Modern B & B

The plus of this hotel is the interesting other guests, the owners who will go the extra step and the location. It could all do with a good spruce up outside - I was a bit dubious to start with, but the room was comfortable and the location meant I could walk to the Menil collection easily. The WiFi was reliable too.

Lisa is such a kind and thoughtful host! I only stayed one night because I was passing through but I wish I could have stayed longer. Montrose is an awesome artsy and welcoming neighborhood and everyone staying at The Modern BB was there to see all the art exhibits. I had a great time speaking to the other guests over a delicious breakfast and enjoyed having coffee and tea with Lisa. This is a sweet little gem in the Montrose neighborhood. I hope to come back.

I almost always give restaurants or hotels five stars in rating as I appreciate people's hard work, BUT experience at this place was humbling. I almost could not check in as I arrived in the evening. I should have read more reviews of this place before I booked. Joke on me. Details below: No staff member was around when I arrived. The host claimed the check-in stopped at certain hour but never told me when. Both Priceline and google map stated check-in time is simply after 3pm. Fortunately, the phone number on google map worked so I did not need to pay for another hotel to spend the night. The host refused to send me the check-in info via email after I requested twice. The phone call with the host to find my room was patronizing to put it lightly. The next day, I ate my breakfast and left the facility as fast as I could. If you decide to book, make sure call the host before your trip if you don't get an email. I searched my inbox and spam inbox, I never found one. Pro: I enjoyed the breakfast and chatting with the guest. Good location. Wifi works.

Rooms were not the cleanest with the bathroom being outside the room. The bathroom also had an opening into shared areas, so privacy wise it wasn't the best. The breakfast was good, with omelettes freshly made on demand. The place itself doesn't look the best (I guess it's not meant to be luxury but still). However it's located in a nice neighborhood so it wasn't the worse. It's also pretty close to downtown and some activities around.

My husband and I are now regulars! Lisa and Avi have “ taken us in” and offered true southern hospitality to my husband and I. We are here to have medical procedures and we found this dream air b&b!! Would recommend to anyone traveling in this area. Tell them Val sent you!! 🤣

Positive: Personally cooked eggs for breakfast. Negative: Could not figure out how to change the temperature, work the wifi, or get hot water in the shower. Parking was crowded

“Share the details of your own experience at this place,” Google says. Oh, man! Where to begin? The owner (who I’ll call “L” for privacy purposes) is a complete sweetheart. She even offered me change for the metro rail within ten minutes of my arrival. There is a lot of value in a host who makes a point to meet you face-to-face. Her cleaner, M, was also extremely friendly. This is to say nothing of the master chef in residence. R, the chef, Prepared me a fantastic omelette, while entertaining my conversations. The other guests were also fabulous, so maybe I just got lucky. But I can tell you that the accommodations, including the bedroom and bathroom, were all outstanding. I also appreciated having parking space and smart TV. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast… and I will be back!

There was some confusion in the type of accommodation required, but Lisa went out of her way to correct our accommodation. Very laid back and friendly bnb. Cook to order breakfast in a family environment. This is not a 5 star hotel, but I’d take modern bnb over any other place in the city. Can’t wait to go back!

An incredible B and B that offers everything you could want in a place to stay. Rooms with fun activities like ping-pong and great magazines. And the bedrooms are clean and neat with wonderful bathrooms. The owner, Lisa, is such a sweet and caring woman with lots of yummy treats to sure. I truly had an amazing experience here. The best place to stay in H-Town.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Modern B&B! Sarah, the owner of the B&B is absolutely a wonderful host! The room was clean. The bathroom was wonderful. It's very basic and everything that you need. I really appreciated the little lamps on the headboard of the bed to read at night. The commons area are very inviting and plenty of little places to sit if you just want to be by yourself with a book. The neighborhood has lots of things that you could actually walk to if you chose to do so. Lots of easy to get to shopping areas and very close to just about anything in downtown Houston. I had wonderful conversation with several people and met some new friends! I will definitely stay here again. The only thing that I would caution anybody and is, there are stairs all over the place. So if you have a problem doing stairs, this probably wouldn't be your best bet. Other than that it's absolutely wonderful. I did not mind the stairs at all.

