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/

We dropped in late without a reservation. The desk clerk was courteous and friendly. The lobby is small, yes, but I didn't plan on hanging around in the lobby, so that was not an issue. The room was reasonably priced. The rooms do use actual keys rather than key cards but it was not a problem. The room was quite... More

The beds are very comfortable, the service is great and they owners are trying to update constantly. The breakfast area is very small but tidy and good selection. This is an older hotel so if a new chain comes to town they will have a run for their money. If they keep taking care of the little things they will... More

This is a nice, clean hotel. When we got there the hallway did not smell very well, but they must have done something as we did not notice anything the rest of our stay. Good location, rooms were fine, and clean. Overall, this hotel was worth the money and we'll use it again in the future.

Our room smelled of cat urine. The beds were made, but were soiled completely through the mattress pad. We asked for a different room and were denied. Finally, the front desk came and changed the bedding after asking me to do it. When I asked the owner managers for compensation, they refused and mocked us saying "Those linens weren't soiled,...

We are sorry that we were unable to satisfy you during your stay. If a guest is not happy we try to accommodate their needs but unfortunately we were completely booked that night so switching rooms was not possible. We continue to spend considerable resources ensuring our property is kept clean and up to date so it is unfortunate this... More

I've stayed here several times and the owners are very cordial. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff friendly. I will always stay at this hotel, and I visit quite frequently since my son attends college 5 minutes from the Apple Tree. I will and have recommended this hotel to others.

An unexpected death in the family, recently took us to Indianola, Iowa. We chose the Apple Tree Inn for the value and availability of rooms for many family members arriving. The accommodations were dated, but very clean. Kirit, Kapi and their son were so kind - they juggled rooms so we could all be together, they worked around us as... More

The exterior was clean and neat. Man at front counter when we checked in wasn't overly friendly, but he was polite. The hotel seemed to be older, and had some cosmetic updates (some of which seemed to be done to cover up something - like the extra wide molding along the tops of the wall). We had difficulty getting in... More

Enjoyed the location just off the main highway. Easy access. The free breakfast was a little sparse.

This was a very pleasant stay. I stayed 2 nights for an event and I was happy to come back after a busy day and relax here.
