This is a historic, charming old home. With that, expect to use stairs to reach your room. We stayed a week and had housekeeping service only twice during our stay. The desk staff was very accommodating and filled our request for toilet paper and towels quickly, with a smile. They made us feel very at home and welcome. We enjoyed the common room with a phonograph and classic albums.
The bed was very comfortable. The house was quiet and well air conditioned. We slept great!
I would stay again.

The actual room looked NOTHING like any of the pictures.. the bed needed stairs to get up to.. it only had a window AC unit. The carpet was old and dingy.
The only option to keep medication cold was in a different building in the staff fridge!

Charming place with tons of character. Not great for more than a night. The bed was the creakiest thing I have ever slept on—seriously rolling over probably woke the whole hotel—making it uncomfortable. Location was great to access the free Q line.

The Inn on Ferry is a quaint place located midtown Detroit. Excellent welcoming and service while we stayed. The building we stayed in (grey stone) is beginning to show some wear on the inside. Carpets would be a good thing to replace and fixtures (e.g reading light shades) need a little more modernizing. We would stay again without hesitation as it was quiet and still very clean.

While I realize that hotels in Detroit can be hit or miss, I was saddened by the lack of cleanliness of my room. There was an army of dust bunnies along the baseboards, and for the cost of the room I was disgusted. Add that to the fact the AC was not working, and I was not impressed.

The staff could not have been nicer, and honestly, their management left them with a terrible situation with unsafe 98 degree weather and a failing AC and a lack of fans.

We had to move rooms and it was still 80 degrees in our new room. They didn’t have enough fans, which is not ok. They did find me an AC window but the very kind maintenance couldn’t get the window in the bedroom which is another layer of unsafe condition in a fire. Scary situation TBH.

The hotel has quaint potential but is in desperate need of a serious renovation and it is unethical to charge the amount they do without basic working amenities like AC and unsafe living conditions.

Maybe in the winter but I would skip the summer. It’s simply not safe.

For full disclosure, the management is refunding part of my stay, which is appreciated but does not resolve the overall issue.

The property was decorated nicely. I grew up in a historic home and was looking forward to staying here. But day 1 there was no air conditioning in the room on the hottest 2 days of this year thus far. We were in the biggest heat wave. I was told the AC was being worked on and they gave out all their fans. So I had to go to Walmart to buy a fan so I would not get sick. I have autoimmune conditions that get extremely flared with extensive heat. I feel the managers of this property should be up front about things like this so patrons can make an informed decision about whether to stay or not. I do feel I should be reimbursed for having to purchase a fan.

The room was great as well as the location. Parking on site was great. We were able to take the free Q Line to downtown/Tigers game. Disappointed that there was no Continental breakfast during the week and only pastries on the weekend. Being gluten intolerant, I wish they would have yogurt or oatmeal or even juice. Also, no refrigerator in room but shared refrigerator available in main building as well as ice.

—poor signage at back of hotel, trundled my luggage up the wheelchair ramp only to find a sign saying this was a private entrance, go around to the front - where there were only stairs, no ramp. This despite website promises of handicap accessibility. I pointed out the problem to the front desk person and he said “There IS a sign.” But you can only know that by getting close to the back door. By then you’ve wasted a lot of effort.

—front desk guy was unhelpful. Had to be asked to help with the luggage, was unapologetic about the back door signage, and when advised of a problem with the TV
said, “oh, just play with it. I’ll make a note in the system and Maintenance will be by tomorrow to have a look.” No help when the NBA championship is that same night.

—electrical outlets were loose - and therefore unsafe; both my phone charger and CPAP machine plugs kept falling out. windows were dirty. No drinking glasses in the room. Paint chipped around window and door frames.

—no housekeeping and no offer to provide service on request. one lone Kleenex left in box; toilet paper ran low, with replacement stowed out of sight/reach in closet.

—too bad the property eliminated the breakfast (many travel sites still list it).

On the plus side:

—Keeta (sp?) helped us get our luggage to the car; very friendly and helpful.

—excellent location

—room was generally quiet though at times we could hear activity directly above us

—paint colors and furnishings were beautiful

My wife and I stayed at the Roehm House. It was awesome. Quiet, well maintained and friendly staff. We will book a stay again, when we travel back to Detroit. The only downside was no Continental Breakfast. But I understand the reason because of some renovations. With that said, it easy within easy walking distance to several restaurants. However, on our last night of our stay, we enjoyed some crackers and cheese with wine on the front porch with the beautiful weather and surroundings. We will be back when we want to visit more of the many museums in the area. I can not say enough great things about our stay at the Roehm House. BTW - the free parking in the back was a very nice touch. Thank you so much.

