The kindest proprietors - small family owned = consideration to the customer is a priority. Even during COVID and an unexpected snow storm, they went above and beyond. It is a budget hotel so don’t expect luxurious items, but if you want clean, a very comfortable bed, a real coffee maker (that was the best), great water pressure, and a safe neighborhood, this is it. Pluses: walking distance to great markets (New Seasons and Fred Meyer), terrific coffee house (Arbor Lodge Roasters), directly across the street public transportation (get the Transit app and purchase a Hop pass across the street or get the Hop app), walking distance to quaint downtown, post office, and small restaurants, wonderful staff, insulated windows kept a below thirty degree weather at bay Minuses: WiFi didn’t always work on my phone but did on other devices - they worked hard to do all they could to make it work…

Room was clean, bed was comfortable, friendly service, price affordable. Nothing fancy, no breakfast with room. The room could use a few repairs and maintenance (chip in tub, cracked toilet lid, plugs wouldn’t stay in some worn electrical outlets). A good value!

I was in Portland only 1 night to see a concert so I wanted something cheap and clean. This place fits that bill. The front desk was pleasant, the room had a refrig and air conditioning and the bed was comfortable. VERY basic free breakfast so I didn't bother but if you're looking for a friendly, no frills place to stay a night or 2, this would be good for you. :)

Stayed at the Viking Motel when I was in Portland for the Grand Prix on Labor Day weekend. Like other reviewers, I was impressed. They let me check in early. The room was large and more importantly clean. It was so handy to have the Yellow Max Line stop right out front. About 35 minute train ride to the airport and 10 minutes to downtown. There are plenty of great places to eat close by. A huge grocery store is within walking distance.

I flew into Portland to attend the IndyCar races over the Labor Day weekend at Portland International Raceway. I had decided to try doing without a rental car on this trip and to use Portland's "MAX" Light Rail System instead. With just one transfer I was able to go from the airport to less than 100 yards from the Viking Motel. My room was squeeky clean, and well-equipped. It had a decent-size refrigerator, microwave oven, coffee maker, Xfinity TV with a wide variety of channels, solid wi-fi that worked 100% of the time, and quality linens on the bed. The Viking is located closed to restaurants, a convenience store, and high-end market. More groceries, restaurants, etc. are a short MAX ride away. I also used the MAX to get to other attractions in downtown Portland. Plus, it was just about a 12-minute ride from the track, which allowed me to beat the high-cost parking and traffic jams there. It was only a 1/10 mile walk from the MAX station to the track's main gate. So, I'll definitely be staying at the Viking for any future visits to PIR. I'll probably even use it for other trips to this area. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!…

If you’re looking for fancy, this is not it, BUT if you are looking for a wonderful value and hospitality, you are at the right place. The motel was clean and the staff and owners were so friendly and helpful. No breakfast , but for the value and convenience of being able to use the convenient Tri Met rail service to get into the city, My husband and I were pleased. Thank you to the Patel’s....

We stayed here for two nights while visiting Portland. The management was friendly and gave us a map of the Columbia River Gorge area. We had our own car, but this hotel is right next to public transportation. Even with the rail being right across the street, we did not hear the noise while sleeping at night. We had a bedroom with 3 beds and a divider wall so my kids enjoyed having their own beds for a couple nights. There was also a refrigerator for keeping items cold. This is an older hotel but was clean and comfortable with a vintage feel. They also have a laundry room if needed during your stay.

The Viking Motel is conveniently located on public transportation that will get you back and forth to the airport easily. It is an older motel, so the rooms are a bit travel-worn but comfortable, spotlessly clean, and reasonably priced. Despite the fact that it is right on the train line the rooms are quiet (the trains are electric). Housekeeping staff are friendly and responsive to your needs, as are the managers. There are a grocery store, diner, coffee shop, and Thai food truck within a few blocks walking distance. If you walk one block away from the main road you are in a quiet neighborhood- a nice place for a morning walk or jog.
