Great place
The outside looks are deceiving. This place is a gem. It is very comfortable. It has a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The bed was great! My only wish was that the water was a little hotter. Great place to stay!

Nicely renovated older motel.
Nicely renovated rooms at older motel. Very quick to answer request for another set of towels. Close drive to Girdwood and short drive to Whittier.

Better Than Expected
Much nicer on the inside than the outside. Check in is DIY, like airBnB. Clean and updated rooms. Much cheaper than Anchorage.

It was an older motel but had been maintained well and was very comfortable and quiet. Could use another mirror in the room, but it was good and reasonably priced.

It is not the Hilton, but the room was clean and everything was easy to get to and the price of the room was in our budget and certainly satisfied our needs. Would stay there again if I am in the area and needed a room for overnight.

We arrived late and simply entered our room code. The motel was an older building, but inside had been renovated within the last few years. It was a clean and nice place to stay on the road. We literally came in, showered, slept and then we left the next morning.

The property was ok, kitchen and laundry facilities in the apartment. Its more of an Airbnb than a motel room. There was no front desk or checkin.

The Bird Creek Motel was a perfect location for our exploration of the Girdwood area. The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, the location was great. It was very quiet. Check in was easy with a code to our room texted to us. Easy, convenient. Recommend

Loved the bathtub! A real one from back in the day before shrinkflation took over and started shrinking everything. Best price on the peninsula in the tourist season. Being a local forced to go to Anchorage for whatever reason, it was nice to be just outside the overpriced zone. Thank you, Veronica!