I stayed three nights in one room and the fourth night I added last minute I spent in another room. Bedding was clean and comfortable. First bathroom had toothpaste splattered on the wall next to the sink. I found water bugs in the bathroom. It is after all a very old home turned into an inn. The staff were all very nice. I loved the soaps/hair care products. I feel like for the price they could have had more amenities like ice machine, maybe fresh donuts/muffins every morning instead of just weekends. Each building only had a community keurig and water cooler. Main building had fruit sitting out. The second room I stayed in the floor had not been vacuumed. Windows needed washing. I did love that there was a fan in the closet because I didn’t bring one! It was in a safe area close to many things. The property was clean overall, bedding was amazing, great location and nice staff so I would probably stay there again.

Beautiful property but there wasn’t extra toilet paper and Kleenex in the room and the bathroom shelf wasn’t secure. It was also pretty warm and we didn’t have individual control of our room temp. A mini fridge would have gone a long way. There was also no tea in the lobby. I would stay there again in the spring or fall.

Great old building in design and common area furnishings are appropriate with plenty of character. As for the room: Sure, the building is old and one doesn't expect a big room, but ours was too small; there was about one foot of space on two sides of the bed. Space to leave one suitcase open, but not two. Bathroom was small, as was the sink. The major problem in the room, though, was the owner's insistence on a period bed that required one to pole vault into it. There was a two-step stair left next to it, which might work fine until you feel for it in the middle of the night and twist an ankle. We stuck it under the bed. It was very challenging getting into the bed--like mounting a horse without stirrups. And the mattress was soft, softer than in most decent hotels.
Our room was supposed to include breakfast, and I assume we paid for it in the fee, but renovations nixed it. I asked for a credit, but the receptionist sloughed me off. I also asked her for information about two local attractions, but she couldn't help me. Finally, no one told us that we wouldn't get new towels each day, so we tossed some of ours on the floor per typical hotel protocol. Only later did we learn of their policy--new towels every two days. No problem--if they had just told us up front.

Advertised as a boutique hotel with continental breakfast available - it’s NOT in our experience. No breakfast available. Beverages only available in reception area and consist of tea bags and instant coffee, with water from a thermos flask! Decor is tired, carpets stained, windows can’t be opened, air con not working ( control not fixed properly to the wall), light switch in upper hall of the coach house not working, resulting in light needing to be left on all night. Rooms in coach house bear little resemblance to what is shown on line at booking and are above the garbage storage. It overlooks dumpsters from adjacent property.
So disappointed - this was a lot of money and should have been a treat .
Finally the quilt in the smaller room in the coach house is soiled- seems to be spattered with somebody else’s blood and then covered over with bedding.

To be honest I think you need to refund me and will be contacting Expedia on my return to the UK.

At check-in the hotel charged me an unexpected additional 7% for local fees, adding a notification when completing the reservation would have been appreciated.
The room was clean and well stocked, parking was right behind the building and easily accessible.

I know someone new bought the Inn on Ferry St, but that doesn't excuse the extremely dusty condition of my room, or the lack of any type of window shade to block the sun out. I've stayed at the Inn several times before COVID, and this new owner may want to restore some of the amenities that made staying at the Inn feel more home-like with breakfast for example.
I checked in when it was raining and the clerk didn't offer any assistance on getting to my room that was outside and two buildings down. When I got in the is building I discovered steep stairs and then a different flight of steep, but narrow stairs to get to my room. Why don't they offer to help you get your bags to your room? I would gladly tip for the help.
The location is great, but when the woman asked me how my stay was at check out and I told her the truth, her response that the new owner was doing a multi-million dollar renovation. How does that apply to the cobwebs and dust along the top raiing and vents to my room?

The Inn is a beautifully restored row of Victorian houses (mansions, really!), with guest rooms across several buildings.
The room I was in was on the cooler side. I noticed a space heater in the closet, but I was only there to sleep and enjoy a lower temp for that anyhow, so my Michigan spring stay worked out well. A lot of amenities you might expect to find in a modern hotel (coffee maker, clock, phone) are non-existent in your room, but do exist in the common room of each building.
My personally experienced drawbacks were that some shades would not move up or down, very little toilet paper and tissue paper in the room, and some housekeeping neglect in the corners. Also, I booked a deluxe queen but feel I was put into a standard queen room.
Overall, a 3-4 star experience, but I am leaning towards 4.

