Quaint charm in Midtown Detroit

The Inn on Ferry Street is very charming! It has the feel of a bed and breakfast. The buildings are old and quaint, which I like, but if you need everything brand new, this might not be your style. The rooms could use new carpet, and the mattress was a little soft for my taste. But I'll be back because I love the ambience and location.
