We ended up at this hotel because the bed and breakfast we booked at lost our reservations. When we drove up to it, it look like the Bates Motel. The Inn keeper was very nice, even though we woke him up, he helped us out and even gave us discount since we were staying for two nights. The room he... More

Enjoyed a lovely weekend to celebrate our anniversary at the cozy Apple Tree Inn. The owners were extremely friendly and made sure we had a perfect stay. The room was very clean and loved the country touches in the room and the decorative linens. The location just on the outskirts of Julian is perfect, there is even a very nice... More

This was our first time to Julian Ca. Stayed one night in the king room. This was a upgrade that was given to us. The owners were friendly and had lots of suggestions of fun things to do. The room was clean and well taken care of. I come from a small town with small family ran motels like this.... More

Enjoyed my stay here; quiet, restful. Pool not heated but refreshing. Rooms modest but clean. Good food next door at Jeremy's on the Hill. Close to town and Santa Ysabel Casino.Nice hiking trails nearby.

What a disappointment. no upgrades on the rooms since 1972...small t.v. with 3 channels, old saggy bed, noisy air cooler, dirty public areas..Owner seemed more interested in fancy car than in taking pride in his facility...Pricey considering lack of comfort and amenities Don't walk,run away from this property...it is better to drive 20 minutes to Ramona

I am not sure where the positive reviews came from as well, but this place wasn't even acceptable for our pet rat.  We showed up with our kids (whom were excited about the pool).  The room smelled like a pack of wild coyotes came in and marked their territory.  In addition to the smell of mold, the bathroom lacked the...

Apple Tree Inn is a dog-friendly motel and the owners are very kindly and helpful, but it can be regarded as BYOA, "Bring Your Own Appliances." The rooms include a clock and a small coffee maker but there is no radio, no microwave, no refrigerator, no iron, and no hair dryer. They advertise satellite tv but we got only five... More

Always stay here and usually in room 5 or 7 and never any problem with smell or anything else. Charlie and his wife are great.