Our family had a great time staying at Modern B&B. Lisa was so accommodating and Roxanne serves a delicious breakfast. There is a giant ping-pong table that we took advantage of throughout the weekend. It was a great place for a family to gather.

If 0 stars was an option I would have given that. Walked into the common area which was dirty and smelled like weed. Called lady and she gave very vague directions to the room and seemed very annoyed. When we asked if this was a smoking building she stated explicitly not and tried to state an anointing building was the reason for the smell. While trying to explain that we didn't want to be charged for smell she went into a "weed smoking coughing fit" and abruptly hung up on us. Bed was stained with what looked to be paint and other bodily fluids. We left immediately as this place was gross and unsafe feeling.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. The price is upscale but the accommodations and staff decidedly are not. The place is outdated and run down IRL. There was a busted chair in one of the rooms me and my group stayed in, which is never a good sign about the care or attention being put into running the b&b. Roku was not set up -- you will only be able to watch cable television. The floorboards were visibly grimey. The building was hot and stuffy, and as with another reviewer, we were not shown the AC nor told how we should change it. The bathroom still had trash on the floor from the previous guest and there were no trash bags in any of the trash cans. No one offered to put the trash bags in the trash cans -- we were handed trash bags and expected to place them in the bins ourselves. Good customer service means anticipating the *BASIC needs and expectations* of the guests, it does not mean that you avoid accountability by replying to bad yelp reviews with your excuses for bad customer service. They don't think about the needs of guest here (and quite frankly the entire staff had a dimwitted and unclean appearance to the point that I'd be surprised if they did any thinking at all), and you will be treated as an inconvenience. Breakfast is an overstatement -- you will not be served or offered anything, and the food and drinks provided are low quality, cheap, bulk foods. The energy from the staff is sleepy and negative. This is definitely not the vibe for anyone on vacation visiting the fine arts scene, and it is definitely not the vibe for anyone under age 35.

Overall cute place to stay in a very central part of Houston. Located in the Montrose area close to shopping and restaurants. The owner is very sweet and accommodating. The home feels very comfortable. I did notice a few water damage places that need to be updated and some parts of the home seem a little dated but otherwise I think it's a good B&B to stay. Bottom line...if you are looking for a comfortable place to stay that's central to shops and restaurants this is the place for you. Pros Location Comfortable Modernish Cons A bit dated Water damage in places of the home

We chose this B&B based on the excellent reviews we read. We got the complete opposite of what others received. We booked a certain apartment for the privacy. As we were driving to check in to the room, I called the owner. Only then did she tell me there was a plumbing problem with the apartment and we couldn't have the one we booked. We chose another apartment. When we got to the B&B to check in, the owner had disappeared and we talked to some other lady who took us to the apartment. We entered the apartment, and it was 84 degrees inside. We also got only one key to the gate outside the apartment that automatically locked behind the guests, and there were two of us. Unfortunately the key didn't work well and took a lot of work to unlock. One time, we got locked out in the rain and stood outside, fruitlessly trying to get it to work for ten minutes. At first, it looked fine, however, we soon discovered it was missing supplies and it was dirty. We were able to quickly retrieve the toilet paper and soap, but when we tried to complain about the condition of the room, we received no response for about 12 hours, since the second lady we talked with to was off the next day and we had no information as to who to speak with for any issues. Not only that, at the breakfast that was supposed to be included, we were told we would have certain breakfast items that were actually not included as promised, so we ended up having to pay for breakfast on our own as well. Ultimately we talked to yet another lady who offered to let us change rooms. We did not want to do that, since we were only staying two nights. We agreed upon a partial refund. I'm glad we only stayed two nights!

