This is a bed and breakfast owned and run by Sarah who is delightful! She makes homemade breakfast bread ( banana chip, lemon raspberry, blueberry rhubarb, etc) for breakfast along with made to order eggs, waffles, bacon, sausage and home fries. Great conversation around the breakfast table with fellow travelers and we thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay there. Very homey atmosphere.

What a lovely place! After departing a cruise ship early in the morning, we were able to store our luggage there and see the town while waiting for our room to be ready. We stayed in the Bear Glacier room on the first floor, basically 2 adjoining bedrooms and a bathroom. Very comfortable! Only negative is that the walls and floor are not insulated to reduce noise. Could hear pretty clearly through the walls. The breakfast was delicious and made to order. Sarah even made gluten free scones for my daughter! Great location - walking distance to the aquarium and downtown. Seward is such a beautiful spot. I would definitely stay here again!

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.
