Staying here can be compared to having unprotected s*x!! You don't know what you might catch! Online pics DO NOT accurately represent this property -- accommodations nor amenities. Bad location, filthy pool, smelly rooms, and HORRIBLE customer service (Gina) all the way UP TO and INCLUDING MANAGEMENT (Lauren). Did I mention BAD location? Run-down (NASTY) property all the way around.... more

What a dump! Where to begin? The staff is the slowest, stupidest staff I've ever encountered (check in took over 1/2 hour). Room was dingy (housekeeping didn't show up until 6:30pm one day). The clientele is really low class - noisy, uncouth - one night the cops showed up. One of the most repulsive places I've ever stayed. more

Both times I've stayed here, I've stayed in one of the oceanfront, 2 bedroom efficiencies. I stayed at the Viking 2 years ago with family. The hotel was very run down then, and was not extremely clean, but I had little complaints. You will not find a cheaper ocean front hotel in all of Myrtle Beach... which is why we... more

We stayed at the Viking from May 28-June 1 2009 and we really enjoyed it. Our room was clean, the stove and refrigerator worked, housekeepers came by daily. We had a sideview room with 3 double beds, a kitchenette and bathroom. I think we payed $279 for the 4 days. The kitchen also had a coffee maker, toaster, pots and... more

My husband and I stayed here for a week toward the end of May. Reviews i read before leaving for our trip had me expecting the motel would be horrific. There were no bugs, the sheets were clean, the property is in a great location. You get what you pay for, and for the price it was a great deal,... more

Without a doubt the worst lodging experience of my life. Why this facility is still operating is a mystery! Where to start.. Safety - non exsistant. The door is keyed with a tradition key. The door is so flimsy a small child could knock it in. We did not feel safe. Noise - The out side noise from kids running... more

I was embarrassed when I opened the door to the 1st room. It wasn't cleaned.The 2nd room was just as bad. Thread bare sheets that didn't fit the bed,Sticky floor in the Kitchen area, mold in bathroom. Motel in DISREPAIR, they ought to be ashamed of themselves.They should'nt be AAA rated. more

We stayed here for v-day 2009. for what we paid per night for a 2 room ocean front "suite" you just can't beat the value. Rooms were very clean, older and worn but clean, bathrooms clean,beds a bit hard but once again for approx $35 per night with an ocean front room just can't beat it. our "suite" had two... more

I am shocked by the terrible reviews here! We stayed in June of 2008 and had a lovely time. The front desk was very nice - though not open 24 hours. The pool was VERY clean - the rooms were clean if a little run down. But bathrooms were clean and beds were comfortable. We were 50 steps from the... more
