“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.”

Very good
A beautiful building in the quiet university area. The hotel had free water and coffee all day. It is not close to the centre of Detroit but the centre is easily accessible by public transport. Breakfast was good but not very varied.
We had 2 really nice rooms with a balcony. I found it difficult to sleep as the garden lights were on all night and the blinds didn't darken the room sufficiently.

Solid location and value.
Location was close enough to what we needed but far enough from the noise of downtown. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
No elevator.

We love these beautiful houses and the location is perfect! Breakfast is fabulous and the staff is outstanding!!
Could use a few updates, even though they are historical.

Love my visit. If I can, I will be back.
Loved my room, breakfast was very good and appreciated. The living room was pleasant.
My son and his fiancée had an adjoining room which was great because I needed help with my luggage.
Location was convenient as I was involved in a WSU campus event.
Didn't realize until the next morning, there was a space heater in the room. The a/c/heat were inoperable and the temperature in my room got down to 68 degrees which was colder than I liked. My son adjusted the heater and the next nights were much more comfortable.

Love my visit. If I can, I will be back.
The morning breakfast was appreciated and very complete. The staff was so friendly.
Check in was well handled.
My son and his fiancée had an adjoining room.
If I had been alone, I would have requested a room on the first floor as I have difficulty with steps. Also, I don't know if there was an option for handrails in the shower/bathtub but probably should have inquired.
Also, I wouldn't recommend the Cafe, which I believe is a separate entity, as it felt very unfriendly with a limited menu for breakfast. We had wanted to try the Cafe one morning during our visit- mistake.

We were in town for family visit & a show at The Fisher. Great location for both and so fun to stay in these histor
beautiful old homes, lighted on-site parking for a small fee, comfortable bed, great breakfast with a generous timeframe. super friendly & helpful staff, overall a very clean room and breakfast area.
Overall very clean but a couple major cobwebs in the corner of our bedroom and in the bathroom. The ceilings are very high, but it would be better to not have cobwebs! Also, the first night was very calm & quiet but the second night someone ran up & down the stairs, slammed doors, and were up all hours walking around above us. Then decided to play the piano in the main room at a little after 9am on a Sunday. Not really a major issue or anything the property could have done, but it wrecked our visit a little

more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel, good breakfast, great location.
I could have use some coffee or tea in our building after hours, early morning. everything was at the main building.

Wonderful and we will be back again!
Beautifully restored properties. There are 4 houses operated by this inn and each one has its own character and charm. The complementary breakfast is in the Scott House and is very nice. They are still in the process of completing some updates but the rooms are quite comfortable presently. Beds and pillows are great.
Still can use some TLC but coming along nicely.