I stayed here during the Hurricane Harvey fiasco while working it. Even though it was the only place I could find on short notice it did not fail to meet my expectations. Lisa and her staff were very gracious, accommodating and went out of there way to see all my needs were met. Come and enjoy the Heart of Houston...Strong!!!

We just stayed 2 nights at Modern B&B and it was perfect for the two of us! The room was huge with an equally large closet with cuddly robes. Furnishings are contemporary and artwork in our room and throughout is stunning. Breakfast included delicious freshly ground coffee ! Fruit, muffins, granola toast, bag, muffins eggs however you like them,Cooked to order! The chef was a genial hostess and quite engaging. We loved visiting with the owner, Lisa and her friend Ari. They both had great recommendations for the neighborhood, which we took...lunch at Paulies was terrific. The reason. For our quick trip was to catch the Van Gogh at the MFA but honestly! the Menil complex was the STAR! We'll be back!

Overall this is a beautiful, relaxed space with a funky vibe. As opposed to a more formal setting, it feels like you are staying at a friend's very cool house. I will be visiting again. I stayed in the Treehouse room on the 4th floor for one night. Pros: -The room is serene and secluded, the only one on that floor. The king-sized bed is a dream and the huge bathroom with jacuzzi tub and shower are made for relaxation and renewal. -French doors opening up to a large, tree-shaded balcony and also a stoop with a winding staircase down on the other side of the room. -I stayed solo, just looking to get away for a night, but this would be a romantic love nest for a couple. -The decor in the room is minimalist, giving a Zen feeling to the space. -Do you need a giant, and by giant I mean room-sized walk-in closet? This is the one for you. -The common areas are comfortable and inviting, and the structure of the building, with rooms scattered about, almost in cubbies (though much larger of course), allow for a lot of privacy if you're not into socializing. -The breakfast was good, nothing mind-blowing but what you might expect from a continental breakfast with the option of an omelette. -Location! In the heart of the Montrose area and close to The Menil and Rothko Chapel , the Contemporary Arts Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Lawndale Art Center, and much more. -Off-street parking -Lisa was kind enough to accommodate me for a last-minute booking. Cons -This is a big one - nothing about this place is ADA compliant. This is not a place for those in wheelchairs or who otherwise have mobility issues. My room was on the 4th floor, and I walked up 4 flights of stairs to get there - no elevator. Even the lobby is up a flight of stairs on the 2nd floor. This was not an issue for me personally, but I did notice this deficiency. -Little things, like cups and water, would be a nice touch in the bedroom. Update the appliances; a smart TV and USB ports would bring it up to speed. -Breakfast is meh - perhaps make a few local favorites, at least on weekends, for those coming in from out of town. Instead of having guests go to the kitchen to get water from the fridge door, offer water or at least put it in a carafe in the table with the other juices and milk. Also, and this is nit-picky, but the napkins look like they were just crumpled on the plate - iron the napkins or something. It affects the ambiance of the breakfast experience. -LOVE the balcony, but I thought it was private as only my room and a door at the top of the stairs that only lead to my room entered onto it, but I was startled when another boarder appeared on the balcony. I was assuming it was private, based on the set-up, but making it clear whether it is or not would be helpful. Also. Better patio furniture - one chair was broken, and both weren't particularly comfortable. -Hot water- I really needed to take 2 therapeutic baths due to a back injury, and neither at night nor in the morning was there enough hot water to take a really hot bath. Perhaps a water heater just for that room? Just a thought.

