Beautiful old buildings. Was VERY cold. They did have a space heater in the room. It is going to be renovated this year and it needs it. Miss the previous ownership's awesome breakfast.

The staff was kind and helpful. The room was dreamy and reminded me of my grandmother’s old property on Jefferson. I expected the room to be freezing, but instead it was 82 degrees. There was no closet space due to the tv placed in the cabinet. Don’t expect to eat or keep cold drinks either. It’s focus is tea or coffee in all the pretty nocks and reading rooms. The view of the tv is obscured by the cabinet doors because of how the bed is positioned. I was in the middle of everything I wanted to do (DIA, Autoshow, MLK HS, Hitsville, The Block, Babi, and Le Suprême).
Snowy quiet and quaint entrance that takes you back to a different time.
The brickwork!!
In the middle of historic colleges and universities like Wayne State.
Rich history and photos throughout.

There was no breakfast. We should have been given a voucher for breakfast at a nearby restaurant because we paid for it with the reservation. The room needed a thorough vacuuming and dusting. Parking nice and convenient.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The hallways were not vacuumed, the room did not have working heat. They did provide a space heater in the closet, so I hauled it out and set it up. One of the desk lamps did not work, the outlet did as I used it to recharge my phone. The property charges extra to park in their lot, and there really is no other place to safely park. They seem irritated I used Expedia to book the room. I got a receipt from them and it listed a credit card that is not mine. I did call to try to find out what was done, and they referred me to Expedia to fix the issue. It has been a week and I have not been charged for the room. I won't go back there.

Breakfast was not available. Our room was mediocre and hot. Im pretty sure our room was wrong due to a person training. The inns were beautiful, i wish the room offered more to match the high price.

We booked this in August for the late December. One of the amenities we look for is a free continental breakfast, which this place had and was highly rated. We received an email FOUR days before check in stating that they are no longer serving breakfast. Not giving us enough time to find somewhere else to stay without paying a fortune. Pros: -Every member of the staff we interacted with was really nice! -Room was a comfortable temperature and stayed that way during the duration of our stay. -Water cooler in entryway that can do hot or cold. Plus a Keurig. -Great water pressure as long as you're an early bird. Otherwise the water pressure and temperature fluctuates by quite a bit. -Great location! 10-15 minutes (at most) away from a majority of the places we visited. -Quiet street, little to no road noise with only rare sirens being heard. Cons: -The house we stayed in did not have a door directly from the parking lot. You had to walk with all your luggage up the side of the house and use a walkway to get to the front door. The walkaway to the house we stayed in wasn't a solid path and was very uneven. -Stains on the carpet everywhere. -The room we stayed in was on the 1st floor and directly to the right as soon as you stepped in to the entry way. The crack under the double doors to our room is huge. -Noise carries throughout the building. -The mattress was uneven and very soft. -Only one outlet could hold a standard phone charger.