Room was paid in full $1873 back in June. Just before arrival I was charged $1432 for the room. They initiated a refund when I checked in but this should not have occurred. Additionally, why was the room $440 more when I booked it last June? I never got an answer and never got any resolution; that is a huge difference!

Room was reasonably quiet (lots of noise above, likely a storage area for housekeeping) and clean, but property could use some updating and maintenance. Windows were dirty, screens and storm windows falling off the house. Bathroom was very small with a very small sink in the bedroom; there were only two hangers in the armoire, only one chair. Front desk promised more toilet paper but we had to get it from housekeeping the next day.

Location is good with Qline stop at the corner. I would, however, likely stay downtown next time where there’s a lot more that’s walkable.

Parking was great! They have a small parking lot (enough for the number of guests) right behind the houses that comprise the property, and so it was very convenient to park.

The property is lovely and I understand they are planning an updating project. The houses are interesting and historic, and the updating project will make them even more appealing.

We loved the location! The DIA (Institutes of Art) was only a block away. Additionally we found an amazing restaurant, Chartreuse Kitchen and Cocktails, that served wonderful and creative vegan and meat-based dishes. I was the only vegan in our group, so this was the perfect spot. It was just a block away.

Most of the Inn's staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful.

The mattress was softer than it should be. When I checked in the staff was a bit surly. They put me in a room on the third floor with no elevator and I’m 65. I emailed in advance where I could get breakfast in the area and their recommendation made no sense and a Google search didn’t turn anything up. It’s a weird place and I don’t plan to return.

The room was spacious and clean. Since it’s a vintage building, there are some areas that show wear and tear. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The parking in the rear was secure. On Saturday night, it was full. There are a few shops near by, but the main advantage is the proximity of a Q-Line stop. This opens up access along Woodward Ave. The main drawback is lack of elevators for upper floors. The room also did not have a refrigerator, but the staff did offer use of a refrigerator by the checkin desk. We will take advantage of this location the next time we have an event in Detroit.

The are no elevators and lots and lots of very steep steps. There isn’t even a dumb-waiter for luggage. The is also no bell service. When I ask if I could get help the guy said “nawh, we don’t do that.” There is no hair dryer. The carpet next to the baseboards is filthy. Your room features a flimsy key lock and dead bolt. It doesn’t feel “historic” more like sketchy. The body wash smelled nice.

We had to open the windows to let cold air in then continued to not be able to sleep because the road noise/sirens/birds were so loud. The staff didn’t seem to care at all.

I picked the Inn because I love staying in properties like this. The room was nice but starting to show poorer shape. - the shades did not work well and make the room very dark (no sheers), bathroom was lacking hooks and adequate surfaces. The property promised breakfast but it was not available other than Sunday, the water jug wasn't changed for a day and there was no room cleaning at all for 3 days. I lost my electronic key and the front desk found one. All in all, a nice property which needs renovation and the staff more training. The buildings and location (and free parking) are great but you still have to deliver hospitality. I would not recommend for busines visitor.

I booked a king size bed suite and when I arrived to check in I was told I was\" upgraded\" to a new room because they had to move things around. However, I was given a room with a smaller bed and an extra room. The extra room had a couch and a chair and no TV and was absolutely useless. What I had booked and wanted was a king size bed. This was very disappointing. The homes that are made into this hotel are absolutely gorgeous. However, the plumbing is old. The furniture is old. The TV wasn't even a smart TV. It just seems not kept up. The room were given is a first floor that had a shade that It was very difficult to close but extremely important considering we were at eye level with the parking lots. We ran out of toilet paper on the first day and there's no extra in the room. There is No microwave, no little refrigerator . Just no modern comforts at all.

Housekeeping was disappointing, the room was not. The home was beautiful. The location ideal. The staff at the desk were friendly.

Housekeeping: vacuuming under all items would eliminate old wrappers and trash laying around, refilling the soaps and Kleenex after every guest a good idea, wiping down all wood surfaces especially the headboard behind the pillows and the bedframe, more than 2 towels in a room meant for 2 adults, and an extra blanket.

The staff was kind and helpful. The room was dreamy and reminded me of my grandmother’s old property on Jefferson. I expected the room to be freezing, but instead it was 82 degrees. There was no closet space due to the tv placed in the cabinet. Don’t expect to eat or keep cold drinks either. It’s focus is tea or coffee in all the pretty nocks and reading rooms. The view of the tv is obscured by the cabinet doors because of how the bed is positioned. I was in the middle of everything I wanted to do (DIA, Autoshow, MLK HS, Hitsville, The Block, Babi, and Le Suprême).
