  • "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 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."– Erin B.

  • Best place in the city

    "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!"- Tina L.
