This is an awesome property. My wife and I grabbed a room to see a Tigers game and spend some time in Detroit and this place proved to be a solid call. Beautiful old Victorian home and it’s comfortable, clean and the staff is excellent. Easy parking and pretty good breakfast too.

We Had a very late flight arrived at two in the morning, I texted and emailed the hotel days ahead of time and no one was there to answer the door and when we called, no one picked up the phone. Here we are in the middle of the night outside with all of our luggage. Never again.

We choose The Inn on Ferry Street because it is so close to the Detroit Institute of Arts. We loved the charm of the old mansions, but, unfortunately, our room was not very comfortable. While it was super hot outside, our room was 63 degrees and we couldn't change it. There is only one chair (not great for hanging out although the lobbies are comfy), our hair dryer was missing, and the tiny sink with no shelf space for toiletries was not convenient. The breakfast was very minimal and disappointing. It would be relatively easy to add a few elements such as yogurt or granola. There was also no jam on our first day.

This was a cute place to stay. A little run down due to the age of the place but we had a very comfortable bed, the record player made for such a nostalgic and fun night, and we felt safe walking around the area late at night. There's no fridge so nowhere for a leftover slice or bottle water. I wouldn't rely on breakfast... mostly just a bunch of bread, instant oatmeal, or cold cereal. We couldn't even get an ice water in the morning. Overall, still liked staying there.

Super cute place with convenient access to the QLine. Rooms were cozy and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Gave us great advice on navigating the QLine and offered up suggestions on things to do in the area. The breakfast is great for a quick bite and coffee to go. Will definitely be back should we be in Detroit again.

This property should not even be considered. I had covid and cancelled asking for a refund in a reasonable time and they would not consider any reimbursement. I am so disappointed with such heartless people!! We went through Expedia and they said they reached out to the property who refused to provide any reimbursement. I would never ever recommend this property!! 249.00 for nothing!! never recommend heartless. I was very ill.

The staff were all very helpful. When we checked in she walked us to our room since the facility is unique and not a typical hotel layout. When I asked about mailing a letter the next morning another staff member walked outside to see if the mail carrier was still nearby and then gave me clear directions and alternatives.

Beautiful historic room. Quiet room. Comfortable bed. Shower had good water. Located right across the street from Wayne State University. Coffee machine and water cooler in lobby. Very pleased with our stay. Very minor disappointment: no fridge in room or ice machine. Caution: if you cannot climb stairs and carry your own luggage, this is not the hotel for you.
