Well I guess the sheets and towels were clean. That's about it. The tub was dirty, the drain was clogged with hair, it clearly hadn't been vacuumed, and the room was dusty. The proprietors are putting minimal effort into this motel.

Doing a check in behind bulletproof glass is a bit disconcerting. However, staff were very polite and helpful. Building is dated but very clean.

my go-to place in the area
I stay here a couple of times a year. The rooms are always clean and stocked with the necessities expected for a comfortable stay. The people who work here are some of the friendliest folks I have encountered in my travels. This is not a high-end hotel, but is a good value for the money and close to local activities.

It's an affordable no-frills motel. Rooms are cleaner than the exterior suggests. Some rooms seem to have extended-stay guests who can be noisy on the weekend. A decent stay if you just need a room for a night.

A terrible experience at the Viking Jr. Hotel
Room smelled of cigarettes, long black hairs on the bed, furniture strewn around the parking lot and hotel like it was a dump. Pay a few dollars more, and stay somewhere else. Viking Jr. Has lost its way in the hotel business
