What an absolutely grand place to lodge. The room was not only beautifully decorated, but so clean for an older vintage home. I will definitely be staying here again.

The location is outstanding! Nice restaurants - Chartreuse, Babo and Wasabi are right around the corner. My friend and I had rooms in the Carriage House. A quick walk to the main house for breakfast.

This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The staff was courteous and helpful; the free shuttle service was fast and always available to take us to Wayne State University and to local restaurant. I loved my stay there. My room was beautiful and comfortable. I will always stay at the Inn on Ferry Street every time I'm in Detroit. It is a real treat!
