Quaint charm in Midtown Detroit

The Inn on Ferry Street is very charming! It has the feel of a bed and breakfast. The buildings are old and quaint, which I like, but if you need everything brand new, this might not be your style. The rooms could use new carpet, and the mattress was a little soft for my taste. But I'll be back because I love the ambience and location.

Detroit first timers.

Came to town for a concert. The young lady Ariel at the desk was exceptional helping with directions to the venue. There are 4 houses and you are welcome to go into each and see the beautiful homes.

The Inn has lovely staff and historic charm. That said, our toom was located just inside the main entrance. There was a great deal of noise from other guests coming in and out and making coffee at the coffee station. The parking lot was also full, so we had to search our street parking. However, it’s close to the Qline, felt very safe and easy. We’d consider staying again but will request/book direct to ensure we have a room upstairs.
