Expert reviews
“Forty guest rooms fill a row of Victorian mansions right by the art museum. The lower-cost rooms at The Inn on Ferry Street are small but have deliciously soft bedding; the larger rooms feature plenty of antique wood furnishings.”

Great location
Location to DIA (Detroit Institute Art) was within walking distance. We didn't know there was a free Q-line to down town that we would have used if we knew about it.

Beautiful B&B conveniently located close to the Detroit Institute of Art, and Downtown Detroit
Room was spacious, elegant, and clean. Bed was very comfortable with an ample amount of pillows. There was a good selection at breakfast, which was Continental, including fresh fruit and a variety of beverages. Highly recommend a stay here. Will definitely be returning!!
Had some difficulty getting the conditioner out of the complimentary bottle. Would recommend adding an additional chair, or a loveseat to the sitting area for the room we stayed in. There was only one comfy chair. Minor inconveniences. Other than that it was a fantastic stay.

Lovely quiet spot for a Detroit visit
The location was perfect for visiting the Detroit Art Institute. The room was comfortable. The house was quiet and very nice for relaxing between activities.
The bathroom towels were small and one was very old.

Exceptional
The room was beautiful with the big windows and the bed was very comfortable. I’m pretty tall so I was so excited about how big the tub was. The parlor was beautiful aswell and the service was great.

Continental breakfast with cereal and fruit in the peaceful living room suited me perfectly. Location in a salubrious corner just north of the downtown area and a stones throw from the Institute of Art is unbeatable in Detroit.

Great Hotel, Great Location!
The buildings themselves are stunning and a sight to see, number one. The location is wonderful and within walking distance to a lot of restaurants and museums in Midtown. Everyone that worked there was so friendly and definitely helped make our experience memorable. Parking is easy and off the street. The beds and pillows are SO comfortable. Breakfast was decent, pretty average continental breakfast. Free coffee!
Price is high, but pretty standard for Detroit it seems. Nothing actually to complain about though :)

Most stellar excellence!
This place is SPECTACULAR! IT'S GORGEOUS! We had a hockey game to see on NYE. It was the closest place to book. These ARE GORGEOUS, VICTORIAN, MINI, MANSIONS! 1879 restorated fire places and staircase to DIE FOR! SPECTACULAR ARCHITECTURE!!! When you finally are done takeing in how stunning these homes are: the bed is so comfortable. I'm telling you, I'm a snob. I don't do the "economy in". 5 star is sometimes not good enough. These beds are all of the comfort I've ever needed in my life. Pillows and bedding 10/10. Couldn't ask for better. Staff were awesome. This place exceeded excellence in my book.
I couldn't even dream of a negative even if I tried. Our room ended up being haunted, it was AWESOME.

Interesting location in historic cultural center with great staff
Staff and architecture of old Detroit homes were fantastic. Breakfast was very good and generous.
Some of the decor was heavy, rug needed a steam clean

Terrific residential style hotel.
A lovely residential-type hotel (an old restored mansion) in a good downtown location, near the art centre. Good (paid) parking. Terrific buffet breakfast.
Not many restaurants are within walking distance, but not too far away(free trolly).

Detroit - A beautiful experience !
A special location, very beautiful and quiet. It is very close to the city center and very easy acces from highway. The rooms were clean, everything needed was prepared and the bed mattress was of good quality.
We didn't like the breakfast, although the recommendation said it was fabulous. The bread was a little old and the food offer limited. Maybe the price is a little high, but the location makes up for it.
