Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The registering was painful, last minutes changes of the attributed room, with a bed about 4 feet high, and a ladder to get up and down. To get a room with a more normal bed was a difficult fight. When we said that we had come already several times it was said that this was not true (we had come twice before)... So not what you would expect from a hotel of this price.

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!