#1) The room we booked didn't have an attached bathroom, and we weren't informed of this until we arrived. The door has a private bath sign on it, but the door was clearly in view of the common area where everyone could clearly see what we were wearing to and from the bathroom. Other guests could access it, even when we werent there. I doubt the private bath sign would deter anyone fom using it. #2) The towels nor linens were changed AT ALL the 2 nights we stayed, which is gross. The store bought shampoo,conditioner, and body wash were good but i expected more "one time use" not community use items. #3) We were never shown were the thermostat was and all we had to cool the humid room was a clanky ceiling fan that had seen its better days. #4) The bed HAD ALSO SEEN ITS BETTER DAYS. Everytime we moved, it made a loud screeching noise telling me that the box spring is way overdue for changeout. #5) When we did go to breakfast, we saw a host of cereals, and fruit, donuts, cupcakes and cookies on the table. The hostess rudely informed us she had one piece of quiche left, and she would offer to make us eggs or an omlet if we wanted? Say What? Um, if i wanted cereal and donuts, i wouldnt have paid an outrageous price to stay at a B&b. #6) The breakfast hostess ignored us the entire time reading her paper. Then when she did acknowledge us, she stated that the owner "would hunt us down" if we didnt stay there again. Ha! Um, once again, say what? My husband and i travel quite frequently ataying in new places each time, so we can experience something new. This place is NOT on our "VISIT AGAIN" list. Its only face value pretty, but the inside speaks for itself. Its not genuine hospitality, and we felt like we were invading in someones private place vs being welcomed in. It was a disappointing experience. We won't be back.

I stayed for just 3 nights in May 2021.. Hosts Lisa and Avi made my stay comfortable and relaxed. Quiet, clean room with excellent breakfast prepared in the common area. Highly recommend this spot for business or travel stay. Great location in a quiet residential zone yet close to public transit and downtown area.

Modern B&B is tucked away on a quiet street. During my stay, I was the only one in the condo next door to the main building, so it was really quiet. The bed was comfortable, and the room and bath had all the comforts I wanted. It was nice to have access to the full kitchen upstairs, too. Plus, they gave me a cool coffee cup! At breakfast my last day, I sat with Lisa, the owner, and we had a nice visit. The place felt just like home, and I'll stay there again the next time I'm in town.

"Where do you live? It must not be a real city." That's what the proprietor had to say when I shared that my car window was smashed while it was parked sight-distance from the Modern B&B. If you think Austin is a real city, and you have a car with windows, maybe don't stay there.

Modern- check, B&B- check! This place is hella cool! I would much rather stay here over a hotel in Houston any day. The photo makes it look like it is set off a major street but it's really smack dab in the middle of a nice, quite neighborhood not far from the Menil and Rothko Chapel. So it fits in nicely with its neighbors. The owners are very accommodating. It seems that they love having the bed and breakfast guests sit and drink wine all together in the early evening but they don't make you fell guilty if you have dinner plans. In fact, they are quick to recommend some of their favorite spots and will google the places for you so you can decide for yourself. There were only a few guests when I stayed and it was quite through the night, though I didn't feel like I had to whisper. The B&B is split into two different houses that are connected and they each have living room/sitting areas and kitchens that are available to you at any time. The Owner told me I could bring groceries and stock them in the fridge if I wanted to and ,"feel free to help yourself to a bottle of wine." The Owner asked my work schedule for the following day so she could be sure the all organic breakfast would be ready for me. I told her I wasn't much of a morning person and usually didn't have time for breakfast. Much to my delight she had a breakfast packed up for me when I woke up. All and all, it was great experience and all for a very reasonable price!

Just finished a 3-night stay at the Modern. We had the Treehouse room which was simply awesome. Quiet, great bathroom and a HUGE walk-in closet. And the bed in that room is SO comfortable - better than my bed at home. The breakfasts were outstanding with fresh-baked muffins, homemade granola and made-to-order omelettes. Lisa, the proprietor, was very helpful and accomodating and the b&b is in a very convenient location - close to downtown, good restaurants, museums, etc. Highly recommended!

