Hotel Sprocket Rocket in W2!

[KQ]

Fall opening planned for Main St. hotel
The Finch, operating in the former Red Lion Inn & Suites spot, will feature draws for bicyclists, local art and more.






The operation incorporates Walla Walla’s draw as a road-cycling destination by offering an on-site tuneup station and multiple storage options. The hotel has purchased two cruiser bikes from Allegro Cyclery to have on hand for guest use.

“Walla Walla is a destination that has something for everyone, and The Finch will serve as the perfect base camp for our guests,” said General Manager Matt Skaletsky in a prepared statement. “This hotel reflects the beauty and innovation of the region, offering a modern, comfortable and creative space to explore, indulge and relax. We look forward to welcoming guests to The Finch this fall, just in time for one of the most festive times of year in wine country.”

The hotel experience features Livit Coffee Co. coffee along with a selection of herbal teas, an assortment of local fresh breakfast snacks each morning, a custom-designed Map Room and free Field Guide travel journals at check-in, to help navigate the area.

The rooms each feature custom wall installations created by regional artists and inspired by Walla Walla’s food, wine and outdoor culture. An example given is a design by Whitman College graduate Yogesh Simpson of an infographic depicting soil compositions of wineries in the southwest to northeast Walla Walla regions. Other room features touted include plus mattresses, Malin+Goetz bath products, cozy bathrobes and bathrooms with walk-in tile showers.

Rates will begin at $159 per night.
