Close to DIA and easy access to lots of local spots it is well situated off of a quiet street. My third floor room was spacious for my brief stay and the staff were very helpful, it was a step back in decoration and the common rooms and porches add to the effect.

Very Quaint & Comfy

The Inn on Ferry was super-convenient to the Reuther Archives, and it seems like a lovely safe neighborhood. The hotel itself is charming--four old buildings repurposed as a hotel. The central building, 84 East Ferry, offers a healthy breakfast every morning. The internet worked well. The room itself was large and very comfortable. Very quiet. And the staff are splendid and helpful. THREE CHEERS for the Inn on ferry.

This was such a fun stay! The inn was so charming and unique from staying at a "regular" hotel. The area is pretty and the buildings/rooms were even cuter in person. We were at the very top and it was very quiet. The bed was comfortable. We were amazed by the breakfast spread. Everything was fresh and delicious. Joann was so sweet and did a great job. I would definitely stay again!

It was a quiet are which was nice but our room had no air conditioning. We ask for a fan and the first one that was brought, someone took from outside our room. The next one left a a huge water spot on the carpet. We finally found a fan in the closet. The shower curtain had mold on it and there was no soap to wash your hands, only body wash. There’s no ice and no ramp or elevator to get into the building. It’s cute but doe not have any modern amenities. Would not stay again or recommend.

So much character in this place. My bathroom was beautifully tiled and updated. Some things about the room were a little worn out (window paint and carpet), but the character and warmth of the space outweigh any of that. The bed was very comfortable. I found the whole experience restful. And the air conditioning worked really well for an old building. Staff was also warm and welcoming.

Needed to go back and forth to the main, check-in, building to obtain extra body wash, ice, and get the linen service set right. Overall, it was a great experience and would come back. We ate our evening meals on the patio area in front of the carriage house. Very peaceful behind the buildings.

I have stayed at the Inn on Ferry before but it has been a while. I am a native Detroiter and highly attracted to the location. 50 years ago, my first apartment on my own was a few blocks away. The #1 advantage is the easy access to the Cultural Center. Sometimes I come by train and am without a car. That was the case this time around. This location is one of the few where that is not a liability, especially since I brought a folding bike with me. The beds are comfy, nice shower, plenty of spaces to unwind, and a decent breakfast. I love the aesthetic of the place. My only issue is beyond the management's control. The inn is close to Woodward. It is summer and it was a weekend. Excessively loud motorcycles and cars with modified mufflers make for a noisy night. Some of the backfiring and loud cars and motorcycles even made their way onto Ferry Street after midnight revving their engines and being as loud and obnoxious as possible. This is a sad national phenomenon that s becoming inescapable. The otherwise perfect location can be, unfortunately, pretty loud at night.

Lovely historic homes. Beautiful neighborhood but also very convenient (one short block) to the Q line and access to lots of Detroit sights, dining and sports venues. The room was perfect, the staff warmly welcoming and the breakfast was delicious, fresh and gracious. Even my 11 year-old traveling companion said, “If we come back to Detroit, we HAVE to stay here again!” It wasn’t just a place to stay, The Inn was part of our Detroit experience.

After being on the road and out and about all day, settling in to the comfortable, clean bed was needed. The property actually consists of 3 buildings so leave the luggage in the car until after checking in. There may have been notice but there's no elevator so keep that in mind with luggage too. Quaint property within walking distance from DIA, Charles Wright, and Science Ctr. Not too far from the Q line either, if you dont want to drive downtown.
