What guests think
Across reviews, Brown & Hawkins Historical Apartments is praised for its central, walkable location and historic character, with generally clean, cozy units, though the vintage building brings tradeoffs like steep stairs, occasional noise, and uneven amenities.
Several guests reported unreliable Wi‑Fi, inconsistent temperature or hot water, and occasional mislabeling of bed size (advertised as queen but actually full). Some mentioned maintenance or housekeeping lapses like dusty fans, stained futons, and aged fixtures. Service is often described as friendly and responsive, though one reviewer reported poor pre‑arrival communication and a narrow check‑in window. Expect a simple, historic stay best for travelers who value location over modern polish.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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 eeds 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.

Rooms
Rooms range from small studios to surprisingly spacious units with basic kitchenettes; several guests were comfortable for two. Recurring drawbacks include unreliable Wi‑Fi, noise from halls or stairs, warm rooms with limited temperature control, lack of blackout shades, and bed size misrepresented as full instead of queen.

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.

No one wants to lug suitcases around the block!!

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.

Also, the ceiling fan blades have 1/4” of duct in them and really eeds 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.

The apartment was perfect for a short stay in Seward. It had a kitchenette with all the necessary things you would need and a nice bathroom.

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.

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.

Communication about which apartment was ours was a bit confusing but they quickly communicated even after their regular business hours. Very clean accommodation in a historic piece of Seward. Great location downtown; could walk everywhere!

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.

Historic apartment with everything you need. Bit like stepping back in time which was cool. Comfy bed, extremely hot water if you need it lol! Fantastic location downtown in shopping area with great food and bars just steps away. We stayed at 8 different hotels, lodges, etc on this trip and this was our favorite.

No elevator, but this wasn't a problem for no us. Since there is no one on site we didn't know what room was ours or the front door code. Better community up front would have been good. Otherwise it was good, excellent location, comfortable bed

Fun ans clean space, great location in the historic center of Seward....literally a stones throw to the Sealife Center. Great coffee (loved the Rowdy Radish) shops, eateries, bars, and local arts. One draw back to being close to bars....late night noise.
