Interesting inn comprised of remodeled historic homes. Rooms are clean, baths are modern, continental breakfast is excellent. Rooms are noisy (you can hear neighbors), and there are no elevators for upper floors.

Miles apart from the big chain hotels. The property is stunning. We were met with kindness and given our choice of room. If anything I would say that if you are looking for charming staff, comfortable accommodations, and a better level of personal care, book here!

We purchased a romantic package room with champagne, chocolates, a dozen roses and a whirlpool bath in one of the restored historic homes at the Inn on Ferry Street. It's located in Detroit's cultural center of the city next to the Detroit Institute of Arts.
The Inn is a Detroit jewel! CDs for our room player featured excellent, locally produced music of Mack Ave Records. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. The reception area in the Scott House served coffee and pastries from the Great Lakes Roasters and Avalon Bakery close by. Free shuttle service was provided for any venues within a five mile radius.
Our room and the public sitting areas in the Pungs House were decorated with influences from the Victorian era. Everyone there was pleasant, helpful and dressed professionally. The food offerings were fresh and tasty. One could choose to mingle in the dining area or sit and read the wide selection of newspapers by the fireplace.

My wife and I had a great first stay at the Inn on Ferry Street. Location is near the Detroit Institute of Arts and Wayne State University, the nexus for downtown Detroit's urban revival. Our room and private bath were spacious and tastefully decorated, with upscale amenities. Breakfast delightful in the main building's drawing room/dining room. Shuttle driver (Steve) was full of details on the neighborhood's history and nearby attractions. Highly recommend.
