Amir and Ayesha were fabulous. Amir told me about the Q line to downtown. Amir and Ayesha spoke about beautiful places in Detroit. They were wonderful. The Inn in beautiful as well, the wood is historic. I had an amazing experience.

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 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.

This Inn is in the cultural part of the city so if thats your thing, you couldn't pick a better place to stay. Plenty of restaurants nearby and even more are accessible via the q line. I loved the bed and breakfast feel of the place and i hope that never changes.

The buildings are beautiful, if in need of some maintenance, which is planned. The location is great - right by DIA and Wayne State and on the free streetcar line. The neighborhood and property felt very safe. Parking was on site for a reasonable fee. The staff were friendly and attentive.
