This is located in an older urban neighborhood. We wanted to be close to person we were visiting. We chose the "economy room", so it was nothing fancy, but clean with bed and bath. Very nice breakfast. Owner and staff very nice. Would stay again.

This place doesn't deserve the rating given. It deserves less!! It was deplorable. We saw NO WHERE in the info that it's a shared space for 1. The parking in the courtyard is tight to say the least. The grounds outside is terribly unkempt overgrown full of debris and looks like a storm ravaged the area months ago. Smelled of mildew and mold. Kitchen and stuff in cabinets were filthy along with dirty dishes in the sink and trash stacking up in trash cans. The terrace was rickety dry rotted and unsafe. The room was small. If the bed was supposed to be a queen it was on the small side more like a full. We were supposed to have a standard king. The bed looked like someone just rolled out of it pulling the sheets back. Something in the air of the room made us cough and sneeze. The bathroom was dirty. The vents cacked with dirt. Shoe prints of what looked to be a size 8 or 9 mens wide shoe printed all over the floor. It looked like the upstairs flooded. They did some quick patch word with products that didn't match with what was there and didn't know how to use apparently cuz it was all lopsided. Surprisingly the shower looked fairly clean. It would've been nice if the towels and bedding were as well. The final straw was the dead cockroach under the bathroom sink. Needless to say we never unloaded our gear to stay there. We tried to find anything nice to say about it. The shared common living area was cool looking for the most part. The owner accused us of being unappreciative

We did not stay at the property, there was one lock on the door which made us feel unsafe. The comforter on the bed had several stains on it. We were to share a common area with other people. It felt like a dorm room. It felt musty which was causing me to wheeze and my daughter to cough. The bathroom, though, was very clean.

Thanks for your feedback you were in our 4013 Hazard building. You said the building was musty we have looked into it and deep cleaned. The building door locked automatically whenever you close it and your room also has a lock. so is very secure. As a bed and breakfast we host other guests besides you which is what makes it fun. It sounds like you would have been happier in a private apartment. Hope you found an accommodation that suited you better.

The heart of Houston
We loved meeting people at the B&B and the breakfast was fantastic! I also loved being at the center of Houston which was within walking distance of museums and galleries. Our room was small and certainly adequate, but not exactly what I expected. There is no outside window, but a door with a glass pane provides outside light. Service is good. When we had problems with the internet (slow) and TV (confusing) someone came to help right away. Parking was off-street, but the parking shelter erected had obstacles stored there and we couldn't get the car completely in. It was a little hazardous to walk through that area in the night. I would stay here again, but would look at other rooms. Since most rooms are on higher floors, I also wouldn't pack a lot to keep from lugging suitcases up and down flights of stairs. The main reason I'd stay here is the breakfast and meeting interesting people.

Location is everything
The B&B is incredibly convenient to the Montrose neighborhood. We were in a very spacious room with one of the most comfy beds ever. Lots of stairs, so not recommended for anyone with stairs issues. Good parking on site. No issues with breakfast except for the last day when we were told to microwave the cold coffee in the urn. But I understand that the owners had a New Years' Party the night before, so it's whatever.

Thanks for the nice review. So so sorry about the suggestion to microwave the coffee we would always be willing to make a fresh pot. I am not sure who suggested that it may have been another guest It also may depend on what time you were getting coffee. As in the afternoon it might need microwaved. I love coffee so am always willing to fire up a new pot. Ha

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.

Not worth it
Maybe I misread the explanation, but I was expecting a charming B&B and I got a quasi hostel experience. The bathroom was tiny, the shower/bathtub is in the room, not inside the bathroom, so very little privacy if you’re not a couple. The fridge was super dirty and someone stole things I had left in there. The good thing about it: location!

We're sorry to hear about these issues you had at our B&B, we would've loved to help resolve the issue by changing your room during your stay if we had been aware it was not up to your standards. We are sorry you did not have a good experience with us but would have appreciated a chance to correct issues you had with your stay.

Guest booked for oct 8th but showed up at 1:44 am check in time is 2pm- 9pm. As guests who have booked for Sat 7th of oct are all still in room sleeping it is impossible to check a person in who shows up in the middle of the night to check in for the next day. Also we do not want to walk this guest through the building at that time disturbing other guests.

This is two townhomes put together and divided into various rooms. It is probably 40 years old and is lacking maintenance (deep cleaning, paint, vanity replacement). There is limited parking, we had to park on street. It is in a tough looking neighborhood and car alarms were going off at night. Our initial thought was to not check in; we should have listened to our gut. It was clean enough and breakfast was made to order, and pretty good. We only stayed one of our two nights and found another hotel. They refused to refund the second night.

A good place to stay a with a great location
When I arrived my room was not ready. Fortunately, a representative was there and I was transferred to another room on the third floor. I daily climbed 26 steps to my room, plus an additional 13 steps to the breakfast room. This was a good daily cardio workout. The breakfasts were superb. My room had not be used for awhile, so the shower floor needed a rinse off and the toilet seat holder was broken. The toilet would not completely flush. I reported this twice, but due to staff shortages, neither the flushing problem nor the toilet seat issue was addressed during my stay. The TV worked well and I was able to do the work for my class at the desk provided. The fan and air conditioning worked well. The bed was good and comfortable. There is a full kitchen on the second floor where I stored and reheated my take-out suppers.Everyone was friendly and I would stay there again.

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.

Cheap, shared/multi-use bath products; zero hand towels and washcloths in the room; duvet cover had fresh blood stain on it; smoke detector actually gone from it's bracket; multiple light bulbs burnt out in room and bathroom; missing floor tile in shower; warped/curled up floor tile in room; and yard growth so tall and thick it was very difficult to see oncoming traffic to pull out of driveway. The staff were very polite and friendly. The owner should be ashamed.

We were quite disappointed with our stay at Modern B&B. The room we had could best be described as feeling like a basement apartment although at ground level - dark and dreary. The sheets were old and threadbare with rips. The towels were gray and in the same condition as the sheets - awful. There was no hot water in the shower. The sink provided some - after letting water run for several minutes, which we found wasteful. Reviews on Expedia were misleading - at least for the room we received. It is for this experience that we cannot recommend this location for others staying in Houston. This place definitely needs some updating and basic maintenance.
