No economical choices in this town. I guess they think the wine thing makes them really special. That said, the Barn Motor Inn offers decent value (relative to local options). We were attending a local winery dinner and decided we'd rather spend money on wine than more expensive accommodations in the local mediocre chain motel that is hugely overpriced. The Barn Motor Inn served its purpose fine for a night. It's circa 1970s interior, but the room was clean, the TV worked and got all the standard cable stations, and the mattress was new enough to offer good support. We asked for a quite room and got one. Both of us slept pretty well. The front office staff was pleasant and they had fresh coffee in the morning (no continental breakfast here).

We didn't eat at the restaurant, but stopped in to check it out. The hostess gave us glasses of water to drink while we were just standing around because we told her we'd been drinking a lot of wine. Menu prices looked fairly reasonable and they have a rather random assortment of antiques and local cattle brands to decorate the place.

I'd stay here again for a night for the same reason we chose it in the first place. We've stayed in much newer and nicer places for less in other locales, but Prosser just doesn't have much to choose from. The Barn Motor Inn sure beats a DUI trying to drive to the Tri Cities or Yakima to overnight after drinking.

We stayed to do an off season self wine tour, and the staff made us feel real comfortable and welcome. The restaurant was filled with antiques and the menue was diverse. I ordered something they called the Tender Burger and what a treat-I is a Filet Mignon butterflied and pounded into a burger and served with Horse Radish. something wierd until I tried it.. WOW!!!

A must stop and stay if you want the inside guide to the valley and where to go when touring the wineries.

Stayed during the Hot Air Balloon Rally. Friendly folks and what I expected for the price. The room was very clean (and I am pretty picky about cleanliness). Beds were uncomfortable but, again, to be expected for the price.

Beware! At $62.50 per night I don't expect a lot of amenities, but I do expect the place to be clean and comfortable. The carpet was filthy, the bathroom was filthy along with soap scum, filthy ring in the toilet, scummy bathtub and surround, and the shower curtain had that beautiful orange scum all over it. Every surface was sticky, including the door knobs. The lamps didn't work and the remote didn't work. The air conditioner is a requirement in that area of the state and every time the compressor kicked on, it sounded like the building was going to blow up; kept us awake most of every night. We couldn't leave and they have a 24 hour cancel and we had made reservations for 4 days. Dinners were way over priced. Maybe I should just write about what was good. Nope, can't think of a thing........
