This property shows what can be done with an old road side motel and excellent taste. Property was beautifully redone. A friendly atmosphere with gracious host. The rooms are small, but spotless. Breakfast was not much, but the coffee was good. A simple layover while waiting for the ferry. I will be back.
Easy to find good parking although pulling out of the parking lot due to the proximity of their sign to the road can be difficult. The room was very clean and comfortable. We didn't use the pool but that looked very clean and other guests were enjoying it
The Viking Arms was a great choice. One floor, park in front of your room, pool, c ontinental breakfast and spacious enough for my husband to move around with his walker.
No problem amending our stay from 10 nights to 5. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Comfortable beds and pillows. Soft sheets. The rooms are good sized and comfortable. Staff is very friendly. The grandkids loved the pool. Conveniently located to Oriole Park for ball games. Would stay here in a heartbeat again.
The property was convenient to the car ferry dock.
The young lady who checked us in did not have a lot of knowledge of the surrounding area when we asked questions about where to go to find things (like local gas stations or a car wash).
