Very Pleasant Experience!

Northern Lights was wonderful! We would absolutely stay here again. Sarah was a tremendous host and cooked a great breakfast each morning :). The room was clean, had everything that we needed, and very comfortable. The location is excellent, easy to find and had parking directly in front of the bed and breakfast. It made our time in Seward very enjoyable!

Tad

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
This is a wildly over priced glorified hostel with minimal decor, cheap amenities and a breakfast cook who couldn't be bothered to say good morning or be pleasant. The view out of my alley facing room was of electrical lines and huge transformer. The front yard was untended and the overflowing compost pile next to the front door was the icing on the cake. And for this I paid $250 a night. Amazing. I hate being ripped off.

Northern Nights is in a great location, close to the scenic waterfront, right next door to the excellent Seward Library and History Center, and a short walk from a lot of great shops and restaurants in historic downtown Seward. Sarah, your hostess, has comprehensive information and recommendations about things to see and do. The B&B itself is bright, clean and comfortable. The breakfasts are outstanding.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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 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.

Northern Nights is a great place to stay for its convenient location, clean and comfortable room, homey shared space (living room and kitchen), and responsive host. The included breakfast is made-to-order standard American breakfast (e.g. egg, bacon, sausage, potato, waffle, coffee, fruits... etc.). I especially like the home-made lemon cranberry bread. The property is within walkable distance to Resurrection Bay, restaurants, and coffee shops, and is just next to the beautiful Seward community library/museum. Sarah (the host) is friendly and communicated well in emails before our visit. We booked the glacier wildlife cruise tour (another thing I recommend to do in Seward!) through her with discounts. Sarah is very helpful and Northern Nights is a beautiful house.
