Apple Tree Inn

My wife and I have stayed at this property every year for 27 years. Since it changed ownership a few years back it has become a total dump. What use to be a beautiful, clean, well kept property is now filthy and in disrepair. What’s worse is the owner does not care. The pool deck was filthy and the pool had a ring of grime around it, so gross we didn’t even use it. The planters that use to have beautiful flowers are now barren and used as ashtrays. The lawn was littered with cigarette butts and litter which I mentioned to the owner and he did nothing about it. My family and I actually spent our first morning there raking the entire grass area, pulling weeds and sweeping the area in front of our unit. The bbq’s were so filthy and the garbages next to them were often overflowing. Our room had dust webs in the corners and stains on the ceiling where something was clearly leaking. Sad to say after almost 3 decades of wonderful memories at this place we will not return. Really unfortunate the owner let this happen to what used to be a little gem in Penticton.

We picked this motel based off some decent reviews, and for our purposes, it was an ok stay. I would say still quite expensive for what you get, but it is high tourist season, so this was one of the most reasonably priced motels. When we arrived, it was raining, and our room was leaking from the roof. Because we had arrived late, we had to stay (as there is no one in the office during night hours). In the morning, we called the manager, and they were very quick to accommodate getting us another room. The rooms are dated, and not the cleanest. It was nice to have the small kitchen in our room, which had a coffee pot, microwave, full size fridge and stove. The wifi and a/c unit worked well. The grounds are nicely kept, pool area was nice. Ample parking. I would have liked to be able to see an actual owner or manager.....we never did see them in the office, we only every communicated by phone/email, so would be nice to have some business hours to talk to someone face to face Overall, ok stay, but this hotel needs some cleaning and updating.

I and my friends have been staying at the Apple Tree for over 10 years. Always in the spring/fall so I can't comment on the AC. Friendly staff, easy check-in at whatever time we happen to arrive. The kitchenette has everything needed, the beds are comfortable and the rooms seem to be well insulated from the noise of the neighbouring rooms. Short walk to Cherry Lane, Boston Pizza and the Barley Mill pub is even closer ;)
