What's the Viking Motel like? There are no reviews?

A bunch of us Canucks are planning to be in Portland for the Blues Festival in July. We won%26#39;t be in our room much so don%26#39;t want to spend much (i.e. under $100/nt). Nonetheless, we would like a clean room (i.e. no bed bugs, roaches, dirty sheets, grimy surfaces, or filthy floors) and would like to be close to downtown (or the MAX to get downtown. We%26#39;re just looking for a basic clean room in an a fairly safe neighborhood.

I came across the Viking Motel but there are no reviews. Does anyone have any experience with this motel? If not, can you recommend any others that might work for us?

Thanks so much.

Hi Dawn, it might help if you list the link to its website? Then the local Portland folk could look it up and perhaps tell you more about it.

I know of a motel out by the airport - about 35 min by MAX - that is very nice and about $85 for your dates; micro/fridge %26amp; free full breakfast. You probably don%26#39;t want to be that far out but it%26#39;s an idea if you cannot find anything closer to downtown.

I know of it, not some place I would stay. In fact, I would pretty much avoid everything on Interstate.

I would suggest maybe looking towards the airport, or maybe something in Delta Park area. Both areas would put you close to the Max line.

Another option would be to try your luck on Priceline, but, I imagine for Blues Festival the hotels will be pretty full and there won%26#39;t be many deals to be had.

It is a bit late to book things for the festival but if you find a place, you will surely have a great time! The Blues Festival is fantastic!
