Let me start by saying that this is a beautiful historic property in a lovely, safe neighborhood with a great free shuttle to get around. If you're looking to experience the history of Detroit, stay here. However, if you're thinking about booking this property for a large group, read on.
We booked 2 houses here for our wedding, and we could not have been more disappointed with the process start to finish. We loved the idea of sharing houses with friends, and this seemed like a great option - we also live only about a mile away, so we didn't need a hotel for our wedding, but this

On arrival I was blown away - the Inn is located within a row of historic homes. You check in at the central house, where they have check-in and you go for breakfasts in the mornings. They'll then direct you to a room in one of the homes in the row, which are all stunning. Card keys to get access to the house, and then old keys to get access to the room itself. Rooms were spacious and gorgeous, with chocolate chip cookies waiting for us in the room next to some bottled water. Pretty perfect. Bed was large and super comfortable, and the sleep quality was good. If I had to complain, I'd

My husband and I went here for our anniversary. It's the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in in our in entire lives. We would describe this hotel as extremely classy. The receptionist was phenomenal. Breakfast was exquisite. Our room was quiet, comfortable, and impeccable. We would definitely come back. There is nothing I would add or take away from this fantastic experience.It was a dream come true.

Stayed at the Inn on Ferry Street on Saturday, July 13th. Love that they have a shuttle to take you to/from downtown destinations. We had reserved a king bed in the Scott House and the room was quite large - much larger than a typical hotel room and very clean. The room was a little stuffy (but it was 90+ degrees), so it was nice that they supplied a fan. They also supplied water and cookies, which was a nice touch. We also loved that they have private parking behind the building, off the street. Breakfast the next day had everything - eggs, French toast, pastries, fruit, juice and coffee. The

Terrific location - very close to the Detroit Institute for the Arts (which is a must-see if you stay here). Beautiful houses converted to hotel rooms, all with their own bath. The breakfast options were plentiful - and slightly different each day, so there's variety along with all the standards. We didn't happen to need to use their shuttle service, but it's a great amenity. Friendly people working in the main house, and our room in the Roehm House was quiet and comfy. This place was just what we were looking for.

The Inn on Ferry Street is so charming! The Victorian homes are beautiful restored and maintained. When I was looking on pictures online, I was worried that it'd be musty or antiquated, but it wasn't at all.
The room was clean and I felt like it was just the right size. It was a nice touch to have boxed water and Avalon cookies waiting. Although our room went right out to the "living room," it was surprisingly quiet.
The included breakfast is also great! Good options - even for GF, vegetarians.
I also appreciated the location; it wasn't too far from all the hot spots

I love this place. I usually plan weekend family getaways and always book the Inn. From free shuttle service, to well appointed, clean rooms that have been tastefully decorated and restored, with a fantastic breakfast brunch every morning in the Main House. How can you go wrong? I'll take the old school charm all day everyday over the higher priced casino options. If your planning a stay in Motown, take a look at the Inn and be pleasantly surprised.

When we walked into our beautiful room, it was 75 degrees. We called maintenance, who pressed buttons on the thermostat (as I already had) and said wait five and call again if it doesn't improve. After he left we realized the vents on the ceiling were closed. I got a chair and opened them. Light A/C was coming though. After running the fan and opening the vents we went to sleep. Now at six am, it is okay. I just wish there were blackout curtains. Even with my eye mask I am up at 6:39 am. Not my idea of sleeping in on my vacation.
With that being said, the breakfast is dynamite. The service

I thought my thousandth review should be on a really positive note so I'm excited to share this hidden gem. It's off the beaten path but definitely worth venturing to.
I really can't say enough about this place. It was really a great experience. I had booked on Hotwire's secret deal for a downtown hotel. It was 95% rated, and honestly, I thought it was going to be the Hilton Garden. That's our go-to downtown hotel. When my deal popped and I saw the Inn on Ferry Street, I had never heard of it before. It was well up north, just south of 94, but in a nicer neighborhood.

This place is adorable!! We stayed here for a family wedding and had a lovely time. The rooms are cozy and have most of the amenities you could need. Our only complaint was that there is zero water pressure, so don't go for the shower, however their bathtubs are huge and perfect for a long soak.
Their breakfast is standard in quality but with a great range of food items. There are eggs, salsa, avocado, quiches, and several goodies for those with a sweet tooth (me!) among other things. It worked great for us since most of the people staying at the inn were there for the wedding, so the dining

Our Queen suite was spacious and well appointed. The Avalon cookies in the room were a nice touch. I would give them 5 stars if it wasn't winter and freezing in the rooms. Yes, there was a space heater in the bedroom, but it took a long time to heat up. The shuttle was a nice touch and came in handy for our trip to the DSO.
The breakfast in the morning was great. There was lots of fresh fruit, baked goods, Great Lakes Coffee and little frittatas.
I really enjoyed this BnB and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The Inn at Ferry Street is a row of 4 buildings set near Wayne State. Each was once a private home to a local Detroit family, and has the Queen Anne architecture and details that make a nerd like me love climbing 3 flights of stairs (no elevators, what do you think?) to get to my room.
It's a little difficult at first to find (it doesn't help they are doing construction on the street) but make sure you go to 84 Ferry Street, as that is where check-in is.
I was greeted by a wonderful front desk gentleman, and the valet was great too! They have a charming dining area where the free breakfast

Great place! We always stay here during the auto show. The place is quaint and located in a quiet neighborhood near Wayne State University. The staff is friendly, the rooms are great, and the breakfast is top-notch. It's located a block away from several museums and restaurants.
The staff really goes out of their way to make you comfortable. This last visit the heater stopped working in my room and they not only helped me move my stuff to a new room but also upgraded me for free for the trouble. Great people and great place to stay!
