Interesting and unusual place, a welcome change from the normal, bland B&Bs. Fun people and good breakfast. Location in walking distance from the museum district was perfect!

The best place you’ll ever stay!
I’ve been around the world, and I have to say this bed-and-breakfast in Houston was the most memorable experience I’ve had staying at a place. The comfiest bed I’ve ever slept on, and waking up to a full breakfast spread coffee and a great conversation was a perfect way to start my day. With 100% come back and only stay here.

Moving Daughter
The breakfast was great, and it is in the center of everything we needed to do. We moved our daughter to Houston in the Montrose area, and it was only 4 minutes away from where she is living.
The owner is quick to respond if you have an issue or questions.

My stay at the Modern B&B was great as always. The breakfasts are super, especially the omelets. The room was clean. The service was excellent and friendly. This is a comfortable B&B not a 5 star hotel. It has a home feel and look.

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

Comfortable stay with lovely breakfast
We only stayed for one night, but the parking was perfect – right in front of the door and very safe. The room had everything needed for a short stay.
Breakfast was a highlight: freshly prepared eggs and wonderful coffee, served by a very kind staff member, with jams and muesli also available. The large, cozy dining room with a long table made it feel very welcoming.
The only downside was that the room had a slight smell of dampness, which carried over to the clothes. For one night it was fine, but next time I would ask for a different room. Overall, I would be happy to come back.
