Only two principal suites	Limited accommodation inventory
Larger suite can sell out quickly	No elevator
No swimming pool	No fitness center
No conventional restaurant	Breakfast inclusion varies by reservation
Fewer traditional hotel facilities	Limited publicly displayed direct rates

The property is best suited to travelers seeking independent accommodation, comfort and waterfront surroundings rather than extensive hotel services.

Rooms & Suites

Nordic House offers two principal suite configurations.

The official property information describes accommodation with private entrances, living rooms and full kitchens.

Across the complete property, approximately four bedrooms are available.

Junior Suite

Maximum occupancy: Approximately 2 guests

The Junior Suite is the more compact accommodation option and is particularly suitable for solo travelers or couples.

It provides a private sleeping area together with kitchen and living facilities.


Full/Double bed	Separate bedroom	Living area
Private bathroom	Kitchen facilities	Refrigerator
Microwave	Oven	Stovetop
Dishwasher	Toaster	Electric kettle
Kitchenware	Dining table	Tea and coffee facilities
Flat-screen television	Free Wi-Fi	Heating
Wardrobe

The combination of a separate bedroom, living space and kitchen appliances makes the Junior Suite especially practical for multi-night stays.

Deluxe Suite with Sea View / Family Suite

Maximum occupancy: Approximately 6 guests, depending on configuration

The larger accommodation is suitable for families and small groups needing additional sleeping space.

It is also marketed on some booking platforms as a Family Suite.

Some guest reviews refer to accommodation at Nordic House as the Captain's Quarters.

A published booking configuration identifies:


2 Queen beds	2 Twin beds	Multiple bedrooms
Waterfront/sea view	Full kitchen	Refrigerator
Oven	Stovetop	Microwave
Dishwasher	Kitchenware	Dining area
Living room	Private bathroom facilities	Flat-screen television
Free Wi-Fi	Barbecue access

This larger suite is particularly useful for families or groups who want separate bedrooms and shared living facilities.

The waterfront views and full kitchen are among its strongest advantages.

October 2026

The following comparison uses researched single-night accommodation prices for October 2026.

Research benchmark: October 20–21, 2026, for one night.

Prices are shown in USD.

The direct Booking.com research identified a Junior Suite rate, while a separate published listing showed a higher Deluxe Suite price.

However, the larger accommodation was not available in the four-adult Booking.com search for the selected dates.

Room-by-Room Price Comparison

Room Type	Booking.com	Booking.com Displayed Charges
Junior Suite	$264.50	Approximately $16 shown in supplied research
Deluxe Suite with Sea View / Family Suite	—	—

The Junior Suite was the lowest accommodation category identified in the researched Booking.com search.

A separate indexed Booking.com listing also displayed approximately $529 for the Deluxe Suite, but that amount was not confirmed as an available rate for the October 20–21 four-adult search.

It should therefore be treated as a published price reference rather than confirmed October availability.

For the selected dates, the four-adult Booking.com search returned no availability.

That result does not establish whether the larger suite was available through other booking channels.

Booking-Site Comparison

Booking Platform	Confirmed October Room Rate
Booking.com — Junior Suite	$264.50

Nordic House is also listed on Agoda, Trip.com and Skyscanner, but the supplied research does not establish dependable room-specific October prices through those platforms.

The official Nordic House website provides access to a reservation system, although the researched October rate was not available from its publicly indexed information.

Taxes & Final Cost

Petersburg Borough applies both a 6% general sales tax and a 7% transient room tax to qualifying short-term lodging.

The transient room tax increased to 7% beginning January 1, 2025.

Both taxes are calculated separately on the applicable room rent, rather than one tax being charged on top of the other.

Tax Component	Rate
Petersburg Borough General Sales Tax	6%
Petersburg Borough Transient Room Tax	7%
Combined Lodging Tax	13%

For the researched $264.50 Junior Suite rate:

Base Room Rate	6% Sales Tax	7% Room Tax	Approximate Final Cost
$264.50	$15.87	$18.52	$298.89

For the separately published $529 Deluxe Suite price reference:

Base Room Rate	6% Sales Tax	7% Room Tax	Approximate Final Cost
$529.00	$31.74	$37.03	$597.77

The second calculation is illustrative because the Deluxe Suite rate was not confirmed as available for the selected October dates.

Important: The supplied Booking.com research showed approximately $16 in charges for the Junior Suite, which is close to the 6% general sales tax alone. That displayed amount does not account for the full 13% combined tax when both local taxes apply.

The final reservation breakdown should therefore be checked before assuming that the booking platform's displayed charges represent the entire local tax amount.

Recommendation

Nordic House is a strong small-property option near Petersburg James A. Johnson Airport (PSG) for travelers who prioritize spacious suites, waterfront views, kitchens and personal service.

For solo travelers and couples, the Junior Suite is the most practical choice. It provides a separate sleeping area, private bathroom and well-equipped kitchen facilities.

For families and small groups, the Deluxe Suite with Sea View / Family Suite is more suitable because it offers multiple bedrooms, greater sleeping capacity and shared living space.

The researched October 2026 Booking.com rate for the Junior Suite was $264.50 before applicable taxes, while the larger suite was not available in the four-adult Booking.com search for the same dates.

The property's airport and ferry-terminal transfers are particularly convenient for travelers arriving by regional flight or the Alaska Marine Highway.

Overall, Nordic House is a comfortable waterfront accommodation option in Petersburg for guests who value apartment-style lodging, scenic views, walkable local attractions and practical transportation arrangements over full-service hotel amenities.
