    For my last two travelling visits to US the best place I have ever stayed. The atmosphere, location to Menil and Rothko chapel ... and last but not least the delicacy of the breakfasts. In Houston area ... I will always stay here.

    The room was nice and quiet with private BR and patio to smoke. The carpet in the town house needs to be replaced and the ceiling fan needs a good cleaning. The owner was extremely pleasant, helpful and breakfast was excellent. Would stay again..

    Innkeeper Response
    Agreed that the carpet needs to be replaced, we've decided to use flor. Thanks for the info on the fan, it'll be cleaned today. --Lisa

    Enjoyed our two night stay. The room and common space were nice. The immediate neighborhood was a little dodgey but the B&B seemed secure and the general location was perfect for our needs. Other guests were SO interesting, artists, dancers, designers - it was a pleasant surprise.

    I happened across Modern B&B the day before my arrival because I was looking for a relatively cheap place to stay in the Montrose area for the New Year's weekend. One thing that gave me a good first impression right away was that Lisa called me a few hours before I was scheduled to arrive to bring it to my attention that there would be a NYE party in the common area of the B&B and, since my room would be near the party, it might not be a good stay for me. Since I was going to be out while most of the party was going on, I said it was fine...she even offered to bump me up to a bigger room, farther away from the party. I appreciated her reaching out because most hotels in that price range wouldn't have warned me and just taken the money. When I arrived, Lisa was very nice and personable. She even recommended some good bars to go to, as I was going out that night. The building itself was really nice and well-kept. The room looked great and the bed was comfortable. The rooms come with a flat-screen TV and Wi-Fi...both were of good quality. Another high note was the breakfast. There's casserole, eggs (cooked however you want them), fruit, cereal, pastries, smoothies, yogurt, etc. So much to choose from and it's all good. The cook is excellent. The only thing I didn't like was, by nature of it being a B&B, the privacy wasn't what you'd get at a hotel...so bringing a buddy back to the room isn't an option if that's something you'd want to do. Also, the parking could be a bit better, as there's not lot. But overall, I had a great 2 days in Houston, and the hotel was a large part of that. I'll definitely be looking into Modern B&B again next time I visit Houston.

    Great way to spend a night away from home

    The Modern B&B was great, Lisa gave us an upgrade to a larger room what was a welcome change. Great location. Finally breakfast in the morning was fantastic, my omelet was perfect. Look forward to another stay.
