South Central Alaska Winery Accommodation

We rented two rooms at a rate of $222 per night. Both were located in the outer building and were less than favorable. Specifically, the linoleum in the room was cracked and warped from the door to the bathroom. The window lock was broken and wouldn’t properly close. There was a gap under the door that allowed wind and road noise. Lastly, the exhaust fan in the bathroom was very dirty and the molding in the bathroom was broken and missing. I would never stay at this hotel again.

It was clean and convenient. The staff was all very nice.

The room type that I booked was "Sold Out" when I arrived for 3 p.m. Check-in. The front desk person had no idea why. Unfortunately, no manager was available until the next day! Thankfully, she still was able to get me a room for the night, but not the King Suite that I reserved. I cannot recommend this hotel at all. While it is a cool location next to Ships Creek, it is also next to the train station. The trains blast their horns all night long! I'm not exaggerating how loud this hotel is! Between the trains, the super thin walls, and the 20 hours of light- it was impossible to sleep here. The only redeeming factor was the complimentary breakfast with delicious coffee and the super nice "breakfast man."

Stayed three nights. Many things at resort and Girdwood (town) were not yet open. The tram to top of mountain was closed as were many restaurants. The front desk supervisor, Hannah Antonucci, was extremely helpful in recommending area things to do and short day trips. Don't miss the surfers riding the Bore tide on Turnagain arm. Recommend start north of Girdwood (Bird point) and follow tide toward Girdwood such as MP 94.5. Tide runs about 15 mph so easy to get ahead of it. Make sure to bring bathing suit for Nordic spa. The Chair 5 restaurant is great and now offers reasonable breakfasts (still Alaska pricing).

Nice breakfast, but not enough room for customers. Very cramped.
