Good location on the southern end of town. Several fast food restaurant within walking distance. Walking distance to GAC if motivated. Property is old and unimproved but maintained minimally. Office is old and unsightly with pet smell. Building is old and also minimally maintaned. Linens are old with small tears but clean and no bedbugs. Wifi was very weak at our room, unuseable most times. 4 nights no housekeeping.

A terrible experience at the Viking Jr. Hotel

Room smelled of cigarettes, long black hairs on the bed, furniture strewn around the parking lot and hotel like it was a dump. Pay a few dollars more, and stay somewhere else. Viking Jr. Has lost its way in the hotel business

I showed up to check in, but no one was there. I had to drive to Mankato and rent another hotel room. I would like a refund for my stay and reimbursement for the other hotel I had to book. Will not recommend this to anyone else.

While the linens were clean, the room itself, including the walls, drawers, and carpets, were very dirty. I honestly contemplated sleeping in my vehicle.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The property is older and shows wear and could use updating, but the room was clean. Bed was comfortable but pillows hard. If you are traveling on a budget and just looking for a night or two it is priced right.