I had a really great experience at the Modern B&B. Lisa, the person who takes care of absolutely everything was very helpful and considerate. They even took my call at 1:00am when I was trying to find the place due to coming in on a very late flight. They did everything to make the experience really pleasant. Guests tended to sit around in the evenings and socialize over some really nice wines provided by Lisa, which was right up my alley! Not to mention the architecture - very cool - and I was upgraded to a terrific room at no additional charge. Do yourself a favor, drive 10 minutes out of downtown Houston and treat yourself to this B&B! Oh, I ended up there because the Hilton was full due to a conference. Lucky me!

I checked in to the b&b around 5pm on a Monday then went to meet up with some friends. Upon returning to my room (~10p) I turn on the lights and see multiple roaches run into my luggage. I call the owner and left a voice message saying there was a bug issue. I then tried to get settled in for the night, my dog starts barking. I look down, more roaches. I call the owner again around midnight. Her apology was "I'm sorry your dog is barking at roaches" and "I'm not sure where you're from, but in Houston, after it rains, there will be roaches." She said there wasn't anything she could do so I left and booked at the westin in the galleria. While the westin is obviously more luxurious, the amenity I've enjoyed the most is the peace of mind that there won't be roaches crawling into my luggage/into my mouth. I spoke with many locals the following day who stated the day after rain does NOT attract roaches in their houses. The idea, premise, price and location of the modern b&b were all intriguing, but I would think pest control/cleanliness would be hospitality 101

Great place for our group of 20+. Rooms were nice and the shared common areas worked great for our weekend conference. Walking distance to several very good local spots plus easy access to museums and Rice University.

I am not someone who enjoys long trips away from home without my husband, but Lisa and the Modern B&B made me feel so welcome and relaxed. I really felt like it was a home away from home with the fresh and healthy homemade breakfast, the happy hour wine and nuts, evening chocolates, board games with the other guests, movie nights, and the comfortable bed. I stayed in the Spa room and it was perfect for my solo trip. I will definitely stay here again when I come to Houston next as the location is perfect to easily access the parks for running, the downtown for touring, and the universities and medical campus. Less than 30min from the airport is also a plus. Very pleased with my visit.

While the manager did what she could to accommodate an overbooking that left me without a room at the location at which I actually booked a room, I was sorely disappointed with the alternative they presented me. When I arrived I was told I had been overbooked and that my options were basically take it or leave it with whatever they were going to give me. They ended up dropping me at a crummy apartment a couple blocks away. The poor status of this apartment was extensive. Dirty, stained carpets, loose cables coming out of the wall, tape marks on the wall that had peeled paint off the walls, dirty scuffed walls, a broken, a broken office chair that was missing so many screws I wasn't able to even sit on it, and burned out ceiling lights. In the bathroom there was a rusted, and dirty drain stop, the soap was an almost finished bottle of body soap, the window was masking taped over seemingly years ago and had never been removed, and the shower towel I used had long blonde hairs on it. The feel of this place was as if I was crashing at a buddy's dorm room. There were also numerous amenities listed on their website that weren't provided including a hair dryer and iPod docking station as stated on their website. I asked for a refund before even staying my first night. Be careful and make sure you know what you're getting.

This place is not great at all. I honestly got the rudest booking call ever. I called to see how much it would be to rent out a house and the lady just assumed the worst out of me and denied me to book a house for one night although their website CLEARLY STATED you may rent out for ONE NIGHT and she had the audacity to say no we cannot book for you because of your reason which is just have to a girls night sleepover. Then she clearly hung up on me without even letting me finish. If you're going to have terrible customer service then don't even bother booking here no matter how nice it might look.

I have stayed at the Modern since it opened over ten years ago. Great architecture, cool funky place, great people, close to everything and awesome breakfast. I prefer the top floor rooms, all of which have great views. I travel constantly and love this place. It is my "go to" place every time I am in Houston, and I have referred a number of greats. Kudos to Lisa and all of the staff!

This is a great place to stay in the center of Houston's most welcoming neighborhood. It is located on a tree lined street and blends in with the surroundings. The owner, Lisa, helped accommodate us at the last minute with a great room and was extremely pleasant the entire time. The breakfasts are made to order and fill you up until after noon. The hospitality, location and room selection can't be beat!

