La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Walla Walla

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was excellent, and our room was really clean. The staff was very professional and cordial. We had a very nice day there."

Quality Inn & Suites Downtown Walla Walla

6/10 Okay

"The location was great because it was right off the freeway, so it was very easy access and close to a lot of restaurants that were even walkable. The room itself was a bit to be desired. The pillows had stains on them that were very large and gross looking. I thought it was just a pillowcase, proceeded to take it off and found that it was also on the pillow. We asked to have our room made up as there is a note on the mirror in the bathroom that states you have to ask if you wanted housekeeping to clean your room. They said that they would and they never did so on our third day. We had no toilet paper and no clean towel’s and obviously no clean bedding."
