After reading other reviews on here I was very nervous to stay at this hotel, however due to an opera on Valentine's day weekend... there were not a lot of options. I can say that I was pleasantly surprised. We rented room 204 which is a room with three queen size beds in it. This is a very nice feature... More

We were not pleased with our stay at the Apple Tree Inn. It should have been a red flag while checking in one of the hotel guests came into the lobby stating he had to sleep on a towel the night before because there were skid marks on his sheets. One month previous to our stay my 92 year old... More

We recently stayed at the Apple Tree Inn and unfortunately didn't have the best experience. Some top reasons: 1) Upon our first phone conversation, the owners were VERY hard to communicate with and were rude when we asked for clarification if they had our room reserved or not (got frustrated and told us to call back later!).

This is a basic motel in a small midwestern town. Nothing of particular note, but the owners are friendly and accomodating. No swimming pool or spa. Basic and clean. If coming during Balloon Races make your reservations as soon as possible. Only one of two hotels in Indianola.

I hate to pick on a local, non-chain business. However room 106 smelled so strongly of mold/must it could make your eyes water. You walked in the door and you're hit with a wall of stink. The room's a/c was running full blast, but they clearly needed a dehumidifier. Our room's dew point was through the roof. The carpet and... More

The room was great and so was the staff. I will be returning whenever I need a place to stay in Indianola!

I do hotel maintenance for a living so believe me I look at EVERYTHING when I travel. The Apple Tree Inn is great. My room was large, very clean and comfy. Everything worked well and was in good repair. The furniture was slightly dated but clean and fully functional/ The staff I encountered was both helpful and courteous/
