Inn on Ferry Street, Detroit

It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at Sweethoteldeals. Net They usually have some pretty good deals on there!

If you want a unique and satisfying experience in downtown Detroit, bypass the hotels and head for this place. Friends and I booked rooms here for a weekend get together and it was fabulous. It's a bed and breakfast set in Victorian era buildings with all of the amenities. The restoration and decor is wonderful and the breakfast bar was nothing short of amazing. People, do not be afraid to stay in 'downtown Detroit'. There's a huge moevment to restore and renew the inner city and this gem of a place is an excellent example of how it's working for all. Because we had booked many rooms in one house, we took over the common area at night for karaoke and socializing. On the day of my departure, it was close enough to walk to the Detroit Institute of Art to see the Diego Rivera mural. The DIA is so nice, in the top three of any art institue's I've visited. Also, do not miss the Ren Center, a rooftop tour via the tram, Eastern Market, Pegawic Pottery and Belle Island. I LOVE Detroit and can't wait to go back. I will be staying at the Inn on Ferry Street!

I liked everything about the Inn. i didnt even have to make a reservation just walked in and they had a room. and paid by cash also. the room was on the third floor and the room was very nice and every thing in it. but the room was a little to warm other than that it was great. and the stuttle took me to harper hosp. and back and to union sation to eat Dinner. and they breakfast they have for their guest is very good also. if you leave their hungery it is your own fault. and i think i even got a deal on the room as i only paid 99.00 but i would stay their in a heart beat and tell all my fmaily and friends to stay their also if they had buss. to do in Detroit for a couple of days like i did. the rooms was very clean, the location wasnt bad either once i found it. and the value couldnt be beat. and all the staff was very kind and helpful. the service i got their was top rate.

My boyfriend and I stayed there for Valentines weekend. It was wonderful!!!!!! The staff was friendly and nice.Valentine's Day breakfast was delicious. We will return next year!

My husband and I booked a room for New Year's Eve. We were attending a concert at the Fox Theatre, and having no knowledge of this city, were flying blind. I was attracted to the Inn on Ferry Street for several reasons: It was close to the theatre, but not down town, the pictures on the website looked stunning, the price was what I would have paid for a lesser quality stay somewhere else, but most of all there was free shuttle service to the theatre. We did not want to attempt parking or driving on NY eve in an unfamiliar city. This Inn did not disappoint! We arrived several hours early and had plenty of time to soak up the lovely architecture, talk with the very informative and kind staff, enjoy a local pizza and relax in our extra comfy bed for a little while before our concert. The shuttle took a group of us right to the theatre door and picked us up within minutes of our call that we were ready to depart. It was so convenient to not have to worry about driving and parking. The next morning, we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast of scrambled eggs, waffles and fresh fruit, as well as fresh brewed coffee and juice. Everything was top of the line. Even the toiletries in our room were splendid. I researched them online after returning home only to find they are from a family owned business in England. Every small detail was attended to and every effort was made to make this an outstanding stay for us. I cannot wait to return some day. It's a little more costly than I am used to, but it was well worth it.

I have stayed at the Inn three times; once for my daughter's 18th birthday, once for a church ladie's retreat and once with a group of friends who rented one whole house which we had all to ourselves. Each visit was utterly delightful and refreshing. The beauty of the mansions contribute to the feeling of stepping back in time. I love the shuttle service and found it available whenever it was needed. The breakfast is fabulous and the staff very accomodating. I have stayed at many historic Inns and this is one of the BEST!!!

The Inn on Ferry Street is a historic, beautifully renovated, fresh, clean slice of the goodness of Detroit! The food was delicious. Coffee was ample and hot. In-room music CDs of local artists & Detroit-based reading material enjoyed. Safe, secure and the staff is oh, so friendly. Yes, I will return!

I've stayed at the Inn on Ferry Street twice. It's really more of a boutique hotel than a B&B (although you do get a nice free breakfast). If you're in Detroit on business or for any other reason, this is a great place to stay. They have a free shuttle service to the area restaurants and bars, and the staff is warm and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated, and the three 100-year old mansions that make up the Inn are stunning. It's on the Wayne State campus, right next to the Detroit Institute of Arts and across from the Historical Museum and the main branch public library. I'd never even consider staying at a hotel if I could get a room at the Ferry Street Inn.

The first time we stayed there they gave us the wrong room. They appologized and said they would give us a voucher so we could stay there with the right room. We agreed to it but it took them 6 weeks to get the voucher to us after several phone calls. We reserved the room for second time and they said it would be available. We drive there and once we arrive we are given a very small room with nothing we were promised. After complaining we found out the room we were suppose to get had a key broke off in the lock and they were sorry but they couldnt do anymore for us. The staff was very helpful but the owner thought it was acceptable to give us the wrong room twice. We left there after that and stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. The experience there was much more pleasant. The rooms we were put in looked nothing like the pictures even when we paid the high dollar for the Queen excutive suite the first time.

I was recently in Detroit for work and stayed here and loved it. Great price, very good continental breakfast complete with Starbucks coffee. And, the room coffee maker is Starbucks which was good. I usually avoid the in-room coffee at all costs. For me, the location was great as I was working at a nearby museum and the hotel shuttle was very accomodating. The only negative which is not a big deal was there was nowhere to put anything in the bathroom. There was a tiny glass shelf but that was it. Like I said, though, not a big deal and I would definitely stay there again.
