Modern B&B boasts the knowledge of its owner who has lived in the Houston area for 21 years and can recommend where to eat and where to play along with a great deal of other local information.

Located in the middle of Houston, Modern B&B is in walking distance to many cultural spots.

With the average room at $165 a night, this is the perfect romantic getaway for couples.

Reviews: Modern B&B receives high reviews from trip advisor.com. 89% of the 20 reviewers highly approved and recommended Modern B&B. Other sites such as hotels.com and expedia.com had little to no reviews available. The highest reviews were from couples and those traveling solo.

The most praise involved the friendliness and knowledgibility of the hostess, along with the vastness of the communal breakfast offered. Reviewers love the homey feeling of Modern B&B as well as the social aspects to mingle with the other guests. Most reviewers claim they won’t stay anywhere else when staying in Houston. Positive comments were left in regards to the close proximity to museums and other cultural experiences. Complaints focus on a few items that are subjective as to the person staying there. One repetitive complaint was the lack of adequate housekeeping. Things such as needing new towels or the sheets changed were specific concerns. A particular guest had booking problems with the owner and was not happy with the way things were handled. Several other guests were upset that there was no help with baggage. Hotels provide this service but Bed and Breakfasts guidelines depend solely on each individual business. These were limited complaints by one or two out of twenty.
