This place is a dump and that is giving it too much credit. The room itself smelled very bad-like dirty feet! The sheets on the beds had somebody elses hair on them and the bathroom had not been cleaned at all. Used soap was on the sink and bath tub and and the carpet was very dirty. We had to... more

The parking is very bad. Only a few spots in front of the place the rest of the parking has to be done across a very busy street that you must try to cross safley. The ceiling in our bathroom above the shower was litterally falling down and was tried to be taped up. I never got in the pool... more

I want to tell all who are considering staying at the viking motel that it is a terrible idea, it would be a waste of your money and you could probably find something less at a better place. First of all when we arrived our room was not yet ready, we had to wait about 2 hours to get our... more

We stayed at the viking in 2008 and again this year. The reason is the great price, we can stay twice as long here as anywhere else for the same money. 1)Bring your own linens, sheets are dirty with hair on them also towels and wash cloths are dirty and rough as sandpaper. (we bought sheets last year for their... more

We stayed at the Viking for 3 nights. Too bad we read the reviews after we made reservations. Staff was friendly and the pool was nice, but the rooms were NASTY. We could not walk on the floor without shoes on or we would find that the bottom of our feet were dirty. Black hairs in the bathtub(not ours.) Mold... more

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
