My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Viking Inn! You can tell the new owners, Angie and Matt, are putting a lot of care and attention to detail into updating the property. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The only minor thing for taller guests (I'm 6'2") is that the showerhead is a bit low, but everything else was fantastic. Highly recommended, and we would definitely stay here again!

Great experience. Check in was fantastic since we got the code prior sent to us through the app. This allowed us to check in later than we had anticipated and our room was just as we view the images. Love our king suite and it was a great location walking distance to many of the places we wanted to check out. We will be back for sure.
