Charming place with tons of character. Not great for more than a night. The bed was the creakiest thing I have ever slept on—seriously rolling over probably woke the whole hotel—making it uncomfortable. Location was great to access the free Q line.

The Inn on Ferry is a quaint place located midtown Detroit. Excellent welcoming and service while we stayed. The building we stayed in (grey stone) is beginning to show some wear on the inside. Carpets would be a good thing to replace and fixtures (e.g reading light shades) need a little more modernizing. We would stay again without hesitation as it was quiet and still very clean.
