8/10 Good
"Staff were great. There were some minor Reno’s happening but it was just the lobby area. The room was a typical guest house room a bit smaller than a typical hotel room. It was functional and clean. The real charm of this place is the Viking theme and just odd stuff around every corner of the property. We ate dinner at the attached restaurant which was also nicely themed. There is an older part (we stayed) and a newer part (renovating) the old part was neat I imagine the new part will be more like a traditional hotel room?"

"Happy with our stay, good value for money. Room was spacious enough to fit our suitcases comfortably. You can park for free across the street from the hotel or one block over. ~20ish min walk to the busy area. Breakfast was light but good enough to get going for the day. We had no issues with our check-in code but we saw one person outside talking with the property because theirs wasn't working. Overall we were happy with our stay given the price point."
