The Viking is one of the 1950s-era motels that are common on Interstate Avenue, from the days when it was one of the main arterials for visitors to Portland from the north. It has been renovated and well-maintained, though, and is a good choice for people looking for reasonably-priced accommodation in north Portland. It is very close to a light rail stop, and also to bike lanes and bicycle-friendly streets.

The property appears to be poorly managed. Despite following the manager’s instructions and placing the “Maid Service Required” sign, the service provided was minimal—only trash removal and towel replacement. Typically, a full room cleaning and bed-making are expected. Additionally, the air conditioning was not functioning properly. It produced a loud noise throughout the night, making it difficult to sleep. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this property.

Let's be serious here, we are reviewing an independently run motel and not the Ritz. Viking Motel is a fine stay if you are on business travel or need a short overnight stay. It is not a vacation property. The staff are great. The room adequate and very very clean. The location can be dicey in parts but this is Portland - Keep it Weird. Local food options amazing. A few upgrades would be nice like modern air conditioners and showers - not tub shower version. All in all I'd stay again.

We stayed here based on price but for 30 bucks more we could have had a much nicer hotel with more amenities. The property looked nicer in the photos than it actually was. Furniture and fixtures looked old and some of it broken. The room had a musty smell and was next to a busy street. There are some good eateries nearby and we walked to Peninsula Park which had a nice playground and rose garden but noticed many homes had bars on the windows. Wouldn't stay here again.

I’d stay there again. Not enough parking space available in lot & had to park a couple blocks away one night which wasn’t ideal. Never ran into a lack of parking space issue before
