Viking Shores Motor Inn

My family had this motel booked for 8 nights a couple months ahead of our trip. Firstly, When my grandma had booked this motel, it said that breakfast was included in the price but when we got here, the concierge said that there is new management and breakfast is no longer being served. This was not mentioned after booking, probably because they did not want to lose the booking. Secondly, upon entering our room, there was a horrible smell, the garbage bin was full, the shower was disgusting and looked like someone had just taken a shower because there was hair and water in the tub, there was also a used soap and coffee stains by the sink. When we brought this to the concierges’ attention, he said there wasn’t anything he could do besides give us a new room. The new room was very outdated and the beds were very poor quality so we decided to ask for a refund. We ended up booking with the Rodeway Inn, they were very nice and accommodating. Please don’t be fooled by the reviews, it’s ok if you just want somewhere to stay for a night or 2 but it’s not clean at all and it’s just not worth the money, spend a little extra for better quality and a better experience.

We have stayed at Viking Shores several times. In an attempt to return, a direct call was made to receive a better quote than on line. A MAN WITH A HEAVY ACCENT STATED THAT THE MOTEL IS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. THERE IS NO LONGER ANY BREAKFAST. THE QUOTE RECEIVED WAS 200 DOLLARS MORE THAN ON LINE FOR A 3 NIGHT STAY. THIS INFORMATION WAS SHARED, THE MAN SAID THAT HE COULD GIVE US A QUEEN BED! FOUND ANOTHER MOTEL!

One thing that distinguishes the Viking Shores is that the room rate includes Continental breakfast – you can have your fill of croissants, banana bread, fresh fruit, milk and cereal, and coffee and tea to your heart’s content. While there are some competing properties on the Lower Cape that offer a Continental breakfast, most don’t offer the wide selection that the Viking Shores does, in as welcoming an environment. The property has 40 rooms; in-season rack rates start at $162 per night, and there is a 20% discount with AAA. AARP, or if you are in the military. Managers Alan Carrier and Kate Krapivina will take great care of you and offer a personal touch to make the most of your stay. The rooms themselves are quite clean, with refrigerators and hair dryers included as well. The location is superior – right on Route 6 in Eastham, only five minutes from the stunning sands of Nauset Light Beach and Coast Guard Beach). Coast Guard Beach is rated among world-famous Dr. Beach’s Top Ten Beaches in America
