Wonderful, comfy stay

Myah seems like a wonderful person, and this little gem of a place should be patronized often! They also have a motel in Clara City, about 17 miles east of Montevideo, and by outward appearances that place is also just as comfortable

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was ok. It was very hot out and the little wall air conditioner was blowing hot air and the filter light was on. There were only 2 other cars there when I checked in. About 1030 pm it got very loud outside, people slamming doors, kids running around and hitting the walls. Looked outside and the parking lot was full and it seemed like they were going to have a big party. They had the music blaring. I called the owner and she said she could move me to another room, which wouldnt have made a difference since the motel is small and the big group pretty much took the whole thing up. Dropped the key off and moved to the hotel down the road. The owner was nice, but I needed to get some sleep and that wasnt going to happen. Just picked the wrong night to stay there I guess.

It was clean, quiet, and had easy parking. It's also close to a Walmart and a restaurant. It's actually called Motel Viking (or at least that's what the sign says), and the address in Expedia was wrong. The GPS took us to a random area. Thankfully we figured it out pretty quickly based on pictures. Despite the little snafu we still had a good experience with our hotel stay.

Nice motel, clean rooms but small. No extras just a place to sleep. You can hear every movement in the adjoining rooms, not quiet but I think someone had a family get together, they all knew each other and was a bit loud.

We stayed at the Clara City, Viking Inn. Room was clean and spacious with table and chairs. I enjoyed the welcome bag of goodies (water, popcorn, etc.) and loved the decor. Lobby had a Kcup coffee machine and there was an outside grill and firepit. We’d stay here again!

This locally owned motel is kept clean and up to date and is close to many food options. Parking right outside the room is super convenient. I’m very picky and I highly recommended staying here!

Comfortable place

I was advised by friends to look further out from my Granite Falls event. Good reviews steered me to the Viking Inn. Check in and out was smooth, the room clean and comfortable with hot water! The only weird negative was that my room was through the laundry room. However, the dryer gave me a place to put stuff on until I got through the door.

It was apparent the owners and/or those who clean take pride in their work. The rooms are older but well taken care if.
