Philip’s experience at The Inn on Ferry Street
I had a short stay to attend my friend’s funeral. The hotel location is ideal for my interest as it’s located within walking distance one to blocks from Detroit’s Art Museum, Historical Museum and Science Museum. If my stay included one more day I would have visited all 3 however only had time for the Art Museum due to my schedule. I ate at one of the best restaurants in Detroit located less than a block away, Chartreuse Kitchen and Cocktail which was excellent and very affordable considering its level of cuisine. Also since The Inn on Ferry Street is located at the campus of Wayne State University the environment appears very safe for walking near the hotel at night. My only complaint involves my bedroom and sitting room carpet which didn’t appear clean and had several stains. My stay would have been nicer if the carpet had been cleaner or my I suggest replaced with hardwood or some non-carpet flooring which I have found easier and less expensive to maintain in rental property. That would also address those of us with carpet dust allergies. That aside I enjoyed my stay at The Inn on Ferry Street.

Perfect Quiet Romantic Getaway for 2
Absolutely adorable place to stay as a couple. Hubby and I drove into the city to see TSO in concert and didn’t want to drive home. This hotel is super adorable and love the original home pieces left. We will be back and hope to stay in another house/room so we can explore more.

Older Beautiful House With Great Service.
I think the best thing beside being in a gorgeous older building was the staff. Starting with the third shift guy, kitchen worker and Cameron who greeted us with a smile. He constantly asked we needed anything.
Also, I had a great conversation with a couple from Madison, Wisconsin.

Needs a clean update, the carpet was so old & hadn’t been vacuumed as there was ash on carpet. The electrical outlets were so old they would hold our phone plugs.

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.
