Beautiful spot in the center of all the museums and on a lovely walkable street near dining options. I thought the parking was very reasonable, staff was helpful, and we enjoyed ourselves.

This location exceeded our expectations. What a beautiful concept.
Chad, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great staff. Loads of character and charm. Great breakfast. Hidden gem just off QLINE that will take you for free downtown in a couple minutes.
Katherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I'm happy I found this hidden Gem. It was a safe and peaceful stay. Just what I needed. From the staff and the Continental breakfast. Was great! Will definitely be back!
Melodie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely historic homes. Beautiful neighborhood but also very convenient (one short block) to the Q line and access to lots of Detroit sights, dining and sports venues. The room was perfect, the staff warmly welcoming and the breakfast was delicious, fresh and gracious. Even my 11 year-old traveling companion said, “If we come back to Detroit, we HAVE to stay here again!” It wasn’t just a place to stay, The Inn was part of our Detroit experience.
Claudia, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The Inn on Ferry Street was a convenient, historical place to stay. The breakfast every morning was great, with the staff being very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, but the stains on the carpet floor and poor air conditioning on the top floor made it dissappointing. Loved the character of the historical buildings.
Linda, 4-night trip

Love the historical character of the inn. The staff is friendly and helpful. Great location.

Jonah, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

rooms are very loud and the fact that there are mutiple buildings to check in and then check out in is time consuming
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location near WSU and museums; staff ware very helpful, especially Arielle, the wifi wiz.
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was fantastic, almost a dream come true. We wish we could’ve stayed forever.
JOHN, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

After being on the road and out and about all day, settling in to the comfortable, clean bed was needed. The property actually consists of 3 buildings so leave the luggage in the car until after checking in. There may have been notice but there's no elevator so keep that in mind with luggage too. Quaint property within walking distance from DIA, Charles Wright, and Science Ctr. Not too far from the Q line either, if you dont want to drive downtown.
Nichole, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely old homes and welcoming staff
Sarah, 1-night trip

Robert, 1-night trip

It is a very peaceful area very close to a Q-line stop, making it easy to get downtown. The room was extremely clean.
Celeste, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The a/c was not working in our room and it was 81 degrees inside. Very hot and uncomfortable. I had to sleep downstairs in the lobby for a bit to cool off.
