This is just such a lovely property of four historic homes in classic Midtown Detroit. Very convenient for easy access to downtown. Literally a stone's throw from Wayne State campus. We stay if wife needs care at Henry Ford Hospital, or the Amtrak Train Station. Both literally 5 minutes away. Also, here's a hidden tip: On Monday nights, 5:00-8:00pm there is a "free" Community Dinner offered at the BasBlue house next door (on the corner). It's just something they do to support the neighborhood. And the food is prepared by a guest Chef. So it is top drawer. Finally, my only "minor" criticism is that the continental breakfast offered by the Inn on Ferry Street was kinda cheap. Maybe it's better during tourist season? I heard ownership just changed over, maybe they are still pulling together. Note to Inn on Ferry - you guys should partner with your neighbors at BasBlue, since they serve a wonderful hot breakfast. Just a thought??? We do LOVE The Inn on Ferry Street!!!

No adjustable heat in the rooms and it was set at 62 degrees in November. I was in the room for a half hour booking another hotel and they charged me for the entire night. Very unprofessional and misleading.

We have stayed at this lovely and unique hotel setting on several occasions during the past 25 years. The former private homes that were redeveloped as a hotel are spectacular in architectural design with solid oak molding, stained glass windows and gorgeous public spaces. Our only complaint was the significant delay getting hot water to our third floor room. Everything else was wonderful
