Interesting period property with lovely staff, but quite isolated location and there was a late night party in one of the other rooms. Close to the art gallery but far out of the city, although there is a free streetcar from right outside.

Like staying with friends- who know how to host!

For my activities- the perfect location. Low key vibe and a great value for a spacious and comfortable room. Breakfast service is nice too and the staff are all helpful and friendly.

Staff stole my food and lied about it. It was clean and neat, but the staff was rude and stole a food delivery and failed to admit about it. Would not stay again because of that reason. Also, we’re over, eager on trying to get tips, which makes me not want to tip!

I booked for one night only and woke up to no running water. TVs are very small with no smart TV options. The view of the Bedroom TV blocked by the doors of the dresser that it’s in. It also seats very low that you can’t view while laying in the high bed.

Lovely and truly unique

We went for a staycation for my daughter’s birthday. The staff was amazing and went above and beyond. It is a vintage space so no place for chargers per se and in winter it’s a bit cold - but they have plenty of outlets and additional heaters and the staff goes above and beyond throughout the entire stay. We loved it!

Outstanding in every way!

The Inn on Ferry St. was absolutely amazing! From the newly remodeled bathroom, the gorgeous view from the many windows out to the quiet and lovely neighborhood, to the super friendly and helpful staff we could not have asked for a more wonderful place to spend the past four nights. Located just off major roads near the Detroit Institute of the Arts it was convenient for the many locations we visited during our stay in Detroit. We will definitely be staying at The Inn on Ferry Street for any future visits to the area!

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.
