The Inn on Ferry Street

Under renovation but still wonderful.

Very charming, quaint lodgings with a lot of history and character. Loved the room and the area

Lots of renovation and upgrading work going on, so be prepared for some areas needing a bit of TLC, but the quality and potential is obvious. It’s a great project. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Charming space in quiet historic neighborhood. Close to free light rail to 5ake you downtown. Carpet old and a bit spotty. No elevators for 3 story buildings.

It was beautiful they even had a record player with records to use in the main area of the place. I would definitely recommend this property

Staying at The Inn on Ferry Street was a unique experience with wonderful historic charm. The beautifully restored Victorian homes and carriage houses give the property a lot of character. The location in Midtown Detroit is absolutely perfect—it is within easy walking distance to both the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, and it is only a 15-minute walk to the Detroit Amtrak station, making transit very easy. However, there are a few important things future guests should know: No Elevators: Because these are historic Victorian homes, there are no elevators. Be prepared to carry your luggage up the stairs if your room is on an upper floor. No On-Site Breakfast: The hotel does not offer a daily breakfast option anymore. Thankfully, the fantastic breakfast/lunch Babo is just a 2-minute walk away on Kirby Street and is the best breakfast spot!!! Major Security Concern (Room Keys): My biggest concern during the stay was that our room key was able to unlock other guest rooms. I accidentally opened another door twice. It seems like the hotel might be using the same key template for multiple rooms, which is a very serious safety and privacy issue that management needs to address immediately. Overall, it is a lovely location with great historic appeal, but the lack of basic room security is highly concerning.

The place is a historical building with a lot of old world charm! The room was comfortable a bit dated with a clean bathroom. They are renovating 2 of the other two houses with future plans to fully renovated

Unique property, very comfortable, fantastic location

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Short walk to museums and good food. Great spot.

Well maintained historical establishments. Close to many places, out of way from traffic. Good location.

Our room was spacious and well maintained, with the exception of the carpet, which I believe is in the process of being replaced. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless (with a very large tub!) The sheets were crisp and the pillows fluffy. There is no longer food service because they are in the process of replacing it with a restaurant, but there were nice places to eat around the corner.

Not clean or kept up. Cobb webs on ceiling and curtains. Stains on old carpet and bathroom wall. We were unable to control the air conditioning because there was a lock box on it. We were told there would be light snacks and fruit in the morning and there was none. Very disappointed!

This was my fourth time at this property. Will not be my last.

Loved the front porch

It was an amazing stay enjoy the scenery and it was very comfortable

Fabulous house, sets you back in time, what a great experience.

Con: Carpet in our room was worn out. I am sure it is cleaned but felt dirty. The furniture in our room was not in a good shape. I felt my head was lower than my feet because the bed was not straight anymore. NO coffee machine in the room. Tv remote for a tiny tv was sticky.

The house we stayed at was gorgeous, spacious , with good parking and excellent location near the museums and restaurant. Very historic.

Beautiful , elegant and peaceful. The staff are very friendly and helpful too!

Great location. Easy parking. Charming but light on the amenities. Wasn’t even a drinking glass in the room. I would stay again.
