Hotels near Walla Walla Regional Airport - ALW, Walla Walla

If you enjoy seeing the architecture of cities, this one has some beautiful homes and old buildings. There's also a Human Bean at the Home Depot entrance and they make the best white chocolate mocha, Snowy of any coffee shop!

Walla Walla is a cool place. Its main street is colorful and vibrant. It compels you to park and walk up and down along inviting shops and restaurants. It's an older city relative to Washington--mid-nineteenth century. This is a good thing. I don't know why, but it appears architectural style is a casualty of World War II. I'm from back east, and the old campus of Whitman College takes me back to Old Virginia. This is Washington Wine Country, mind you, and wine people are uppity. Happily, the greater city affords escape when you need it. I liked the ambience and clientele of The Green Lantern. Check it out. They have a Bud Man tap pull on display. That, itself, is worth the trip. Walla Walla is also home to a semi-pro ballclub called the Walla Walla Sweets. How about catching a ball game for $15 a seat and $5 drafts? And don't miss Pioneer Park, its rescue aviary, and the whimsical Oregon Trail statue. Drive the neighborhood, too. Exudes charm. In short, we love the place.

It's a cute little town; an oasis in what is otherwise an un-interesting agricultural area. There are lots of wine tasting rooms right in town which we liked because we'd driven all day to get there and wanted to be out of the car. Be aware that the wine tasting rooms all close by 6pm; we thought this was silly of them because we really wanted to do some tastings after dinner. Many good restaurants available; we had sushi which was fabulous and the quality was competitive with what we get in Seattle. We spent only the 1 night because we were transiting through from somewhere else, but it's best experienced if you can plan for 2 or 3 nights which allows for some day trips out to the wine estates. A great area, we are so lucky it's close to home.

We came in on a Sunday afternoon, Labor Day weekend. None of the wine taasting rooms wthin walking distance of downtown were open. We ended up at The Marc and had appetizers and wine - all delicious. Our travel plans had us leavng town the next morning, but we would consider coming back, but not on a Sunday.

Fun town with good restaurants and wine bars. But don't forget to go out to the wineries. The surrounding area is so beautiful. If you have time, take a bike ride. Walk to the park...they have an amazing park with an aviary. Nice place to spend a few hours.

Walla Walla is vibrant and charming! The downtown has MANY attractive tasting rooms - wine and other spirits - as well as a variety of restaurants and wonderful boutiques. Lots of art and music events. It's very walkable, with pretty, tree-lined neighborhoods close to downtown. Whitman College is lovely. The surrounding area is the gorgeous Palouse - beautiful wheat fields and vineyards.
