. We stay here pretty often and it never disappoints. The staff are great and the hotel is very nicely done. It's in a great location and we've never had a bad or disappointing experience.

Great evening staff that cared enough to be helpful with the type of room preferred and local information. Professional hospitality is back to this hotel and I will be back.. oh the bed was a bit too soft for me…. But the shower was great, rooms well, and creatively appointed.

Clean, neat rooms with an interesting astetic. Some of the finer details need polish but a good deal none the less. Sound proofing could be better snd the ac was louder than i would like but well worth it in the aggregate.

Stayed in the Finch motel, for the first time. The room had a very interesting aesthetic. Retro chic, with modern function. Our bed was very comfortable, the shower was great, lots of room! Grab a Red Bull before settling in for the night. There is no coffee pot in the room. Wich delayed my caffeine intake. The coffee in the lobby was delicious!

Overall a good location for walking downtown. Rooms are generally close to streets and intersections, plenty of road noise so if you are a light sleeper, you might struggle. The nightly rate demands slightly higher quality in the room and it's amenities, in my opinion.

What a spectacular hotel! These renovated boutiques can be hit or miss but the Finch hits. Great service, spacious rooms, and a welcoming aesthetic, not to mention a short walk to downtown Walla Walla. We’ll definitely stay here again!

We had so much fun! Games in the courtyard (oversized yahtzee dice, jenga, cornhole), fireplace toasting things up at night between 5PM and 10PM, and that FOOD TRUCK oh, yeah! Front desk spot on helpful (ie helped us navigate to an out of town spot for perfect viewing of Orionid meteor shower). Will absolutely use the link I just got to rebook. This place is a darling gem.

This was our 2nd time staying at The Finch. It is fabulous. The location, staff, and room layout is incredible. i love that they provide Malin and Goetz bathroom products as they are second to none and have you smelling like a Roman Gawd! But in all seriousness, we love this spot. If you are looking for a place in downtown Walla Walla, look no further.
