Sycamore Heights was built circa 1905 in the heart of what is now the historic Houston Heights neighborhood. The latest renovation was completed in 2007. The inn provides the perfect setting for an intimate weekend getaway or as a venue for major social events. Though guests at Sycamore Heights feel like they're in a private and peaceful enclave, the inn is actually close to Houston's energetic downtown area, eclectic shopping district and vibrant entertainment center. The two suites in the main house reflect a cozy turn of the century atmosphere. The carriage house has more of a 1940's appearance. Each of the rooms includes queen size beds and comfortable seating.

Sergio was a great host. The Artsy area around the block was our favorite. The shopping was unique and interesting. Would defiantly go back again when we are in the area. The food was simple but very good. The only disappointment was the water pressure in the shower. The sycamore heights is a beautiful old home.

We stayed three nights at Sycamore Heights, the first two days upon arriving in Houston, and our last day in Texas. Pat & Sergio are wonderful hosts, and the B&B is a lovely historic place. Our first night in Houston from cold Minnesota was spent sitting on their screened in porch, just enjoying the warmth and sounds coming from the courtyard fountain. Breakfasts were done elegantly and served in different rooms. We enjoyed our first 2 days so much that we made a reservation for our return to Houston before heading back to MN.

We had a wonderful stay. The innkeepers were very nice and the food was wonderful. The B&B's location to local shops was wonderful and the neighborhood was nice, quiet and peaceful. The room was very nice and we wanted to take the robes and mattress home with us. A wonderful overall stay.

The house, built in the 1900's, is located in a charming part of Houston that we had never been to before. It has a lot of charm, which it's creaky floor accentuates. We only stayed one night in the southeast room on the 2nd floor and found it to be clean and well kept. There was a television in the room andthe wireless connection certainly helped check emails without connecting to our wireless provider. Our hosts were kind and presented us with a small but delicious breakfast at 9am, a time we had agreed upon the night before. And they offered some good tips on what to see and visit in the neighborhood. But when reviewing the room while considering the "bang for your buck" I think that the current room rate is a bit high. But then again to stay at a hotel one would have to pay a little bit more to receive the same ameneties. But what is difficult to measure is the difference between the two. The hotel and this B&B. One has to drive out of the way to find this house tucked away in a neighborhood to find solid good service. It might just as well be profitable to stay at the hotel. So in conclusion, if you are looking for the experience of a B&B you have to pay for it and Sycamore Heights is a good first time B&B to get your feet wet.

This lovely old house is well maintained and beautifully, yet tactfully, decorated. The fresh cooked breakfast every morning was outstanding, the high point of my stay!

It was everything we hoped it would be. The house was beaautiful- decked out for the holidays. Sergio is terrific- wether it be in accomodating late arrivals or making rrecommendations for local destinations. Will definately stay there next time we go to Houston.

Our hosts, Pat and Sergio were very kind and friendly. The house is beautiful and vintage/antique shopping is just around the corner. We chose the carriage house for our stay so we could have more privacy. Nice, soft bed and clean room. If you got to Houston be sure and visit Teresa O'Connor at her shop Hello Lucky on Studewood. You will find lots of great art and handmade gifts.
