Bed bugs! Do NOT STAY HERE! Walked into the room and it was absolutely disgusting! Looked on the bed and found bed bugs. Took the pillow to the office told them we were not staying and left. Thankfully we did not take anything into the room. Just disgusting place!

The inside of the inn really counts!

Scenic river is the only place to stay in Wartburg. Unit #8 is clean inside and looks newly painted with new flooring. The mattresses need updating. The family who runs the inn are friendly. The outside of the inn needs a lot of attention.

Don't stay unless you have no other choice!

The rooms are very outdated. The towels and sheets were stained and dingy. Not sure if the bath mat towel was even washed! The only good thing about the room was that he air conditioner.

This place has bed bugs. Everything is outdated. They charge way too much to stay here. I mean i picked up the remote for the TV and there was a bed bug on it. I got bit multiple times in my sleep. There is no other motel in morgan county unfortunately, but i think I'd rather sleep in my car. The owner has also had multiple court cases due to sexual assaults. Not very safe.

The bedsheets and bath towels were visibly dirty. The restroom and shower were unclean. So much so, we couldn't even take a shower. Doors didn't shut probably. And the deadbolt wouldn't lock.worst motel/hotel I've ever stayed in.

Upon arrival we walked into our room and flipped on the lights. Immediately a slew of cockroaches scattered. There were even cockroaches throughout the bedding! We left and lost our money due to their "no refund" policy. No amount of money could have convinced us to stay. DO NOT STAY HERE unless you want to come home with a suitcase full of cockroaches!

Double dipping scam artists

Double charging scam artists at this place- stay away!!! I booked a hotel room at this location for my daughter via Hotels.com at a rate of $34/night for 2 nights, 23-24/Aug/2024. I paid at the time of booking via PayPal and received a receipt for such. Upon her arrival, the desk clerk would not accept the receipt, claimed their was no reservation, refused the proof of booking, refused the receipt and then charged over $60/night at the desk. My daughter had to pay again or have nowhere to stay for 2 nights. I contacted Hotels.com. They contacted the parent property OYO. OYO said that the property cancelled the reservation-but i didn't notice OR get a refund. They falsely advertise on multiple platforms, hotels.com, OYO, kayak and the like, a double queen room for $34/night + tax. 2. They accepted payment at time of online reservation then without warning or notice cancel the reservation AND keep the money. (I also just read a review where the same thing happened to another LADY traveling alone). When my daughter arrived she was told no reservation was placed and the desk clerk would not accept the payment receipt with transaction ID thus leaving my daughter stranded and forced to pay again at a rate double the advertised amount. This property charged double the advertised rate AND kept the original $103.30 as well. I looked on multiple sites and $34 -$38.00 is the advertised rate. Either the property themselves or the desk clerk is running a scam and it should be stopped.

The name Scenic River Motel is quite misleading. This property is not maintained in a manner that is up to commercial standards. I arrived to check in at 6 PM with the intent to stay out late at the Obed Wild and Scenic River to star gaze. The front desk did not answer the doorbell. A motel unit (under age) resident came out of his room and gave me instructions how to enter the motel office. The lady in attendance was unable to communicate in English but she did give me key card to my room. Eventually, an attendant who did speak English knocked on my door. He instructed me to pay with my credit card (I assumed that I had already pre-paid via Expedia). The grounds surrounding this motel most unfortunately looked shabby, with old mattresses left outside leaking against the front side of the motel and some discarded material from interior of one room laying on the front yard lawn. I pointed this out to the attendant who took my credit card (and who I assume was the manager). I’m surprised local authorities have not inspected this place. This is the town of Wartburg’s only motel. It should be required to be properly maintained. Its exterior appearance should be brought up to standard. The room was basic and clean. The air conditioner was in functioning order. The stopper in the wash basin sink did not close.
