The Bird Creek Motel was clean and comfortable. There was a small issue with the room upon check-in. The staff was very quick and fair in responding to situation. And the view from the rooms is gorgeous!

It was a nice affordable place to stay after landing at night in Anchorage and needing to travel to Seward the next day.
Beds were comfortable enough, and for a quick stop, this does the trick. The nightstand and other surfaces were covered in a layer of dust, which made me wonder how clean it could be or when the last time it was wiped down. The plumbing was making loud noises the entire night, not sure if it was the neighbors flushing or if there was another issue. Bathroom was the nice albeit cramped. If you’re looking for a no frills, cheap stay, this is great. Check in was easy, literally didn’t see or hear from the property owners except a text requesting license plate.
This cute little motel had a clean basic room, however the beds were very soft and in need of replacement. The room had a refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine, plus a large fan. We didn't hear any road noise as we used the fan to cool the room. The location between Anchorage and Girdwood was convenient but there isnt much else around. There are however many hiking trails along the Seward highway, including across from the Bird Creek Motel.
We enjoyed our stay here. When we first drove by it was a little scary. Motel type places usually aren't places we would stay. It could use some updates on the outside and inside. It's an older place. On our second stay, the woman who helped my husband check in gave us the largest room because we had stayed there a week before. She was very kind. Her daughter came down to show us how to use the remote for the TV that we couldn't figure out. Very, very helpful and friendly. We will stay here again.
