Apple Tree Inn

The room was clean but the tub/shower enclosure really needs to be replaced. It is in very poor shape with black around the edges of the tub, cracks and the tub itself is just in awful shape.

We were very pleasantly surprised for an older looking budget priced motel. Checkin was Is he through texting and a lock box. Our room was clean, and appeared to have been partially updated. The 2 queeb beds were surprisingly comfortable and everything worked well, except for Wi-Fi didn't connect but they offered Netflix on a flat screen that connected to our 5g hotspot and was great :-) Turned out to be directly next door to the restaurant I had chosen Jeremy's on the Hill (wonderful place don't know whether I can put the name here but it's directly next door!). Pros: great location, price for us was very reasonable for a Friday night, beds unexpectedly comfortable, friendly responsive staff, goid heating/cooling, ease of check in and check out, good amenities including unexpected coffee maker with pods. Other: Wifi not working (Although 5G fine). Tub worn inappearance and could use new enamel or replacement.

It was an okay experience. We had an issue with the Futon in our room not working properly and the carpet in the room seemed a bit dirty. The price to quality of the room wasn’t what we were expecting. Not a bad stay overall but we probably won’t stay here again.

Great hotel location, very clean and comfy. Note though that they must allow dogs as we heard several barking from other rooms and it was a bit of an annoyance. Would still return and enjoyed our stay!

We love the Apple Tree Inn and its proximity to excellent hiking (e.g., Volcan Mountain; Santa Ysabel Preserve East), its location near the apple product outlets in Julian, and its proximity to great places to eat, next door (Jeremy's) and across the street (great pizza, good beer, patio dining, etc.).

I was expecting a quaint little inn, but this was more like one of those smaller motel chains, and probably a little worse. The only good thing about the place was that the lady working there was very nice and helpful. Room: - not very clean (had a lot of pet hair and dust on the floor, which our socks caught as soon as we walked around for a few minutes) - not super good sound isolation from other rooms. - decent amount of space (we got the 2 queen rooms). - the door opens to the outside (where you and everyone else parks), which I'm not generally a fan of Bathroom: - you can tell that they did not a very good job of refurnishing the bathroom. The tub was stained, fittings were still pretty old - had an issue with water backup in the sink (I watched them clean it and it was full of weird gunk) - no bathroom fan Beds: - We got the 2 queen room, so that was good - but the mattresses didn't have proper support. My back was hurting after two nights. - pillows were good though. Parking: - free Food options: - none on-site (but Jeremy's right next door is fantastic) and there are a few options within 5 minutes walking Pool: - under renovation (this was not made clear anywhere while booking). We paid about $550 for two nights (during a long weekend) and that felt like a ripoff. For something around $100-130 a night, this is probably more worth it.

The soup dispenser did not work. The property desk person was not available to get us microwave which we wanted to request.

The only thing I didn’t care for was absolutely zero face to face interaction with any staff. While my needs were met and Jamal made sure everything was fine, it was a bit disconcerting to have nobody there on premises to solve any issues. Still, it was an enjoyable stay and I will return as the property was very nice.

The floors could’ve been cleaned better, you can tell pets are allowed so that’s why the floors need to be cleaned more carefully but nothing terrible. The heaters didn’t work and was traveling with my daughter and mother and it was in the low 40s but the owner reached out and made it possible to get a portable heater and he was very kind and wanted to be sure we were taken care of. The beds are very comfortable as were the pillows which is hard to find. Cute place overall especially for a last minute and short trip.
