Built in 1958, this is a genuine retro motel. The neighborhood location is excellent. despite being on a local highway, it was surprisingly quiet. A one- minute walk away is a great cafe (Fortuna) and across the street from there, an excellent market. Convenient Portland public transportation is right there if you don’t have a car. The owner Hino is delightful. When I asked if my room was newly painted, she said it was done four years ago! There wasn’t a single scuff mark on the walls! She prides herself on keeping Viking immaculately clean, and it shows, thanks to her and her staff. Room amenities: basic but sufficient. There were packets of shampoo and soap bars, but no “travel-size” conditioner or lotion. Bed was comfortable, towels were soft. There’s a microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker (coffee is supplied in a little container). no luggage rack, but a large desk had plenty of room to place a suitcase. You cannot beat the economic value of this comfortable lodging in Portland!

Charming staff made us feel very welcome. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Quite during the night. The AC kept the temperature at an OK level, but made quite a lot of noise. Location very good just a blokk from the tram stop so it was essay to get in to the city center (just $5 for an all day pass - a real bargain).

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....
