Charming surprise!

Liked: The owner of this small throwback motel is a delight! Very personable (I suspect she's the original owner.) Lots of nice touches, such as the cheery blue quilt print bedspread, and a picket fence between the posts of the walkway on the lower level -- which I'm sure was the protection needed for the lovely patch of healthy lawn between it and the parking area, creating instant appeal to an older property in this rather worn section of Detroit! Picket fence and grass! -- I'm in Detroit, really? And the bath towels were so soft, not the typical low-budget find!!
Disliked: The Viking motel shows its age in small, fairly insignificant ways, things not affecting our comfort: insulation visible around the a/c unit, a slightly rusty bath drain. And don't be put off by the homemade covid-secure passthrough for items not fitting through the usual paper & pen tray under the plexiglass in the office: she joked that it "protects people from this mean old lady!" (LOL -- not a mean bone in her body, I'd say!)

great spot

Liked: the price and location. for budget travelers who want a location not far from downtown Detroit. rooms seemed recently remodeled and everything was very clean. I came here for movement festival. it was great spot for the price.
Disliked: I don?t have any complaints.

Pleasant

Liked: Location, can walk to just about all venues. Has it?s own private parking lot. Priced right for what you get. Clean enough and no bugs!
Disliked: Cable didn?t work in room. Wasn?t able to accommodate two rooms, even though that is what was booked, bit it wasn?t entirely the hotels fault! Recommend booking directly with hotel.
