Viking Motel

We were in Portland for the indycar races and the motel was less than 10 minutes from the track. The unit had everything that we needed and the bed was comfortable. There is a supermarket 1 block away and another 2 blocks away, as well as a restaurants and liqour outlet and gas station very close. Also tram runs right past the motel.

This is a 50 year old property that has been renovated to acceptable. It was a comfortable stay.

I was surprised that they do not have an ice machine. You can pick up a big bag of ice for $3 at the Fred Meyer a mile down the street if you need to cool your Martini after a long trip.

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.

The room was clean. No weird odors. Bed was comfortable.

The AC was difficult to work. It was always too warm or freezing cold. Instructions on how to work the AC would have been helpful

Convenient

Need to make sure each room has a functioning smoke detector

A clean and friendly hotel, in a residential neighborhood and right by the light rail. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and the mattress was very good.

The staff were absolutely wonderful and I provided a nice room for my disabled daughter and I on the first floor. The second day my key was not working and the manager actually noticed that it wasn’t working and by the time I turned around to get a new key, he had already met me in the parking lot with a new one! I have never had such great service! Room 101 was the best, it had a full kitchen, a table that had four chairs, four windows on three walls. The kitchen was stocked with every pot, pan, and utensil one could possibly want. It was a bit retro with plywood cupboards, but we don’t mind that kind of thing. The beds were very comfortable and had beautiful headboards. The sleeping area was carpeted, which was nice for doing morning stretches. The bathtub was comfortable and had a nice working plug. The hotel is on the light rail, but it was quiet day and night. Within four blocks walk, there was a Fred Meyer and multiple eating establishments. We felt very safe walking in the neighborhood during the day.

One of the best hotels for meeting our expectations of responsiveness of staff, safety, cleanliness, light levels, big frig and parking. I recommend but not fancy just nice.
