The Modern offers what it promises, an architect's experiment in modernism in the midst of the Montrose area surrounded by great art museums and restaurants. The property is intriguing, fitting awkwardly into an old residential neighborhood in a tear-down frenzy but imaginatively laid out. The wacky design offers a 2nd story lobby and an elevator accessed through the owner's office and living space off a narrow outside corridor with no lighting. The staff was accommodating and friendly and the breakfast superb. The cleaning staff needs some coaching. We'd come back.

My husband and I visited the Modern B&N for a wedding reception and stayed overnight. The space was great, the decor was really interesting and it was great for the event. We had a sweet room, with chic decor, and the configuration of the bathroom indicated a smart use of a difficult space. One proviso is that it wasn't very private- we could hear the guests downstairs (inside and outside) after we went to bed and the curtains were a little flimsy so it got light in the room fairly early. But I don't think it's every day that there's a reception downstairs.

We met some really interesting people at breakfast- a couple from Paris and a geologist from Surrey, so the conversation was great! The food was also delicious- two homemade granolas with every fruit under the sun, pancakes, made-to-order eggs, yoghurt, and pastries as well as a delicious strawberry smoothie and plentiful coffee. I'd go back just for the breakfast!

There are lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance, so all in all, a sweet and interesting stay in a town where you could easily accidentally end up somewhere fairly run-of-the-mill.

Thank for your review. we greatly appreciate feedback.
We do provide shampoo, liquid hand soap,body wash& conditioner but, it is true we usually do not provide bar soap. You can ask for bar soap and we provide upon request. We are double checking each room today to be sure none of the listed items are missing from the rooms. The Modern BB does have lots of stairs but, we do have 2 rooms with elevator access. The Cayman Chickadee suite and the Treehouse Also we have 3 ground floor rooms with in suite bath but, you would have to go up stairs for breakfast. Or we can assist with elevator access to breakfast. We have 5 kitchens each kitchen has a coffee pot in it for guest use. Breakfast is served from 7-10 and we serve copious amounts of coffee at breakfast. I am glad you found the staff friendly and the location convenient.

Thanks again for the thoughtful review.

Bottle of wine and nuts waiting for us on arrival. Lovely modern building with a living room guests can use, so we invited a friend for beer and pizza. Everything well set up for the 2 small children we had with us. Delicious breakfast. Bedrooms very pleasant and very nice decor all round. Owner very welcoming. Need to make sure you get hold of her in plenty of time on the phone if you are going to arrive quite late or you might have trouble getting in.

Here at the Modern we take into consideration that most of our guest just want to get to a place where they can feel at home and always welcome. This is why we take a little of our time to put out wine and snacks, so that our guest know they can relax in their ' Home away from home'. We are glad you enjoyed your stay.

I have stayed at Modern B&B three times! I have loved it every time, great breakfast, beautiful rooms, and they provide shampoo, conditioner and lotion, which is always a plus for me. Although, if you don't want to be bothered by people getting up for breakfast, request a room not in the main building. I like being in the main building because I don't have to put shoes on to eat breakfast.

Keep up the good work guys!
