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.

Loved staying at Northern Nights. Will stay here when we come back. Sarah was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was a fountain of information and was ready to help in any way. Had bear spray and more for the day hikers. Breakfasts were yummy and cooked to order.
Sarah is an incredible host, who prepares delicious breakfast, best coffee I've had in Alaska! The home baked fruit breads, taste so good! The room has three beds, perfect for us. The shared areas are clean and felt like home. Walking distance to the stunning bay views. Highly recommend for Seward staying
Historic house, use of communal kitchen was encouraged. We stayed in Exit Glacier room—perfect as we hiked to the glacier. Gave good advise on where to eat.
I booked this property for excellent rate but I think it is overrated. You have only one room and other area is common, as a family with small kids you have to control them all the time, the thing wall won’t prevent any noise. I saw great review for breakfast, unfortunately there is nothing more than a hotel free conventional breakfast. It is better for couple but not great for a family
A great find. We booked last minute due to previous motel not having a suitable room! This place is a gem and the host was wonderful. Very convenient for restaurants, shops, Sealife Center.
Highly recommended.
Sarah is the hotess with the mostest! Comfortable beds, very clean, themost delicious breakfasts, convenient to everything and a very interesting, and congenial host.
A very enjoyable three nights!
Sarah is the best host we have ever had. So kind and helpful for ideas on what to do and where to go! Breakfast was delicious and I only wish there were more like this!

Disliked: Staff & service
Fair accommodations. Not as friendly as other B&Bs I have stayed, no warm greetings by the host. Breakfast was made to order, standard eggs and bacon/sausage.
This was a cute Bed and Breakfast and convienant to restaurants, the water, and our cruise location. Sarah was so nice, was helpful in helping us book excursions. The breakfast was the best on our trip! I'd definitely stay here again!
