If & when I return I will ask NOT to have my room close to the rear parking; individuals would sit in their car with noisy engine/muffler running! Consider putting a phone in the lobby connected to the check-in counter; I needed to speak to the Front Desk about: no coffee machine and my room heat not working properly; I had to use the heater but the bathroom was still freezing. The building is beautiful.

The Inn was close to and convenient to the DIA and the Detroit Historical Society museum. A great restaurant, Chartreuse, was within walking distance, and it was a short drive to Mario's. We enjoyed our stay.

I always stay at Inn on Ferry (or Inn at 97 Winder if I am going to a concert at Little Caesar's Arena) when I go to Detroit. Clean, green, good breakfast if you want that, easy parking, knowledgeable staff, amazing baths.

The windows were rotted. The room was noisy. The flooring in the hall was threadbare. The cable tv didn't work. It was stuck on ESPN. The Eight OClock coffee was the best part of it.

This hotel has declined a lot in the last twenty years when I began to ho there. The breakfasts are not as good as they once were, they charge for parking (which was once free), there were half a dozen stains on the carpet in my room, no where near enough toilet paper in the room, no bath mats and not enough towels etc etc

It's an old building so be advised it's not quiet nor isolated. No A/C either so just be aware. It's super clean tho and the price is right for the area.
