The property is a little dated but they have done some things to keep it nice. Room was clean and comfortable. Pool is nice. The breakfast is very limited. Good value.
We loved the Viking Inn. It was quaint, quiet, the beds were very comfortable, and in a great location. Will definitely stay here the next time we come.
A little noisy because of a motorcycle event. Room is a bit old and the AC wasn’t that strong.

Inconsistent pricing: you get three different prices from three different staff at front desk. They all tell you " the other personmade a mistake

Customer service
When I checked in on Thursday the clerk was waiting on another family and she did the most amazing job getting their room/reservation straightened out. She was patient and friendly and was great at problem solving. Then it was my turn, she did a fantastic job checking us in, no problems or issues. We’ll definitely stay there again.
Great motel. Very clean rooms, friendly and professional staff and fun pool for kids to play in.

For the price during high season, this place was great. Small room and shower, but as a solo traveler, this didn't bother me. The room could use new carpet, but it was clean.
They are under new management. Not as friendly as the original owners. The light switch didn't work in one area of the room. The light switch was hard to find in the dark bathroom. The fan didn't work in the bathroom making it very steamy after a shower. The continental breakfast was so minimal. Tubs are stained & old. The grounds were nice. Spacious rooms. Things need to be fixed & updated.
