Overall very affordable, clean, friendly staff, snacks/breakfast availability was a nice addition. Something to be aware of- the room we stayed in was very small, barely enough room to put our suitcases in. The only complaint we had was that when we arrived we mistyped the access code to the front door (too many times… our fault!) so we were locked out & dialed the # listed in the window “for lockouts” & it appeared to not be an operable number. We knocked on the door multiple times w/no answer. Eventually we googled the owners manual for the lock & figured out how to reset the keypad. Overall good experience w/ good value.

We arrived early for the day of check in and left our bags there and adventured for the day. They texted me that our room was ready at 11:00am and that they loved our luggage in. That was 4 hours ahead of check in time.

Loved the option of fruit at breakfast. When you travel a lot of times you can't eat what is best for your diet, fruit was gratefully appreciated. Our stay was very pleasant. Hopefully when we return to Alaska we will be able to stay at the Ski Inn.

Great little getaway place

This place was great overall. Just a heads up for people staying here; there is no elevator. If you have issues with stairs, request Room #1 or #2. Room #3 (where we stayed) is down 4 stairs, but it's not too bad. Room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. There are several eateries within waking distance.

Ski Inn Girdwood

Loved the placed, its several rooms in an older home but very nicely decorated and quality decor, sheets, towels. The only downfall was no room for suitcases or to hang some clothes. Also there was no breakfast but their was a frig full of fruit, juice,yogurt,bread, bagels,cheese, sparkling waters. I would rent again if I'm back in Alaska.

Was nice having an en suite. The doors of the room next to mine were very creaky and made lots of noise every time they were opened or closed, but the room was comfortable and the shower was hot. I appreciated the food choices and made use of them.
