Walla Walla has to be one of Washington's most beautiful places. Rolling wheat fields, Blue Mountains to the east, a quaint Main Street, tree-lined streets with hundred-year-old houses, three colleges – Whitman College, Walla Walla University and Walla Walla Community College – and more wineries than you can shake a stick at.
The Colonial Motel is east of town on busy E. Isaacs Avenue with services nearby. Its owners live on site, they're friendly and helpful, and the rooms are squeaky clean with lots of nice touches. For example, cotton blankets and white bedspreads like your grandmother's guest room (no standard-issue hotel bedspreads here); GLASS drinking glasses; a porch light; our room had a seating area in the bathroom for drying hair or applying makeup and a tiny kitchenette. The kitchenette fortunately stocked flatware so I had a spoon with which to eat my peanut butter chocolate ice cream. Comfortable, clean and cozy. $85.00 per night.
The Whitman Mission site is just west of town. Gorgeous views and a stillness that belies the horror of the Whitman Massacre, which took place here in 1847.
