We had a lovely stay and would absolutely stay again. I loved the record players and records available for guests to use in common areas. The Inn is a set of 4 separate historic Victorian homes and a carriage home located on a relatively quiet street right near the Q line street car and Institute of Art. We will return!

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.

Free parking on site. Easy walking distance to several restaurants, as well as the Detroit institute of Arts, the Detroit Historical Museum The Michigan Science Center, The Museum of African American history and the Detroit Public Library. Several buildings make up the inn. All of them are renovated houses, each with lovely rooms, plenty of space, and courteous and helpful staff.
