Sara's Inn on the Boulevard

I've stayed here three times in different rooms and always enjoy my stay! The walkable location is excellent, rooms are clean and quiet, and the house is lovely. I appreciate how affordable the price is and keep coming back because there aren't hidden fees or pricing fluctuations. Booking is simple and straightforward, I enjoy the privacy of my stay, and the neighborhood is beautiful. Lots of good places to walk and good restaurants within walking distance. Parking is easy and no extra charge. I always have an excellent experience and will always stay here when I'm in Houston!

This place is a room. Just a room. The decor is cheap, inconsistent, and slightly tacky. I mean, the picture frames in the room were empty with a very obvious “5x7” in the center. The shower handle is labelled with a handheld label printer. They left an envelope on the table asking for a tip just because the room is clean. You know? Like you’d expect at a hotel? It’s cliche to say, but a tip is supposed to be for exemplary service, not for just doing your job. But on that note, it’d be easier to tip employees you can actually see. I encountered only two employees for a combined total of less than 17sec during a three day/two night stay. Neither greeted us initially, which is odd for someone demanding tips, especially when the second encounter involved being ignore completely until I said something. There’s no separation between the hotel and the event section. This meant I had a visitor to a bridal shower try to open my room door with almost unfortunate timing. Thank goodness I had locked it. It also meant that the ridiculously loud baby shower later that day resulted in the entire parking lot being blocked in by a catering van. I appreciate the room and location, but the hotel itself and the staff are a mess. Not by appearance, but purely by function. The room got three stars because my girlfriend thought it looked cute despite how small it is.

I stayed at Sara's Inn one night while in Houston for business. Absolutely wonderful! Great location, excellent communication, easy check-in. The house and room were clean and beautiful and the bed was very comfortable! I will definitely return here for a city vacation soon - very convenieatent to great restaurants and shops!

Hidden gem.. I'll be choosing this BNB over the chain hotels every chance I get! I travel to Houston twice a year for work, and this time I found Sara's Inn after the usual chain hotel wanted double the normal price. I'm so glad it did! I stayed in the Rooftop Suite and bragged to everyone that I had this large patio all to myself! I dragged my boss there just to give her a tour. It's so quiet, and all the spaces are beautiful and comfortable.

Sara’s Inn is a beautiful old Victorian Inn (which we originally thought was a B&B based on previous reviews.) They don’t offer breakfast. The location is great, the whole inn and the rooms are clean, but you can tell that the entire place needs a little TLC. Our bathroom probably hadn’t been painted in years and desperately needed a fresh coat, the gorgeous wood floors and wooden stairways need to be polished and re-sealed, and the front porch area needs a refresh. That being said, it really is a gorgeous property in an extremely convenient location and a beautiful neighborhood. With a little love from the owners and maybe returning to a B&B format, this could be the premier place to stay in Houston!
