The Viking Motel operated at 2511 London Road from 1961 to 2000, and was demolished in 2001. The two-story, 30-room motel overlooking Lake Superior listed these amenities on its postcard: “Room Phones. Free Color TV. Coffee. Air Conditioned. Bridal Suites. Water Beds.”
M&I Banks built a branch on the former Viking Motel land. The property was sold to Hermantown Federal Credit Union in 2014 for $936,800. It presently serves as HFCU’s Financial Services Center.
