Brown & Hawkins Historical Apartments

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!!

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.

Super cute apartment

I loved how easy check in was and we really enjoyed the Seward Alehouse just up the street!

The room was very small and poorly maintained, and not very clean.

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.