Amazing find. The owner / host Lisa makes this a special place to stay. The place is an amazing building, great comfort, good food & wine and very easy going / social. I felt more like a was coming home to fun roommates each day rather than returning to some stuffy hotel. I will stay here every time i return to Houston from here on out.

A lovely place to stay! It is a really friendly place, but you can go about your day and not feel overwhelmed. We had the treehouse room, which id huge and has a jacuzzi bath and enormous bathroom/wetroom as a whole. Lisa and her chef are lovely, food great and we would most certainly stay again and recommend it as a destination. x

I recently held my wedding at the Modern B&B, and I could not imagine it having gone more perfectly. The bed and breakfast is unique, hip, comfortable, and really just plain cool. Holding an event at this venue is so much more unique and memorable (and MUCH more affordable) than a hotel chain or other typical venues. The staff, including the owner Lisa, is extremely accommodating and a pleasure to work with. We rented out the entire house the night of the wedding for a very reasonable price, and all of our guests woke up in the morning to a delicious breakfast prepared by the chef. The entire experience was perfect. Next time you have a small event in Houston (max of about 60 people for a sit-down dinner), do yourself and your guests a favor, and choose the Modern Bed and Breakfast.

I joined yelp in '07 and thought the Modern should be my first review. Great people run it and you meet other interesting people sitting around the big table at breakfast or late at night, drinking wine with them. I've stayed there off and on for years and I'm looking forward to going back in a few weeks.

I was trying to find a place to celebrate my 5th year anniversay. This place looks great from the website photos, but my wife and I will never find out what it's really like. The owner Lisa hung up on me for trying to find out what the rooms are like and how they compare to one another. If there were more photos of the room I wouldn't have ask. I've never been so rude to. She admitted my questioning made her felt like she was lying to me about the rooms and told me that she didn't have to book with me and that her b&b Is almost full and to go somewhere else. I would have expected this response from an employee but not the owner. Looking at the other reviews, we can see that it's not hard to offend or irritate this owner. She was well aware of the fact that I've never been to her b&b and should not have gotten so emotional, so quickly. I made 3 phone calls. The first 2 she hung up on me and didn't let me defend myself from her overly drastic conclusion and the 3rd she did not pick up. I had stayed at La Maison in midtown a few years ago and loved it. Now I wished i had booked it before it was full. I wanted to try this because it looked really nice and modern. But at the heart of this beauty is an ugly queen who can only cater to those who don't tick her off. Give La Maison a try. It may not be as chic and "modern" but the room (#303) we stayed at was gorgeous and the breakfast was beautiful as well as delicious. Plus the owners and the staff was very friendly. Forget about this place, give up modern for classy.

I always have a great time when I get to stay at the B&B modern Lisa The owner is a very smart and welcome woman, she knows anything you need to know around Houston. Breakfast is amazing Roxana the chef can prepare any style of omelets Highly suggest this place Ciao

My family came to visit for the holidays and stayed in four of the rooms. They had a great experience. Everything was clean and in good condition. The breakfast and service was wonderful. It's in a fun location that's close to everything. I'm definitely recommending this B&B to friends and family.

If you travel to Houston, you gotta look at staying at Modern B & B for a great non-traditional experience. The owner Lisa is super friendly and helpful in guiding you to places to visit in Houston and enjoys talking to her guests, especially at breakfast.. It is an enjoyable and quiet place to stay near downtown.

