The location was great for walking or getting transportation. There were restaurants and bars nearby. Quiet at night. Seemed clean. Needs a lot of upkeep and updating. Pretty rough.

We liked that this property was right in downtown and we could walk to mostly everything. The only thing that was unpleasant was that the water wasn’t hot if we took showers in the morning. It was hot if we took showers at night. It was also hard to get our bags up to our room because of the stairs, so I would definitely take a small bag if you’re going to stay here. We were disappointed that you had to pay for laundry. It definitely wasn’t a spot for cooking because there were very few supplies in the kitchen, so I would plan to eat out while you’re there. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We also appreciated the fan that was included in the closet because it does get pretty hot in the room without it. We enjoyed our stay.

Old but nice

The apartment was in an old building and smelled old, but I didn't mind; it was very quaint. There were no dark shades over the windows so it was hard to get it dark enough to sleep. It was nicely updated and had a nice kitchen that was fully stocked (no food). The WiFi hardly worked at all, so we were not able to watch any TV at all. The water in the bathroom sink was switched so the hot water was on the right. We did enjoy our stay though and the location couldn't have been better - close to shopping, ASLC and great views from our windoes.

We had a great stay in Seward. Our apartment was in the heart of downtown-walking distance to shops, restaurants, Sea Life Center & Waterfront Park. We had a private bathroom, futon, kitchen amenities. We had a studio apartment but it was fine for just the 2 of us.

Nice place in a historic location

Good communication with the property management with instructions on how to access the building. The only real problem we had was the apartment was billed as having a queen sized bed. It was not but rather a full sized bed. We spent an uncomfortable night trying to sleep in such a small bed. The futon cover was stained and was not fit to sleep on. Also, the ceiling fan blades have 1/4” of duct in them and really \needs a good cleaning. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to bring our food in to cook dinner and breakfast. I’d stay there again.

B&H appears to be a bit of a work in progress... I appreciate the history, but for the price would like to see considerable updates. 1. Steep stairs going to rooms. It's one thing to state no elevator onsite, but another to have to haul luggage up that staircase. I'm fit, anditwas doable, butnot easy. 2. A door that locks. Both the main entrance and the room doors were very very difficult to deal with. Especially the room door... though the front door accessible from the street was also a challenge. 3. Wifi was terrible. Neither of us couldget online for more than a mi ute or two before being bumped off. Fortunately i had phone service but my travel mate did not. When we could access was verrrrrry slow. 4. Update the pipes. I don't want lead poisoning..... And last, 5, explain street parking.... again, maps took us to the alley. No one wants to lug suitcases around the block!!

It was fun to stay in such a historical space. Nothing fancy but we had everything we needed. Theres lots of places to eat and drink and shop right out the front door. We loved walking along the water in the evenings after our adventures. Perfect for two and a third if they dont mind the pullout couch. I'd stay again.

The property was well-kept for its age. The studio unit itself was clean and cozy. The location was central to many shops and things to see. The noise from people walking through the hallway and up/down the stairs wasn't muted by our apartment walls and made sleeping difficult. We had also paid for a queen unit and had a full-size bed instead. There was no discernable thermostat and we both were too warm overnight.

We enjoyed our stay in Seward and the B & H was a large part of that. The location is fantastic. Getting in out is very easy. With that being said our room did not really lock. You could get the latch to catch but a little pressure and it would open. We did not feel safe leaving our valuables in the room. The staff was fantastic. Gave a place to relax while we waited for the room they were putting a TV in. All in all we really liked it and would stay again. Paulette and Gina.

Funky, historic, old Alaska building. If you like to experience a little bit of history, this is your place. You’re not staying in a Marriott, just remember that. The floors creak and the door is thin, but you’re inside a building with a locked entrance door at street level with just six apartments upstairs, so it feels safe. Old radiator heat says grandma’s house and we loved it.
