Viking Motel

Our stay went very well. The Viking Motel was centrally located which was important to us. We were able to get on the freeway quickly. I liked the ease of parking and not having to pay for parking. I felt secure, staff seems to keep an eye on its small, family-owned property. Right behind there is a nice residential neighborhood and we enjoyed walking 6-8 blocks to Killingsworth, a main street, where there were a few neighborhood restaurants/bars. The room provided coffee and front desk was courteous and friendly. The room and the grounds were very clean and the housekeeper friendly and helpful and replenishe towels quickly. The motel is not modern, but clean and very comfortable. The water flow is good and plenty of hot water. We would definitely stay here again. We reserved the one and only room with a kitchenette and really enjoyed having it.

A modest older classic strip motel with no frills. Lovely owners, very kind, and the place is clean and well run. If you want a disposable shower cap, boxes of Kleenex, high end shampoo, fancy coffees, a table for two, room service, and ice machine, super nice design-y finishes and linens, cutesy touches, romantic atmosphere and lots of boutique-y stores and restaurants around, go elsewhere. This place opts for the practical and comfy - such as free parking right out front and heavy black-out curtains on windows that open. We had a big old arm chair in our room this time with a firm king sized bed. We like this place for its simplicity. It’s also on a busy and fairly unlovely street, with the light rail transit right out front. Frequented by working men who go to bed early and are out before dawn - pick up trucks in the parking lot. Great coffee place around the corner, and a good Thai - Vietnamese food cart open late and big friendly well-stocked grocery store down the block. A short walk to Heavenly Donuts on Lombard. For the ladies and stylin’ gents, a very hip consignment and couture store next door is rightly called Vein of Gold.

This was a VERY CLEAN, QUAINT, SMELLED SO FRESH AND GREAT LOCATION to everything. I am actually a high maintenance person and I felt everything I could have wanted was right there when I needed it already and didn’t need to ask for anything! We have stayed at several motels in the Portland area and this non smoking room was TRULY A NON SMOKING ROOM. Every other place I stayed at it was always a hint of smoke smell to freshly smoking, not this place. Truly this is the motel for us. I noticed someone made the comment they didn’t know why their key card didn’t work, it’s because the demagnetized so easily as did ours too, just FYI this happens at ALL THE MOTELS! Please consider this your final motel for your Portland stay, it’s definitely going to be ours. This family owned business is ran by the owners who are on site and truly take care of this place with so much love!

Our room was clean. The AC worked fine. There was no ice machine that we could find (maybe we missed it?) The location was safe and close to a great little market.Staff was friendly and professional. We would stay again.

The location is very convenient! There is a grocery store, station, and restaurants and cafes nearby! The room is just enough size for 2 of us, and the bed is super comfortable and had a nice sleep!
