Great economical place to stay

Liked: 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.
Disliked: I cannot force myself to think of something I did not like. The trolley like runs on the street right in front, but it was not noisy nor annoying to us. We are accustomed to city "white noise". .We slept very comfortably.

Good

Liked: Good place to stay during road trip. Microwave and fridge are life saver.

Everything worked but......

Liked: Location right next to the tram route into central Portland was excellent. Everything we needed was in the unit.
Disliked: The room was small for a couple with two suitcases. While everything worked, the place was really tired and crying out for a major make-over.

Very good

Liked: Nice motel, great location

Pleasant

Disliked: It’s more than 4 miles from the airport. Taxis cost a bomb. The room given to us was reeking of cigarettes. We asked to get it changed and got one on the upper floor. No kettle in the room- only a very basic coffee machine. No tea

Great find!

Liked: The room was very clean. It is an older motel, but you can tell it has been very well cared for. It was very quiet even though the sign said no vacancy. We were very comfortable and happy that we found this place and will continue to use it when we are in the city.
Disliked: They don't seem to have an ice machine, but it's certainly not a deal breaker. Can't really think of anything bad. The floor squeaked in spots. It didn't bother us, though it might have for whoever was below us.
