Better than I had expected. Room was clean, loved the fact it has dispensable hand soap and in the shower the dispensable shampoo/conditioner/shower gel. Walls are a little thin so heard our neighbors but that’s not uncommon. Overall was very satisfied with the accommodations. Great location too! (And just as an aside, I stay in hotels for work all the time, my standards are pretty high).

We had a great stay at the Viking Inn. Room 6 was a perfect little room. It's very simple, as in the room was small and had only the basics, but that is exactly what I want out of a "Roadside Motel." The room was very clean and the bed was COMFY. I will definitely be back again for another stay!!
