Wow, my last night here. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful “home away form home” for me. I always feel I’m such a favorite coming back for a visit and who doesn’t love feeling so special. The Colonial sis such a safe clean & darling place. The best value in town! You’ve created such a gem here and I’m so grateful to have had you to “come home to.” I’m traveling on but I’ll see you again.

Best Wishes

I stayed at your motel back in September when we were passing through on our bikes. We made it to Portland and have settled in just fine! We think fondly of our stay in Walla Walla and of that delicious bottle of L’Ecole No41 that you gave us. Hope you are well. thanks for your hospitality and for making our stay relaxing and memorable!

Dear Carolyn,

Just a quick note to say thank-you for your wealth of information on the city of Walla Walla. We truly appreciate your honesty. We had a great time in Walla Walla and we enjoyed staying at the “Colonial Motel” and the bonus of your hospitality. We look forward to seeing you again and perhaps making Walla Walla our new home.

Thanks again for everything.

Dear Dick and Carolyn,

We enjoyed your friendly hospitality during our recent stay at the Colonial Motel. As bicyclists, we especially appreciated your tips regarding the local cycling routes. We were also grateful to be able to lock our bikes in your storage unit when we weren’t riding. An added bonus was the proximity of the motel to several trailheads.

Looking forward to next time,

Thank you so much for returning my credit card. I hadn’t discovered I didn’t have it yet. I had put it in my pocket and then sat out in the yard park visiting with my cousin.

We really like staying at your motel and now I know we will again. You are a great person. Thank you so much again.

Sincerely,

Well, we expected our usual delightful stay in your charming motel with it’s beautiful garden and your wonderful hospitality. What we weren’t expecting was your going the extra mile(Well, 16 mile round trip, actually!) to deliver our computer case that we foolishly forgot in our room, to the Whitman Mission. Just when we thank customer service is a thing of the past, we found it alive and kicking at the Colonial Motel! We’re already looking forward to our next stay.

Sincerely,
