""Tidy", "spacious" quarters -- some with kitchenettes -- are done up in "retro-modern" style at this Downtown boutique staffed by an "efficient" crew."

"It's great for those who like modern architecture (exposed beams, airy spaces). It's also good for those who like baked goods, espresso coffee, and an honor bar." Full review

"With romance packages and chef-cooked organic breakfasts to meet individual dietary needs, the four-story Modern B&B lives up to its name, offering sleek, hip style."
Lonely Planet Lonely Planet
"This mod, solar-powered, 11-room inn is rife with airy decks, spiral staircases and sunlight. Think organic mattresses, in-room Jacuzzi tubs, private decks and iPod docking stations." Full review
