After being on the road and out and about all day, settling in to the comfortable, clean bed was needed. The property actually consists of 3 buildings so leave the luggage in the car until after checking in. There may have been notice but there's no elevator so keep that in mind with luggage too. Quaint property within walking distance from DIA, Charles Wright, and Science Ctr. Not too far from the Q line either, if you dont want to drive downtown.

The Inn on Ferry Street was a convenient, historical place to stay. The breakfast every morning was great, with the staff being very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, but the stains on the carpet floor and poor air conditioning on the top floor made it dissappointing. Loved the character of the historical buildings.

The a/c was not working in our room and it was 81 degrees inside. Very hot and uncomfortable. I had to sleep downstairs in the lobby for a bit to cool off.

It’s a very nice building. Room is big and bed is comfortable. I found it weird that there is no shower curtain in the bathroom. The front desk person is amazing. Didn’t get her name, but I checked in on 7/9. Super personable. I needed ice and she found a bag in the freezer. You can buy an ice maker from Amazon for under $70. The owners should invest in that. Ice is important in this weather. The street is nice. The neighborhood is mid. Kinda dicey and I live in LA…. Not a lot of choices for food or bars nearby but I came because of the Institute of Arts. It’s just down the block.
