Two separate reservations and stays on consecutive days because of travel issues due to weather. The fact that we went back instead of looking for other accommodations should tell you something.

Everything was clean, some minor little things though: bathroom door in one room didn’t quite work, and one hand towel was missing in the other room. (Two adults both times.)

Other than that, everything was just fine. Plenty of well-lit parking, staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and if I am ever back in that area again, I intend to stay at the Apple Tree Inn again.

Excellent bargain.

We liked that it was pet-friendly and our room was clean. It was extremely hot due to the A/C being turned off. We only stayed in the room long enough to change clothes, so not sure how long it took to cool the room down, as we were gone for several hours. The room is dated, but we were only there to sleep for one night. The front desk person was wearing house shoes and a t-shirt, which seemed strange to me, but she was friendly. She explained that they had a full breakfast buffet and the service times. There was no full breakfast. There was a waffle maker and cereal. I was a little disappointed in that, but since I wasn't expecting breakfast, it wasn't that big of a deal. We didn't use the pool. I could see that other clientele were utilizing the pool as they came into the lobby, wrapped in towels and barefoot. GROSS! Lol! I would probably stay there again if it were just a one-night thing, like this time, just because of the location.

I ended up staying a week waiting to close on new home. Hotel was nice, hot tub and pool was awesome! Unfortunately many guest coming and going all hours of night slamming doors, and loud talking. Asked manager to move me to another room, but refused to accommodate me. Guess it doesn’t matter if their ratings go down. Several homeless lurking around area, and appeared to be drugged up! Apparently this town has a drug problem.

When we got in the first room it was nice until my mom went into the bathroom. She opened the lid on the toilet and it was full of poop. We complained and they put us in another room. The toilet in that room didn't flush but we stayed anyway because it was late. It seems like the bathrooms should be cleaned or at least checked before putting new people in the rooms. The manager did give us a refund because we didn't stay the second night. The bedrooms were clean and the staff was accommodating.

Parking was great, a few staff members were courteous and accommodating, but the morning staff members were sleeping. No breakfast on our first day, except toast, bagels and the waffle machine. The next day, the SAME napkin I put down to stop the waffle drip was still there. The mix seemed like the one from the day before because of hiw many air bubbles it had and the thickness. There WERE eggs and sausage the 2nd day, BUT since we saw a roach in the hallway and also found a younger roach in our room, I was too afraid to eat anything, but the waffles and packaged yogurt.

It appeared that our room was just remodeled. New everything. Bed was comfortable with nice linens. The room was very clean. Halls were just painted also, & it looked like the hall carpets were getting a cleaning. The only negative was that the TV was a bit wonky. We found the guide, but don't know how. To lower the volume, we discovered that the button on the TV needed to be used, & channels were quite a problem to maneuver.
However, clean is most important to us, & the housekeeping staff does a great job!

This was where we went for our honeymoon we went back for our 17th anniversary. There was a dirty wash cloth in the shower. The staff only came into the room and took the wash cloth. After showering the towel we used to dry the floor turned black. There was a brown stain on the top cover of the bed. One of the pill cases had what looked like blood on it. I removed the pillow case and the pillow had what looked like a bodily fluid stain on it. The sheets had what looked like oil stains on them. The hot tub in the room was the best part and even it doesn’t hold water for very long.

TV’s did not work correctly and when I tried to initially turn it on the cable was missing from the back of the television, and I had to ask the front desk to bring me a cable for the TV. When she came to the door, she told me how to hook it up and I had to put it on instead of somebody coming up and doing it for us. I obviously knew how to do it without being told, but I shouldn’t have needed to the showerhead was tied up with deflated balloons, and a ice bag to hold the hose in place the top of the toilet didn’t match the toilet that was in the bathroom. No wash cloths until I asked for some and only two towels for three people in one room I had to ask for more towels. Room was not very clean, and also the flush on the toilet was broke. Stated for two nights and our trash was never emptied or room cleaned. Overall, the hotel has fallen majorly and this is a place I’ve been staying in for over 30 years. It’s disappointing how far this place has fallen. I won’t stay there again.

The light in the bathroom ceiling was falling through. There was hair in the shower when we arrived and hair in the bedding. We found a wallet in the room showing it obviously hadn’t been cleaned well then there was chocolate (hopefully) melted into the nightstand drawer and boogers on the wall.
My husband was taking stuff to the car and had walked back through the door to the room in time to hear housekeeping hold up the bedding and ask if it was dirty enough to need changed.

The pool was green but hot tubs were clear and there was a box for a pool and spa heater that they obviously just installed because the bonus was the hot tub was hot and the pool was heated.

First, we couldn't get our keys to work....2 sets not working. Second, we had to move rooms because the ac and TV didn't work. The safety bar in the shower was missing and the room was dirty. The night staff (after 10) was AMAZING in making the sure the new room was up to par. Then when we booked a second night, we were supposed to change rooms but that room was dirty too, so we stayed where we were.
The young girl at the front desk was extremely rude, charged us (unauthorized mind you) for another person who DID NOT STAY but she assumed she did, so charged our card without our knowledge. She did this even though she was told by other staff that our guest left. Throughout our stay we had to leave our door open most of the time because every key (5 total) this young girl gave us stopped working within a couple hours. When we were told we could have late check out (with no charge) this young girl, again charged our card without our knowledge.
The hot tubs didn't work, again; been that way 2 months. When we asked about turning them on we were told, by this young girl, that the maintenance man was the one to do it and he wasnt there. All she did was shrug her shoulder and say no when we asked about whether she could call him.
Breakfast was limited because they didn't have the supplies needed, but again, night staff did their best to accommodate.
We are waiting to discuss these issues with the owner. We've been staying here 5 yrs...never had any trouble until the last 2 months

The rooms were comfortable and quiet. The service was excellent!! We discovered our microwave was not working and within 10 minutes of us finding this out, they had sent someone in to test it, then replace it!

Even though the service was great, there were a few.issues, but nothing that would stop us from staying again. There was no sugar available at their coffee bar, the pool was cloudy, and the hot tub temp was.lower than it should have been.

Even though there was quite a bit of maintenance that appeared to be needed, you could tell they were working on it.

One piece of advice is to make sure to bring your own toiletries.... because there weren't any in the room.

The TV in the bedroom didn't work, I killed 2 cockroaches, the deadbolt couldn't be used and the door latch was held in by 2 screws that were barely anchored into the wood. The sheets were stained and I was honestly scared to use the shower as soft as the tub was to stand in. When I asked for help using the heater in our room the front desk guy was really short and didn't show me how to use it just turned it on, pushed some buttons and said there it's on now. The front lobby smelled like marijuana and the only half way decent thing about the place was the hot tub...it is definitely not the place I remember from 20 years ago and I will not be staying there ever again.
