The following information supplements the prospectus of Apple REIT Nine, Inc. dated September 21, 2009 and is part of the prospectus. This Supplement updates the information presented in the prospectus. Prospective investors should carefully review the prospectus, Supplement No. 8 (which is cumulative and replaces all prior Supplements), Supplement No. 9 and this Supplement No. 10.

Certain forward-looking statements are included in the prospectus and this supplement. These forward-looking statements may involve our plans and objectives for future operations, including future growth and availability of funds. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, which are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to these statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, the continuation of our offering of Units, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, together with local, national and international events (including, without limitation, acts of terrorism or war, and their direct and indirect effects on travel and the economy). All of these matters are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of them are beyond our control. Although we believe the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements, and the statements themselves, are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans, which we consider to be reasonable, will be achieved.

We completed the minimum offering of Units (with each Unit consisting of one Common Share and one Series A Preferred Share) at $10.50 per Unit on May 14, 2008. We are continuing the offering at $11 per Unit in accordance with the prospectus. We registered to sell a total of 182,251,082 Units. As of May 31, 2010, 53,603,179 Units remained unsold. Our offering of Units expires on April 25, 2011, provided that the offering will be terminated if all of the Units are sold before then.

As of May 31, 2010, we had closed on the following sales of Units in the offering:

Price Per Unit			Gross Proceeds		Proceeds Net of Selling Commissions and Marketing Expense Allowance

$10.50		9,523,810	$	100,000,000	$	90,000,000
$11.00		119,124,093		1,310,365,031		1,179,328,529

	Total	128,647,903	$	1,410,365,031	$	1,269,328,529

On May 28, 2010, through one of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, we closed on the purchase of one hotel located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The gross purchase price for this hotel, which contains 200 guest rooms, was $32,656,898.

Further information about our recently purchased hotel is provided in other sections below.

We caused one of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries to enter into a series of purchase contracts for the potential purchase of two hotels.

The total gross purchase price for these hotels, which contain 287 guest rooms, is approximately $32.9 million. The purchase contracts provide for an aggregate initial deposit of $300,000, and require an additional aggregate deposit in the amount of $300,000 after the end of our contractual review periods. A number of required conditions to closing currently remain unsatisfied under the purchase contracts. Accordingly, there can be no assurance at this time that any closings will occur under these purchase contracts. Upon a purchase, the deposit amounts would be credited against the purchase price.

Further information about these purchase contracts and hotels is provided in the "Acquisitions and Related Matters" section below.

Our recent purchase, which resulted in our ownership of one additional hotel, was funded by the proceeds from our ongoing offering of Units. Our offering proceeds also have been used to fund the initial deposits required by the hotel purchase contracts and will be used for the related additional deposits.

We have entered into a property acquisition and disposition agreement with Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. to acquire and dispose of our real estate assets. A fee of 2% of the gross purchase price or gross sale price in addition to certain reimbursable expenses will be payable for these services. This entity is owned by Glade M. Knight, who is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We used our offering proceeds to pay $653,138 to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., representing 2% of the gross purchase price for our recent purchase on May 28, 2010.

As a result of our recent purchases, we currently own 44 hotels, which are located in the states indicated in the map below:

Our recently purchased hotel has been leased to one of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, as the lessee, under a separate hotel lease agreement. For simplicity, the lessee will be referred to below as the "lessee."

The hotel is managed under a separate management agreement between the lessee and the manager. For simplicity, the manager will be referred to below as the "manager."

The hotel lease agreement and the management agreement are among the contracts described in another section below. The table below specifies the franchise, hotel owner, lessee and manager for our recently purchased hotel:

Hotel Location		Franchise (a)		Hotel Owner/Lessor		Lessee		Manager

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma		Hampton Inn & Suites		Apple Nine Oklahoma, LLC		Apple Nine Hospitality Management, Inc.		Raymond Management Company, Inc. (b)

Notes for Table:

(a): All brand and trade names, logos or trademarks contained, or referred to, in this prospectus supplement are the properties of their respective owners. These references shall not in any way be construed as participation by, or endorsement of, our offering by any of our franchisors or managers.
(b): The hotel was purchased from an affiliate of the indicated manager,

We have no material relationship or affiliation with the seller or manager, except for the relationship resulting from our purchase, our management agreement for the hotel and any related documents.

