We had a great stay at the Ski Inn. Location was fantastic and the unit was clean and cute. Small but perfect for a quick stay in Girdwood. The common area was well equipped and a nice hangout stop where we met some other folks traveling through. Pretzel bagel was YUM! We really enjoyed it here and would stay again.

Our room was cozy, the bathroom was roomy. It's a staff free environment and they keep a fridge filled with some nice snacks and drinks for guests as well as coffee etc. The beds were comfortable and the place was relatively quiet. Our only issue was keeping the room cool enough during the night, though it was likely the hottest time of the year

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!

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.

I gave Ski Inn 5 stars because it was a fabulous stay and me and my hubby enjoyed everything about ourstay. The faucility is not 5 star, but the experience was. Clean rooms, comfy bed, gathering room was well stocked and clean, the atmosphere was friendly and best of all, iy was welcoming. We're going back to Ski Inn on our return to Anchorage airport. The only downside would be, it's not handicap friendly. This is not a hit against, but maybe it should be noted. We are 76 and 78, in good health, no problem for us. We enjoyed the Girwood Forest Fair. BEAUTIFUL area!

Great location, cozy/welcoming common sofa area for sitting, and an ample breakfast spread to power our ski day! The Ski View Room (#3) was a little tight for 2 adults and all our gear, but conveniently located near the entrance on the ground floor. If I visit again, I might consider a slightly larger room like the Park View.

After having cleaned my own B&B for 17 years, there were some things at Ski Inn that needed slight attention. There was a used tissue in the floor near the door, the waste basket had not been emptied before my arrival, and there was something else resembling a piece of granola on the floor. They could have had a dog in there, and maybe it was dog food. I know how hard it is to turn a room over after only one night. The staff was very helpful at checking me in. That was excellent!
