What guests say
8.1 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 322 guest reviews
The Inn on Ferry Street wins consistent praise for its stunning historic mansions, walkable location near Detroit's cultural institutions, and warm staff, making it a charming choice for architecture and history enthusiasts. However, recurring issues with cleanliness, rooms not matching bookings, limited housekeeping, and reduced services under new ownership temper the experience, leaving several guests feeling the property falls short of its price and former standards. Guests willing to embrace a characterful, stair-only property with some rough edges will find it rewarding; those expecting polished, full-service hospitality may be disappointed.
