Northern Nights

Sara was great getting us settled in and she made a fantastic breakfast. Each room had its own bathroom. There were restaurants, shops and a water front walking trail all within blocks of the location.

We didn’t book an extra night.

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights at the Northern Lights B&B Bear Glacier suite. Overall the place met our expectations. The great things about the place were that our "suite' was large with two rooms and good size bathroom; it was just two blocks from downtown; had good parking; staff was friendly and helpful; breakfast was made to order; good and PLENTY of food; they allowed guest to use the kitchen in the evening where we made two dinners; and their front room was comfortable with a table right next to the front window where we played cards and read. We also could use their washer and dryer for a very reasonable fee. I would note they run another unit called The Front Row (we think). It is a newly constructed condo we believe. The guest there come to The Northern Lights for breakfast. Guest from their said it was very nice and looked right out on resurrection bay.

There were several less positive items. The place's décor was fine but it is a little staid. Our queen bed was very firm - much firmer than I would ever expect in a B&B or hotel room. I had trouble sleeping on it the first evening but adapted afterwards. Finally the noise in our room in the morning was loud. They start breakfast in the morning around 6:45. Kitchen noise, talking and people walking on the first floor or stairs coming down were all loud. It is not likely someone would sleep past 7 am in our suite.

It is a short walk to the ocean and very close to great restaurants. Sara cooked an amazing breakfast and was delightful to talk to. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast.
