The Inn is a beautifully restored row of Victorian houses (mansions, really!), with guest rooms across several buildings. The room I was in was on the cooler side. I noticed a space heater in the closet, but I was only there to sleep and enjoy a lower temp for that anyhow, so my Michigan spring stay worked out well. A lot of amenities you might expect to find in a modern hotel (coffee maker, clock, phone) are non-existent in your room, but do exist in the common room of each building. My personally experienced drawbacks were that some shades would not move up or down, very little toilet paper and tissue paper in the room, and some housekeeping neglect in the corners. Also, I booked a deluxe queen but feel I was put into a standard queen room. Overall, a 3-4 star experience, but I am leaning towards 4.

Our short stay was very nice. The historic homes were pretty well maintained. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Our room comfortably fit our family. Parking was easily accessible behind the homes. We would definitely stay again!

Room was paid in full $1873 back in June. Just before arrival I was charged $1432 for the room. They initiated a refund when I checked in but this should not have occurred. Additionally, why was the room $440 more when I booked it last June? I never got an answer and never got any resolution; that is a huge difference! Room was reasonably quiet (lots of noise above, likely a storage area for housekeeping) and clean, but property could use some updating and maintenance. Windows were dirty, screens and storm windows falling off the house. Bathroom was very small with a very small sink in the bedroom; there were only two hangers in the armoire, only one chair. Front desk promised more toilet paper but we had to get it from housekeeping the next day. Location is good with Qline stop at the corner. I would, however, likely stay downtown next time where there’s a lot more that’s walkable.
