On the positive: this is a very clean, well cared for former mansion that is conveniently located on a major Detroit street. Rooms are spacious and nicely furnished, with dressers, a television, and a omfortable sitting area with a loveseat and chair. The bathroom was clean. As a guest, I would have appreciated several features and conveniences: A coffee maker in the room or printed information about Access to coffee in the main floor lobby in the morning. Some print information with information about connecting to the internet; a brochure or literature from the Detroit Visitors’ Bureau; and a list of nearby restaurants. As a customer, I would expect: A grab bar in the shower/tub Hot water in the shower; over three days it never was more than lukewarm Hot and cold water faucet handles that allowed more than a dribble of water in the shower and in the sink At least four bath towels rather than two A bar of soap larger than only the two postage-stamp pats of soap provided, one in the shower and one at the sink A plastic cup (or two) in the bathroom

Had a wonderful stay at the Frederick Stearns House Historic Inn. The owner was there most of the time to answer any questions and provided some great information on the history of the Inn and surrounding area. She also prepared very delicious breakfasts. The room was large and comfortable and there are many interesting decorations throughout the Inn.

Great location in Indian Village area. Beautiful restored 1903 mansion of 16,000 square feet. exquisitely furnished with period furniture and paintings. Close to rverything Detroit had to offer. We stayed two nights and will definitely be coming back. Rachel was such a great host and proudly gave my wife and I a tour of the house. We loved every minute of our stay. Large and comfortable room with a super comfortable bed. You’ll love this one of a kind bed and breakfast.

Great place to stay!

The house is absolutely beautiful! It's probably my fault for not reading correctly, but I thought there would be a full breakfast (there was coffee, fruit and pastries) and that the pub in the basement was open (private parties only). Our room (Aster) was uncomfortably warm, but the rest of the building was nice and cool. A fan in the room would have helped. Getting into the building late at night was a challenge as the door lock system could be improved. Beautiful architecture and history in this place!
