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

Our room was modest but very clean and well-kept up for an older building. Not very noisy. Limited access to staff but they were friendly. Parking available but not guaranteed. The area felt a bit seedy and you have to ring a buzzer to get into the locked lobby area. Overall pleased and will stay here again.

This hotel is great for its low price. It's not fancy, but the owners are friendly and extremely helpful. It is quiet in the hotel, but since it's on a busy street, you do hear traffic noise.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

No options for parking.

I didn't actually stay, because I received an email from the hotel saying parking was not guaranteed. No options offered. I did not want to have to search for parking at night in a strange area with no clue of how far I'd be walking. Makes sense, right? I bought booking protection. When I tried to cancel my reservation, I inadvertently cancelled my protection. I am 70, I can walk pretty far, but should I have to?

Would stay again.

We liked the location. It was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. On if the towel racks and the hook in the bathroom door was missing. We told the management. They said a prior occupant did that and maintenance would fix it in 2 days.

No frills, Great neighborhood

Viking is awesome! Nearby train stop for easy access downtown. Staff is so nice and felt very safe. Only issue I had was pillows were extremely flat and not very comfortable. Also tv didn't seem to be working, but we managed without it. Would definitely stay here again for a good affordable place in Portland.
