Inn on Ferry Street

The buildings are stunning historical landmarks that have been meticulously restored; the service is highly attentive and gracious; the rates are below the downtown hotels (and this place is MUCH nicer, and in the wonderful Midtown area with lively bars and other attractions). The rooms are great -- with non-standard furniture, spacious, quiet. Fab breakfasts too. And there is a free shuttle service to take you where you want to go. An amazing place to stay.

We visited our 2 sons in Detroit for the weekend and stayed at The Inn on Ferry Street. It was a lovely B & B atmosphere. The historic houses are re-done very tastefully (and not OVERDONE) and the 24 hr. concierge was friendly and professional. The Inn also offered free shuttle service anywhere w/i a 5 mile radius, which seemed exceedingly generous even though we had a rental car and didn't use it. We did some walking in the area through Wayne State Univ. but Detroit is a car city and we didn't see many folks on the sidewalks. Complimentary breakfast was superb each morning, and we could pay $10/head to allow our sons to join us for breakfast. We had a delightful stay and plan to stay at the Inn again when we return to Detroit.

This quaint historical B&B is a hidden jewel in the cityof Detroit. Furnished with ecclectic & unique antiques,lending the atmosphere it's authentic histoical charm. The grounds of the Inn are immaculentlly kept. I would definately reccomend staying here everytime I'm in Detroit. Free parking as well.

Very nice rooms in historic mansions adjacent to Wayne State U. and Detroit Institute of Arts. Free shuttle service is a wonderful convenience.

We loved staying at The Inn on Ferry Street! The houses were gorgeous, and decorated so nicely for Christmas. The location in mid-town was perfect. We felt safe walking in the neighborhood, and we were very close to many wonderful museums. Take advantage of the free van ride within 5 miles of the hotel. No worries about parking that way, or getting lost in an unfamiliar city. The staff were all courteous and extremely helpful. Breakfasts were delicious and Starbucks coffee was available 24/7 without charge. Bath not large.

This inn felt like home. The staff was friendly out going and took care of all our needs. Shuttle service was great it almost was like taking a tour bus as they explained the different areas of Midtown detroit. Breakfast was also very good home cooked eggs ect. Great value.

We went to Detroit to attend a surprise 75th birthday party for my Aunt Beverly. The party was held at Mario's, a very popular Italian restaurant near downtown. The Inn on Ferry Street was closest to the restaurant, centrally located, easy to find from the airport. They even offered to drive us to the party and pick us up! A very nice B&B experience.

Beautiful, well-cared-for rooms; friendly knowledgeable staff; within walking distance of Wayne State University, Detroit Art Institute, Detroit Main Public Library, and at least one great restaurant, short drive from Tiger Stadium, Greektown, several casinos, City Hall, Renaissance Plaza, etc. Excellent breakfast included in room charge. All this place needs is a bar for nightly gatherings of occupants.

I enjoyed this hotel/inn. It is a refreshing change to the usual business hotels. From its location, the room's appointments with available wi-fi, the buffet breakfast and small business center, I had an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Minor complaints: make a path from the front of Owen to the parking lot, and clean the walls in my bathroom.

The free breakfast was good, and the free paper at the door is a nice touch in the morning. Overall clean place and had everything we needed. The location is pretty good, right next door to Wayne university, the arts institute, science centre and a few museums which provide for things to do during the day without venturing too far into some shady areas. Close enough to downtown and shuttle service is convenient. As long as you're not walking around too late at night, I felt safe in the area, and didn't even hear a single gunshot! If you're looking for a hotel that's a bit more interesting than your typical big name, fancy hotel chain, then you won't be disappointed. If you're just looking to party, then you'll feel out of place for sure here, after all it is a bed and breakfast.
