This was a great location for us for an over-night and it is in a beautiful area. Great breakfast food options. We really just slept there (and that was fine) but we were a bit disappointed that the bathroom (that we shared with 4 other rooms - kind of surprised that there were 4!) had no hot water!

This is pretty much a self-check in/out style place. It is a good location to stay if your heading to Whittier and want some thing to do before you go. Has brewery nearby and the tram to the mountain ski area.

Self check-in, easy to do. There is a fun gathering area with well staffed refrigerator and coffee bar for breakfast. Very friendly atmosphere. We stayed twice at Ski Inn in the course of two weeks. We really enjoyed both stays There’s a wonderful grocery and a excellent food establishment across the street. Thick bath towels are such a treat!!! Enjoyed our stay.

Nice attractive Inn. Under construction while I was there, so a little noisy and some unfinished walls but normally a very nice affordable option in Girdwood.

Overall it was a pretty nice place to stay at. I would suggest avoiding room number 5 or room number 7 because these two rooms do share a bathroom. The staff was friendly and accommodating. They did have nice snacks and drinks.

Very nice inn. Very small room (not enough space to lay a suitcase open on the floor). But still a nice stay with good views. They also have some snacks at the lobby, which is very helpful!

It's a house converted into a hotel in a quite neighborhood in Girdwood. You have to be quite as walls are thin. There's a grocery store close to it if you need anything.
