Charming historic buildings in a quiet neighborhood. Main lobby common room is a very inviting & comfortable space to relax. Staff was friendly & helpful with information. Delicious breakfast with a variety of offerings. Floors are creaky and walls thin since buildings are old, so can be a bit noisy when other guests are moving around. Great place to stay outside of busy downtown.

We got an upgrade so I can’t complain too hard but the Carriage House needs some love in terms of maintenance and cleanliness. The carpet was stained, the bathroom floor was not clean, the sink was dripping, the frame of the bathroom window was broken and couldn’t be closed all the way, and we found a random lost sock under the bed.

We left food in the fridge to take back the next day and someone on staff are some. The note with the room number was still on the box. There was a dead smashed bug on the wall. There was a hair on a "clean" breakfast plate. The dust in the homes billowed in the sunlight. I'm sure the place is generally sanitized but it hasn't been properly clean in at least a decade.

The old buildings are beautiful, and each room is unique. The room was unusually shaped but adequate space for bed, table, TV, bathroom, closet. The common areas left for guests to use are charming and comfortable, stocked with tea, coffee, and water.

The location is perfect for visiting area museums. I found parking on the street. Checking in and out was easy and efficient. Breakfast was abundant and good as was coffee throughout the stay. But the buildings are showing a some wear and could use a little love. There are many small paint chips, a shelf in the public bathroom hanging off the wall, a chair in the dining room without enough stuffing in the seat. The shower liner was too long so the edges hung in the water and had a little mold. Nothing is major to deter my staying here again but I hope these nitpicky things can be attended to in order to make the improve the experience.

Its a charming placryc e, the breakfast was fabulous strawberries eggs, great. 2 things. Guests should be warned about flights of stairs ahead oftime. and secondly unfortunately there was a huge party inthe courtyard until 4 am. the party organizer apologized to us but said she was told there would be no booking where we were placed. Things happen. But would have been nice at least to get an apology from management. .

Proximity to the Detroit Institute of The Arts unsurpassed. If the DIA is your destination do not bother to stay anywhere else. 25 minutes LYFT to and from the airport you will not need a car. Neighbors include Wayne State University, The Center for Creative Studies, and The Detroit Public Library. Breakfast was awesome, eggs, sausage, berries, granola, cereals, yogurts, juices and coffee. Fill up at the INN and then have lunch at the DIA. It has a cafe and a cafeteria. Skip dinner and rest up for the second DIA visit. Recommend two days at the DIA, three nights on Ferry. One day before DIA with 3PM check in, one day after second follow up DIA visit. Checkout after breakfast.
