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.

Liked the property (we rented #8). It was clean, excellent location, and more spacious than expected. Kitchen was stocked with just enough for two. We often ate meals in the apartment. Would stay here again.

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.

NO Communication or Refund

I could never get a hold of anyone for a conversation about check in- They have a check-in time of only 3 pm-5 pm.. this was not made visibly aware until after I had made and paid the reservation. Then NO ONE would answer the phone. A 3 hour drive for that crap! I paid for a room I never got to check-in and stay in. NO COMMUNICATION whatsoever.

Alaska trip 2023

Property itself was great, self contained and centrally located, issues arose around the heaters not working, particularly in the bathroom, we stayed in room 8 at the back of the property located next to the rear stairs, neighbours across the way continually coming and going at all hours of the day and night and using the washing machine. Great to have an onsite washing machine and dryer.

This is in a great location within a few minutes walk of the Sealife Centre and all the shops on 4th Ave. Unfortunately, Apartment 6 is misrepresented in the Orbitz description, which states it has a queen-size bed. The bed was a full-size, which is much too small for my husband and me to sleep in, so I was relegated to the click-clack sofa which was uncomfortable, resulting in a sore back for me for several days. The full bed was also very noisy when my husband changed position in the night. Adding to the noise was the rain pounding on the roof all night, and a heating/cooling unit or something on the adjacent roof. However, there was no traffic noise or people noise.

Room was very clean. There is a convenient washer and dryer in the building that we found very helpful after hiking several days. Back stairs are a bit scary.
