The property was fine, but a bit on the shabby side when compared to online images of the property. Staff was friendly during check in and check out.

Brian at the front desk was amazing, very helpful and kind. The spa was absolutely incredible. The room was awful. Sheets on one of the beds were dirty and the beds were beyond uncomfortable. Neither of us slept ( 2 queen room) You couldnt move without noise from the box spring and mattress. We had to leave after the first night. We noticed as we were leaving brand new mattresses being brought into the hotel. They waited way too long to replace them.

My stay at the Viking
The place was good. Found something under the bed, that was left behind from another guest, a container of nutella. On the hotel's cleaning staff defense, it was so well hidden, attached to one of the legs of the bed, that it would be very hard for anybody to find, I only found it because my earring fell and I went looking for it.
