I only stayed for one day, but it was totally worth it. Way better than a hotel room

Clean and comfortable and great location!
Everything we needed for our 2 nights were available in the unit. Beds were nice, kitchen had enough utensils to cook up a meal for our family. It’s a great location with shops under the building and around. Definitely consider this unit if looking for a place to stay in Seward.
A bit of time travel staying in this historic building, with the charm (some antique furniture) and also a few inconveniences (steam heat; no dishwasher) of an older property. Perfect location for enjoying all of Seward.
Apartment was very nice and cozy. Everything was clean, bed was very comfortable. Love location very close to many restraints and activities

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Not as advertised.
Checkin was easy, however the unit walls were dirty, couch was old and dirty. Bathroom sink didn’t drain, shower had mold on the door. There was a sewer gas or septic smell, that was hrs to look past. Pillows in bed were very very thin. We have stayed in other properties of this age and had no problems. We checked out immediately and notified property manager. We had to scramble to find a room which was a huge challenge on a holiday weekend during the end of vacation season. We had to move 4 times during our stay in Seward just to be able to have a room. The property owners should perhaps inspect their property and show it some love. The property manager was nice and apologetic but it took some time to get a refund which was only partial.
My two sisters and I stayed here for the final leg of our Alaska sister trip. It was perfect for us!
It’s walking distance to most everything in Seward. We had a car, so the easy parking accommodations were a bonus.
The building itself is old and very charming. We were in unit #3. I read in previous reviews that there was no curtain in that room. The host has taken care of that. I slept on the sleeper sofa in that room and had no problem sleeping during my late July visit.
The unit is a walk up, so beware if you have lots of luggage to carry. It's not fancy but it has all of the amenities you could possibly need - coffee maker, pots, pans, microwave, silverware, oven, stove, etc.
We highly recommend!!!
Charming place in a great location with everything we needed. Note there are no curtains in the room with the fold out couch, but were were able to hang a comforter over the curtain rod to darken the room during our late June visit.
This apartment (apartment #3) was in a perfect location! Right on the Main Street, walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and the Sea Life Center and a 5 minute drive to the harbor. The building itself is very old and historic which is cool but also means thin walls and creaky floors. Also - no elevator and the apartments are all upstairs so not the easiest if you have big/heavy luggage. The apartments are all in the back of the building, not the front, which isn’t a big deal, I just thought based on the pictures that the apartment would be overlooking the street which it wasn’t.
By mistake our apartment had not been cleaned from the previous guest when we arrived. Luckily , Erica from Coastal Heritage Accomodations had texted me earlier in the day to answer a separate question so I had her direct contact info. I texted her and she responded immediately. She sent someone over right away to clean the apartment and even offered us to head downstairs to the ice cream parlor to enjoy on their tab.
The only other downside was that the living room area, which had the sofa sleeper where our daughter slept , did not have any shades on the window, just a light curtain and as sunset this time of year is not until 11:30 it was difficult for her to sleep. Definitely recommend a sleeping mask if you plan to utilize the bed in that room
B&H is a cozy historic place. I like the fact that it’s old and still sturdy. The apartment was comfortable. We felt at home each time we came back from our day time adventures. We’d book again!
The place was just as described . We loved being in middle old
town area of Seward . With out a car this was the perfect
place to see the magic that Seward shared with us .

We loved the location and convenience for our trip to Seward. It was really clean and we had everything we needed. The fresh coffee beans and French press added a nice touch as we are coffee lovers. We would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay!
I’m so glad I booked the historic Brown and Hawkins apartment for our stay in Seward rather than going with a traditional hotel. Check in/out was about as easy as it could possibly be. The apartment was clean and well stocked, and when it became impossible to get into a local restaurant for dinner, we were extra grateful to have a kitchen so we could still have a hot dinner even if it wasn’t fresh halibut). We loved the history of the building and would have loved to have a little write-up about it in the room to learn more. What a great stay!
