Excellent

This place was disgusting. The poor receptionist showed us multiple rooms- each was just gross. Every room had a dirty carpet. Some smelled of weed and/or cigarette smoke, one had a dirty bathroom. Another smelled so heavily of mildew and mold. We ended up leaving and paying for a room at the Comfort Inn. I will never recommend Viking Arms Inn to anyone, and am frankly shocked that Expedia allows this place to advertise through them.
This was a last-minute reservation. Price was great. Hotel is nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. Host was friendly. Carpet was worn, but otherwise a nice room.
Enjoyed easy access to jumping in the car to go places as our parking place was just outside our door! The pool and hot tub was clean and easy to access, as well.
Shower is tiny! Water pressure is great but for a large bathroom space i dont know why the shower is so small. Nice, clean, quiet place thats great for an overnight or weekend. Not modern but not rundown, just nice mid priced stay.

Had a really bad smell and the property was ran down really bad. The AC unit was extremely loud and went off every 15 minutes for a couple mins.
We did like the pool and hot tub tho.
Stayed here for 2 nt get away weekend. Older motel but super cute . The out door pool is a plus for your summer stays. Clean rooms and liked how you parked your vehicle right in front of your door . Would definitely stay there again .
We really liked this motel. The owners were a kind family who allowed us to use their personal water hose to rinse off our kayak. These owners have really made a nice motel business here.
