Reviews

We had one of the luxury suites (Marble House). A lot of repairs needed. The ceiling had been fixed and spackled but not painted. They had an extension cord connecting the heater to the wall outlet and it was taped to the bottom of the wall. The wall paper seams were peeling apart. There were dirty dishes from room service in the hall the entire day.
Both days we were there no one came to clean the room. We had to call at 4 and 5 oclock.
It's a shame. We were married here 6 years ago before it was renovated and it was a palace.
Now it appears to be managed like an ordinary motel.

Hotel Viking is an extremely nice hotel and place and the accommodations were great.
Nice walking tour of Touro Synagogue and the history of Newport Rhode Island.
I would definitely return again in the future.
