Wish they provided soap, shampoo and conditioner, but the room itself was a lot nicer than you would expect from the outside view of the motel. Overall for 70$ a night, its hard to beat.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The odor in the room was overwhelming. When we opened the door to Room 14, the smell was so bad it nearly made my wife vomit. It had a strong, stale odor reminiscent of a room rented by the hour, as if previous guests had left behind heavy body odor and poor hygiene. On top of that, there was a separate, unmistakable mildew smell that suggested serious cleanliness and moisture issues. We did not unpack a single item. We immediately left the room, returned to the front desk, and turned in the key. Despite the condition of the room and the fact that we did not stay, the manager on duty refused to issue a refund, which was both shocking and unacceptable.

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The rooms are very outdated.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.

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!
