    This is the drain in the bathroom sink with a previous guest's hair in it.

    We chose this B&B based on the excellent reviews we read. We got the complete opposite of what others received. We booked a certain apartment for the privacy. As we were driving to check in to the room, I called the owner. Only then did she tell me there was a plumbing problem with the apartment and we couldn't have the one we booked. We chose another apartment. When we got to the B&B to check in, the owner had disappeared and we talked to some other lady who took us to the apartment. We entered the apartment, and it was 84 degrees inside. We also got only one key to the gate outside the apartment that automatically locked behind the guests, and there were two of us. Unfortunately the key didn't work well and took a lot of work to unlock. One time, we got locked out in the rain and stood outside, fruitlessly trying to get it to work for ten minutes. At first, it looked fine, however, we soon discovered it was missing supplies and it was dirty. We were able to quickly retrieve the toilet paper and soap, but when we tried to complain about the condition of the room, we received no response for about 12 hours, since the second lady we talked with to was off the next day and we had no information as to who to speak with for any issues. Not only that, at the breakfast that was supposed to be included, we were told we would have certain breakfast items that were actually not included as promised, so we ended up having to pay for breakfast on our own as well. Ultimately we talked to yet another lady who offered to let us change rooms. We did not want to do that, since we were only staying two nights. We agreed upon a partial refund. I'm glad we only stayed two nights!

    Overall this is a beautiful, relaxed space with a funky vibe. As opposed to a more formal setting, it feels like you are staying at a friend's very cool house. I will be visiting again. I stayed in the Treehouse room on the 4th floor for one night. Pros: -The room is serene and secluded, the only one on that floor. The king-sized bed is a dream and the huge bathroom with jacuzzi tub and shower are made for relaxation and renewal. -French doors opening up to a large, tree-shaded balcony and also a stoop with a winding staircase down on the other side of the room. -I stayed solo, just looking to get away for a night, but this would be a romantic love nest for a couple. -The decor in the room is minimalist, giving a Zen feeling to the space. -Do you need a giant, and by giant I mean room-sized walk-in closet? This is the one for you. -The common areas are comfortable and inviting, and the structure of the building, with rooms scattered about, almost in cubbies (though much larger of course), allow for a lot of privacy if you're not into socializing. -The breakfast was good, nothing mind-blowing but what you might expect from a continental breakfast with the option of an omelette. -Location! In the heart of the Montrose area and close to The Menil and Rothko Chapel , the Contemporary Arts Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Lawndale Art Center, and much more. -Off-street parking -Lisa was kind enough to accommodate me for a last-minute booking. Cons -This is a big one - nothing about this place is ADA compliant. This is not a place for those in wheelchairs or who otherwise have mobility issues. My room was on the 4th floor, and I walked up 4 flights of stairs to get there - no elevator. Even the lobby is up a flight of stairs on the 2nd floor. This was not an issue for me personally, but I did notice this deficiency. -Little things, like cups and water, would be a nice touch in the bedroom. Update the appliances; a smart TV and USB ports would bring it up to speed. -Breakfast is meh - perhaps make a few local favorites, at least on weekends, for those coming in from out of town. Instead of having guests go to the kitchen to get water from the fridge door, offer water or at least put it in a carafe in the table with the other juices and milk. Also, and this is nit-picky, but the napkins look like they were just crumpled on the plate - iron the napkins or something. It affects the ambiance of the breakfast experience. -LOVE the balcony, but I thought it was private as only my room and a door at the top of the stairs that only lead to my room entered onto it, but I was startled when another boarder appeared on the balcony. I was assuming it was private, based on the set-up, but making it clear whether it is or not would be helpful. Also. Better patio furniture - one chair was broken, and both weren't particularly comfortable. -Hot water- I really needed to take 2 therapeutic baths due to a back injury, and neither at night nor in the morning was there enough hot water to take a really hot bath. Perhaps a water heater just for that room? Just a thought.

    I had a really great experience at the Modern B&B. Lisa, the person who takes care of absolutely everything was very helpful and considerate. They even took my call at 1:00am when I was trying to find the place due to coming in on a very late flight. They did everything to make the experience really pleasant. Guests tended to sit around in the evenings and socialize over some really nice wines provided by Lisa, which was right up my alley! Not to mention the architecture - very cool - and I was upgraded to a terrific room at no additional charge. Do yourself a favor, drive 10 minutes out of downtown Houston and treat yourself to this B&B! Oh, I ended up there because the Hilton was full due to a conference. Lucky me!

    Not getting any closer to this, but one of the many roaches we saw this night in the mod 3 room

I chose for us to stay at this beautiful black- and women-owned establishment after I read about it on Travel Noire, and I don't plan to stay anywhere else on future trips to Houston. The rooms are immaculate. We had a beautiful suite with a private wrap-around balcony with two bathrooms, a parlor, and a large bedroom. The ceiling are high and the rooms are large, and this cannot be replicated by a hotel. I was surprised how quiet it is in the area overnight and in the early morning, given the midtown location. The breakfast was wonderful, delicious, and made based on our dietary preferences. We felt heard and understood. We have no negative words for this gorgeous place and the beautiful people who run it. We felt safe in the private parking lot behind us. There are cameras that are monitored outside. There is security code access to enter the building during your stay obtained when you check in. I, during our stay and given my Francophilia,, called it "The House," because we had all of the amenities of home here and given the original French meaning of the name of the spot. Thank you. Bravo!

She was very helpful with a slightly early check in when we had an event to get to in the city and also helping us with check out to figure out how we could see the city and return for our things at the hotel since we had a late flight. La Maison is in a great location in Midtown - although I know public transport is not big in Houston, it's not far from the redline stop (maybe a ten minute walk) and we took average of this to go to the museum area and downtown. La Maison has great facilities with a spacious living and dining room, and even an elevator! (Not common in most bnbs and a welcome surprise during check in). The freshly cooked breakfast was exceptional - our appreciation to the chef!

While I understand mistakes happen, what was completely unacceptable was the way the situation was handled afterward. When I called the front desk for help, I was met with rudeness, attitude, and skepticism, as though I was making the situation up. The front desk manager was dismissive and unhelpful, despite the fact that I even offered to personally look through the dirty linens to find my clothing. Two days later, the hotel finally called to say they had found my shirt, only to then ask me to pay for the shipping label to have it returned. No apology. No accountability. No acknowledgment that I was left scrambling and forced to borrow clothes from others in order to attend my event because of their mistake. To make matters worse, the concierge kindly assured me that his manager, Daisy Lopez, would be reaching out to address the situation. Despite following up twice, I never heard another word from the hotel. The issue was never the mistake itself, accidents happen. The issue was the complete lack of professionalism, empathy, accountability, and customer care afterward. For a hotel that prides itself on luxury and reputation, this experience was an absolute disappointment.
