Bathroom
Shower could’ve been in better condition. There was oxidation and rust running down the sides of the handicap bars and the drain was in a similar condition. Shower curtains were also way too long and a nuisance to keep pushing away.

Nice place, great location
Great location in this easily walkable town. Room was on smaller side but super efficient. Having a refrigerator was nice. Bed comfortable, shower with plenty of pressure. We didn’t get a chance to use but the chairs and fire pit in the yard area was great addition.

Our stay at the Viking Inn was amazing. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The location of this Inn is walking distance to Solvang Village Center. I would definitely be returning and staying there again. The staff was also friendly and welcoming.

This was our second stay at the viking. Safe to say it's becoming our go to place in solvang. I love the rooms. The cute fire pit outside. The room is just what we need. Nice and clean and modest not overdone just has what you need. I love how easily accessible it is for us as cyclists not having to go up and down stairs while carrying our bikes. We love the viking and I'm sure we'll be back.

We had a great stay at the Viking Inn. Room 6 was a perfect little room. It's very simple, as in the room was small and had only the basics, but that is exactly what I want out of a "Roadside Motel." The room was very clean and the bed was COMFY. I will definitely be back again for another stay!!