The following table provides a summary of the hotels covered by pending purchase contracts entered into since our Post Effective Amendment No. 8 dated April 21, 2010:

Hotel Location	Franchise	Date of Purchase Contract		Gross Purchase Price(a)

1. Lafayette, Louisiana	Hilton Garden Inn	May 28, 2010	153	$	22,900,000
2. West Monroe, Louisiana	Hilton Garden Inn	May 28, 2010	134		10,000,000

		Total	287	$	32,900,000

Notes for Table:

(a): Under each purchase contract, we are required to make an initial deposit to the seller. The aggregate initial deposits for the hotels listed above totaled $300,000. We are required to make additional deposits in the same amount after the end of our contractual review periods. If we close on the purchase of a particular hotel the initial deposit (and any additional deposit) will be applied to the purchase price. If a closing does not occur because the seller has failed to satisfy a closing condition or breaches the purchase contract, the deposits would be refunded to us.

Our recently purchased hotel is covered by a separate hotel lease agreement between the owner (one of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries) and the lessee (another one of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, as specified in the previous section). The lease provides for an initial term of 10 years. The lessee has the option to extend the lease term for two additional five-year periods, provided it is not in default at the end of the prior term or at the time the option is exercised.

The lease provides for annual base rent and percentage rent. The annual base rent is payable in advance in equal monthly installments and will be adjusted each year in proportion to the Consumer Price Index (based on the U.S. City Average). Shown below is the annual base rent and the lease commencement date for our recently purchased hotel:

Hotel Location		Franchise		Annual Base Rent			Date of Lease Commencement

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma		Hampton Inn & Suites		$	2,547,805		May 28, 2010

The annual percentage rent depends on a formula that compares fixed "suite revenue breakpoints" with a portion of "suite revenue," which is equal to gross revenue from guest rentals less sales and room taxes and credit card fees. The suite revenue breakpoints will be adjusted each year in proportion to the Consumer Price Index (based on the U.S. City Average). Specifically, the annual percentage rent is equal to the sum of (a) 17% of all suite revenue for the year, up to the applicable suite revenue breakpoint; plus (b) 55% of the suite revenue for the year in excess of the applicable suite revenue breakpoint, as reduced by base rent paid for the year.

Our recently purchased hotel is being managed by the manager under a separate management agreement between the manager and the lessee (which is one of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, as specified in the previous section). The manager is responsible for managing and supervising the daily operations of the hotel and for collecting revenues for the benefit of the applicable lessee. The fees and other terms of this agreement are the result of commercial negotiations between otherwise unrelated parties. We believe that such fees and terms are appropriate for the hotel and the market in which it operates.

The recently purchased hotel is franchised by Hilton Worldwide or one of its affiliates, and there is a franchise license agreement between the lessee and Hilton Worldwide or an affiliate. The franchise license agreement provides for the payment of royalty fees and program fees to the franchisor. A percentage of gross room revenues is used to determine these payments. Apple Nine Hospitality, Inc. or another one of our subsidiaries has guaranteed the payment and performance of the lessee under the franchise license agreement.

The fees and other terms of this agreement are the result of commercial negotiations between otherwise unrelated parties, and we believe that such fees and terms are appropriate for the hotel and the market in which it operates. The agreement may be terminated for various reasons, including failure by the lessee to operate in accordance with the standards, procedures and requirements established by the franchisor.

Our recently purchased hotel offers guest rooms and suites, together with related amenities, that are consistent with its operations. The hotel is located in a developed area and in a competitive market. We believe the hotel is well-positioned to compete in its market based on location, amenities, rate structure and franchise affiliation. In the opinion of management, the hotel is adequately covered by insurance. The following tables present further information about our recently purchased hotel:

Hotel Location		Franchise		Number of Rooms/ Suites			Gross Purchase Price			Average Daily Rate (Price) per Room/ Suite(a)			Federal Income Tax Basis for Depreciable Real Property Component of Hotel(b)			Purchase Date

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma		Hampton Inn & Suites			200		$	32,656,898		$	144-199		$	31,227,392		May 28, 2010

Notes for Table 1:

(a): The amount shown is subject to change, and excludes discounts that may be offered to corporate, frequent and other select customers.
(b): The depreciable life is 39 years (or less, as may be permitted by federal tax laws) using the straight-line method. The modified accelerated cost recovery system will be used for the hotel's personal property component.

Note for Table 2:

(a): Operating data is presented for the last five years (or since the beginning of hotel operations). There is no data before 2009 because the hotel was under construction and was not open at that time. The hotel was acquired on May 28, 2010. The 2009 results reflect only the period of time the hotel was open and may not be a reflection of results once the hotel is established in its market.

Hotel Location		Franchise		Tax Year(a)			Real Property Tax Rate(b)			Real Property Tax(c)

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma		Hampton Inn & Suites			2009			11.3	%	$	16,171

Notes for Table 3:

(a): Represents a calendar year.
(b): Property tax rate is an aggregate figure for county, city and other local taxing authorities.
(c): The hotel property consisted of undeveloped land for a portion of the tax year, and the real property tax for 2009 is not necessarily indicative of property taxes expected for the hotel in the future.