I can't speak for the actual b&b but I rented one of the full apts from the b&b owner. From reading reviews, I learned that then owner is lovely if you like everything and horrible if you don't. In my case, the apt I rented was dirty, loud and had a terrible hole ridden dirt covered mattress with an unwashed duvet. The pillows were stained and lumpy, the shower shot knife stabbing streams of water and there was one, that's right one glass (this is a long term rental). Between the 3am dumpster diver and the hardware store outside inventory shift at 6am, I had to leave. When I told the owner I had to leave and why, instead of saying sorry and asking if she could do anything, she said "when are you leaving and good luck finding a place for another 5 days." I went to the lovely Palms on West Main, a kitschy and warm b&b that is hosted by the lovely Tom and Rick. Sometimes bad things have to happen to set you on the right path. Please read my review on Palms on West Main.

Our experience at Modern B&B was great. We were greeted warmly by the owner upon arrival, and the third-floor unit where we stayed was very bright, open and spacious with high ceilings, large private terrace with outdoor dining table and a second smaller balcony with a spiral staircase to the street. The bathroom was enormous with double sinks, a walk-in slate shower and large jetted tub. The king-sized bed was very comfortable with a feather-bed top. Although there were some water deposits on the slate in the shower, everything seemed very clean. The common areas have a casually elegant feel with mid-century modern furnishings and large tables for breakfast, etc. They provide a nice spread for breakfast, and their on-site chef served delicious omelets. The location is very central along a tree-lined street that's within walking distance to a few very nice restaurants, Trader Joe's and other conveniences. We would stay here again (without a doubt) upon our next visit to Houston.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to write this review. So many good things to say about this place and the people who own/run it. First off, it's architecturally beautiful. Truly modern, yet warm. Second, it's in a great, central, arty and gay friendly area of H-town. (It's in Montrose.) Third, Lisa, the woman who owns the place and the chef are two of the nicest people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. They were both incredibly helpful with restaurant recommendations, directions, etc. More than that, they were just very cool people that sincerely cared about their guest's happiness. Fourth, the breakfast!!! You will get spoiled. Fifth, the other guests are amazing, all really cool people you'll love talking to. Even I liked talking to them and I'm not exactly Ms. Social Butterfly, lol. Sixth, the room ("the treehouse") was enormous and comfortable in every way, and so was the bathroom. Wonderful tub, btw. Oh and the bed... omg... I'm a pretty light sleeper (and pretty picky about all things bed related) and let me tell you, this bed was incredible. I would have happily stayed here forever. Seriously. In fact, by the end of only a four day stay, I felt like this WAS my home. In fact, I think I slipped and said, "let's go home now," or "I think I left it at home," meaning Modern B&B... probably more than once. That's how comfortable it is. I felt like I was young again, living in an apartment with roommates...a really nice apartment, with really nice and interesting roommates, and with a lovely chef who cooks wonderful (organic) omelets in the morning. :) There's also wine and apps served in the evenings. I've stayed in many B&Bs and I've really enjoyed most of them, but this one is special. This one is very different from any other I've ever experienced. If you're visiting Houston, or have friends/family in need of lodging, I HIGHLY recommend it.

I travel to Houston for work frequently and found the Modern B&B when all of the hotels downtown were booked because of conventions (which happens frequently!). The house, the rooms, the hospitality, the food (and wine) is always great and is such a welcome change from staying in a standard hotel. In addition, the neighborhood is fantastic. There is so much to do within walking distance - restaurants, bars, shops all in a friendly neighborhood atmosphere.

This is a perfect place to stay when visiting Houston! It's so comfortable and fun and Lisa, the hostess is great! She made us feel so welcome and at ease and happy. The food, drinks, rooms, everything was just what we needed for a weekend away. I love this place! The cat was friendly and sweet. The other guests were interesting and open to random conversations, a true gem in Houston!

We usually stay in chain hotels but decided to try something different. What a great decision that turned out to be! This B&B was hip, great room design, clean, great location, and most importantly, all staff were superb! Whenever I'm visiting Houston, this is the place I'll be staying.

I've stayed here a couple of times for business trips. I always have a good experience. I like the casual vibe and there's always interesting people to meet over the extensive breakfast spread. Lisa is great and really provides a unique experience.
