The Hotel Viking is a historic property that is in good repair and general maintenance. Dining options are VERY limited and the bar/lounge is grossly undersized in proportion to the hotel's capacity. Our "Junior Suite" was a long, narrow room featuring an enormous elevated bed (steps required to get in/out) at the far end. Such placement did not allow for TV watching while in bed. The couch opposite the TV was well-worn, and the mattress was punishing. All lights in the room were self standing lamps which required individual attention.
It was a bit disconcerting at the first entry.
The bath/shower featured black mold in the grout next to the tub. When bedding was requested for the couch, we received two pillows and a fan(?).
Our stay was overnight to see the 'Breakers' in full holiday splendor. Our hotel experience was sufficient for the purpose. Perhaps the biggest hotel attraction is that it is dog-friendly.

Beautiful classic historical hotel just down the road from the Newport “Cottages” shopping and Thames Street. Parking has gotten to be expensive in Newport be prepared. We ate at Nicola’s restaurant on Memorial drive, excellent and not over priced.
