Overall a great stay. Would definitely stay again. As for room 2, the front door seemed a bit off at the bottom, almost like it's been kicked in before. I'm not sure if there was room service available, but getting new towels, toilet paper was quick and easy.

The room was spotless and comfy. Really appreciate the set up to make coffee and tea since it was quite cold in the evenings and mornings. The fire pit was nice for that too. We stayed at an older spot last year so this felt like a night and day difference. Would def look into staying again :)

We love the Viking Inn! They've done a great job with clean, efficient rooms and a welcoming property for our little dog. It's close to one end of the main street and less than a block from the pancake house. The only changes I would welcome would be daily room service (were were there 2 nights with no service), the beds are VERY firm, and the bedding and towels are on the lower end of the scale. Parking is limited, but free if you find a spot. for our little dog.
