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.

Love the area & love the building. It’s a cute place but has its issues- our room was so unbearably hot and thermostat did not work. The tv was nothing but static, small and old.The whole building needs renovation work. Don’t try to call to get help with anything as no one responds at front desk. Would not stay here again. There are similar places we have stayed like this that are 5 star. They have their own parking lot but you still have to pay for that on top of the high price to stay there

I love the old Victorian homes in Detroit and this did not disappoint…staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I enjoyed spending time in the parlor room. It was very quiet and away from the traffic noise of Woodward. Unfortunately I couldn’t get the TV to work.

Interesting period property with lovely staff, but quite isolated location and there was a late night party in one of the other rooms. Close to the art gallery but far out of the city, although there is a free streetcar from right outside.

Staff stole my food and lied about it. It was clean and neat, but the staff was rude and stole a food delivery and failed to admit about it. Would not stay again because of that reason. Also, we’re over, eager on trying to get tips, which makes me not want to tip!

I booked for one night only and woke up to no running water. TVs are very small with no smart TV options. The view of the Bedroom TV blocked by the doors of the dresser that it’s in. It also seats very low that you can’t view while laying in the high bed.
