Well I guess the sheets and towels were clean. That's about it. The tub was dirty, the drain was clogged with hair, it clearly hadn't been vacuumed, and the room was dusty. The proprietors are putting minimal effort into this motel.

Do not recommend. It seems like the place is trying to update things, but as of now would not recommend. Charged extra for 2 adults, but was not provided extra bath, hand, or wash towels. Tried to get more towels, but no one would answer in the office or by phone. TV was not working. Musty odor to room.

Doing a check in behind bulletproof glass is a bit disconcerting. However, staff were very polite and helpful. Building is dated but very clean.

Just the normal

It’s no 5 star hotel but it is clean it’s been years since I’ve last stayed there it’s been updated since then but over all it was a fast stay just somewhere to rest and shower no breakfast might have to ask for extra towels if your bringing someone with you

Excellent Early Check-In for a Special Occasion

The host promptly accommodated our early checkin time. This allowed us to change and get ready for a wedding ceremony at 2pm.

A terrible experience at the Viking Jr. Hotel

Room smelled of cigarettes, long black hairs on the bed, furniture strewn around the parking lot and hotel like it was a dump. Pay a few dollars more, and stay somewhere else. Viking Jr. Has lost its way in the hotel business
