This hotel was a great spot for a short stay, offering clean rooms at a good price. The location was perfect for easy access to restaurants and nearby attractions. While the facilities were basic, they met our needs, though the service could use a little more personalization. Overall, it's a solid option if you're looking for comfort without breaking the bank.

The room was small, but clean and included a fridge for drinks. The bed was a bit firm, and the TV didn't work, but we were only there for one night, so it wasn't a big deal.

The Viking Lodge is a cozy spot that my family has grown to love over the years. The updated rooms add a fun vibe, and the location is super convenient for dining and shopping. However, some of the furniture is outdated and the beds could use an upgrade for ultimate comfort. Overall, it's a great choice if you're here for skiing and close access to local amenities.

The Viking offers a charming old-world vibe with its paneled walls and exposed beams. It has a great location that makes it easy to access food, bars, and ski transport without needing a car. However, the outdated beds and furniture could use an upgrade, and conveniences like in-room coffee machines are missing. While it's a decent and economical choice for skiing, it might not be ideal for a more luxurious stay.

Rooms

The rooms had a nostalgic charm but were outdated, featuring old beds and falling-apart furniture. There was a small refrigerator and television, but overall, the amenities felt limited.

I had a pretty decent stay overall. The lodge is right in the center of Winter Park, making it super convenient to get around. My room was clean, but there were some issues with the thermostat and thin walls that made my stay less than perfect. Also, the Wi-Fi was only available in the lobby, which was disappointing.

Rooms

My room was clean and included a fridge to keep my drinks cold. However, the thermostat was broken, making it uncomfortably warm at times, and the bathroom was small.

I had a solid experience at the Viking Lodge. It's definitely not luxurious, but the price is unbeatable for the great location right near the Lift stop and dining options. The room we had was spacious, fitting three of us comfortably, but it felt a bit dated with the outdated TV and a small bathroom. The vibe was casual, very much like a lodge for those hitting the slopes, and I appreciated the ease of access to everything around.

Rooms

The room was spacious enough for three adults and included a fridge, but the TV was outdated and the bathroom small.

I appreciated the straightforward service as there was no daily maid service, which I actually preferred. It felt more like a home than a hotel.
