Sweet place is the richest cultural spot in H town. Other guests at breakfast were delightful. Staff were not as welcoming as we might have wished for— but phone calls yielded Success. A great place with ample room and great breakfast

Liked: Cleanliness
The place is beautiful, in a nice residential area. These were the main draws for choosing. Sadly, some drawbacks would prevent us from recommending. We hoped for a more walkable experience, but this was not really the case. There is parking but not guaranteed or enough if property is full. The room was clean, but in need of care. No housekeeping during stay (which we were OK with). The check in was OK, and we were happy to be shown to our room (which we worried about after some of the experiencies from others). The owners/staff were nice (enough), but wished for a bit more hospitality overall. A funky / off experience, but it served its purpose.

Modern B&B is in a very convenient location for visiting Houston. We found the hosts to be very friendly and accommodating, our room very spacious, and clean. Breakfast had many options including cereal, toast, yogurt, fresh fruit, oatmeal, eggs (cooked how you like), coffee, and juice. Parking is a bit tight, but our only real (small) complaint is that the room was quite warm, as the afternoon sun shone on the west-facing wall. Downstairs was a large, shared kitchen which was nice and cool by comparison. We would probably stay here again on another visit to Houston.

Great B&B

Modern B & B is located in a quite and safe neighborhood. I slept comfortably and it was very silent. It has easy access to downtown, Museum district and so on.You will need a car. I went solo. but it is suitable for couples and family. The host of the Modern B&B is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very nice as well. I will stay in with them on a future trip to Houston.

It was okay.

Hotel itself is weird. I did love the location due to how close it was to the main attraction and downtown. A lot of food options around. I did find stains in the bed sheets, and on the towels. Pillows might need to be upgraded due to how flat they are. Shower water would take a couple minutes to get warm, if too hot and tried to change it, it’ll get really cold and take another couple minutes to get warm.

Lisa was really sweet, and helped us out a lot . Place was semi clean, we did find two live roaches. Parking was okay , sometimes we had to park pretty far from our actual building which was a little inconvenient since I had a surgery. Breakfast was included but it was really just omelettes, fruit and granola daily. Would have liked some range considering how long most people stay. The people we shared a building with were extremely loud and were always burning food stinking up our entire bedroom… but other than that it was decent for what we needed.

Cute and Convenient

Lisa was very welcoming and recommended some very cool spots for us to check out! The B&B is located in a cool LGBTQ neighborhood and we loved that vibe! It wasn't bad for our 1st B&B experience. The only complaints I have are no control of the thermostat (we like it cold and it was 73-75 degrees in there) and limited parking. We only saw spots for 4 vehicles. If there were more options, we were unaware.
