Nice stay, great cooked breakfast in the morning. Very friendly staff. The only con which is prevalent in many B&Bs is lugging our suitcases up the stairway to the bedroom area,

The room was a little snug, but modern and clean. The staff was the highlight! Very informative, helpful and accommodating. The food was great and the location was walkable to the bay and many shops and restaurants. B&B’s are fun because you get to meet others and hear about their experiences as well. Would definitely recommend!

Good B&B . Smaller room. Good service
Breakfast was very good. Fresh choice of eggs, potatoes, very good coffee, banana bread, fruits. True B&B setting for breakfast with other customers. Great service. Early check-in (2 hours early) was possible. Sarah called us about a clothing item left behind after we checked out. Got a small discount from booking boat tour of Kenai fjords with Northern Nights.
Room small for 3 people.

We had twelve of us (7 kids) in th 3 spacious rooms. Plenty of parking and restaurants 1-2 walkable blocks away. Quick drive to the pier for excursions. Stayed for two nights and owner had accommodated our early departure for a glacier boat tour by having breakfast ready and for easy/quick eating. One night utilized the grill for local grocery store bison burgers, reindeer sausage and fries/tater tots in the oven. Plenty of space for everyone to eat and have a drink / laugh / enjoy on our last night in Alaska. Highly recommend all around this property.

Good alternative to expensive hotels
Informally run B&B with minimal contact with owners/managers, which is fine with me. Breakfast was good and house was clean, though not fancy or memorable. I usually prefer more traditional small hotels, but this was a nice change, especially in a small town with seemingly insufficient number of hotel rooms. Location very near downtown and bay.

We had a lovely stay at Northern Nights. Our host, Sarah, was very warm and welcoming and really went the extra mile to help us with a small personal situation. The rooms for my family and me were clean and spacious. We even had access to an outdoor patio off of our room. It was a treat to have a homemade breakfast and to chat with the other guests. My favorites were the sourdough waffles, the banana bread with chocolate chips, and the array of colorful fresh fruits. We hope to return to Seward and would definitely try to stay here again. Also, the property is within walking distance to the restaurants and shops.

Clean bed and breakfast
Great stay for 1-night! Home cook hot breakfast - nothing fancy or gourmet, just cook to order! Comfortable bed! Room is spotless clean! You are free to grab things from their kitchen in the afternoon & evening. So you can get drinking water from the fridge - as long as you return everything you took from the kitchen before morning! The breakfast service in the morning was great. The breakfast itself it just typical American hot breakfast. However, when you first arrive the B&B, the host is not there to greet you. We didn’t know they have a hot water kettle until the next morning. It’s not close to the cruise terminal so you’ll have to catch the town’s free shuttle or walk 20 to 30 minutes with your luggage.
