In need of attention

After checking in, the room we were given was very small and the carpet was filthy. We were given another one which was quite spacious, bed was comfortable but carpet still dirty and the air conditioning was quite noisy, even on low setting, actually there was only one setting. Rates were very low so you get what you pay for. Brand new Comfort inn next door so would definitely look into staying there next time we visit the area.

This place was disgusting. The poor receptionist showed us multiple rooms- each was just gross. Every room had a dirty carpet. Some smelled of weed and/or cigarette smoke, one had a dirty bathroom. Another smelled so heavily of mildew and mold. We ended up leaving and paying for a room at the Comfort Inn. I will never recommend Viking Arms Inn to anyone, and am frankly shocked that Expedia allows this place to advertise through them.
