Applebutter Inn

The owners are wonderful and accommodating and serve a delicious breakfast! The Inn is cozy and welcoming to everyone.

Host and hostess extremely helpful and responsive. The B&B was quiet and restful. We will be back again and tell others to come as well.

The room was clean, but Applebutter Inn was our least hospitable stay in Slippery Rock to date. We had much better experiences for less $ at the local chain hotels. I requested breakfast at 8:30 AM instead of 9 AM so we could make a 9 AM orientation at SRU. Despite giving an hour and a half notice, and only asking that it be moved up 30 minutes so we could quickly eat before we checked out, they said NO (!!). Instead, we were welcomed to make ourselves instant oatmeal. Only one other room was occupied, by the way, so it's not like they were busy. We didn't see anyone who worked there during our stay - not at check-in at 4:45 PM on Friday, nor at check-out at 8:35 AM on Saturday morning. So at check-in, for example, no one said "breakfast is a 9am, but if you need it earlier, please let us know by xx PM because we refuse to accommodate changes after that" This information was apparently buried in an email they sent, but we also received several emails from them referencing check in procedures at properties we were not even staying at. It's not like we starved, we picked up a quick breakfast at the local gas station after we checked out, but their utter disregard for our guest experience left such a bad taste. A $200 room at a bed and breakfast could have been so much more pleasant! This is the hospitality industry after all. Inflexibility over something so minor is jarring. Ultimately, this example shows how little "New Management" cares about guests. This is their prerogative, but it is not the kind of hospitality I will pay for. Up to you.

Absolutely glorious stay at The Applebutter Inn! The place is charming, warm, comfortable, and well-appointed. It felt like staying in the big house of a family member. The new owner met us at the door and helped with our luggage - she is fantastic and very committed to providing a flawless stay. The breakfast was lovely, and it was nice in the evening to have 'run-of-house' so we could unwind with a coffee or tea downstairs, play cards, etc. The building, rooms, common rooms, and patio are all lovely. Great wifi and ample, easy (free) parking. We were there to tour Slippery Rock University (very close proximity), and if my child ends up attending, we will definitely stay at The Applebutter Inn every time we return to the area.

Second time staying here. A great inn, welcoming owners, and a fabulous renovation job.

Definitely not worth the price. The room was adequate and clean. At 6 am I requested breakfast at 8:30 AM instead of 9 AM, so we could make a 9 am orientation at Slippery Rock University. Despite giving 3 hours notice and only asking that it be moved up 30 minutes, they said NO. Instead, we were welcomed to instant oatmeal packets. This inflexibility and disregard for our guest experience left a bad taste. Obviously they don't much care. Definitely not worth the price. I didn't see a singĺe person who worked there during our stay - we did self check in at 4:45 pm friday eve and no one was around at 8:35 am Saturday morning when we left. 6 hours later I had to email AND text to get a receipt sent to me.
