Hotel was amazing and owner very friendly. However we booked on Expedia because included free breakfast however owner wanted to charge us $20 pp. we went off site for breakfast. Also couldn’t get the TV to work in the living room, we made the owner aware.
The room was beautiful, spacious and spotless. Check-in was easy and the inn is conveniently located just a short distance from excellent dining options. We will be back.
Our Valentine’s Day getaway was absolutely lovely! Rachel, the owner, was incredibly warm and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. I can't wait to return!
Beautifully restored historic home with amazing attention to detail. We stayed in the Astor room. Very comfortable bed and room was perfect. Close to the Ford house which we toured. Owners are very welcoming and passionate about their B&B and made our experience a great memory! Thank you!

On the positive: this is a very clean, well cared for former mansion that is conveniently located on a major Detroit street. Rooms are spacious and nicely furnished, with dressers, a television, and a omfortable sitting area with a loveseat and chair. The bathroom was clean.
As a guest, I would have appreciated several features and conveniences:
A coffee maker in the room or printed information about
Access to coffee in the main floor lobby in the morning.
Some print information with information about connecting to the internet; a brochure or literature from the Detroit Visitors’ Bureau; and a list of nearby restaurants.
As a customer, I would expect:
A grab bar in the shower/tub
Hot water in the shower; over three days it never was more than lukewarm
Hot and cold water faucet handles that allowed more than a dribble of water in the shower and in the sink
At least four bath towels rather than two
A bar of soap larger than only the two postage-stamp pats of soap provided, one in the shower and one at the sink
A plastic cup (or two) in the bathroom
Had a wonderful stay at the Frederick Stearns House Historic Inn. The owner was there most of the time to answer any questions and provided some great information on the history of the Inn and surrounding area. She also prepared very delicious breakfasts. The room was large and comfortable and there are many interesting decorations throughout the Inn.
Great location in Indian Village area. Beautiful restored 1903 mansion of 16,000 square feet. exquisitely furnished with period furniture and paintings. Close to rverything Detroit had to offer. We stayed two nights and will definitely be coming back. Rachel was such a great host and proudly gave my wife and I a tour of the house. We loved every minute of our stay. Large and comfortable room with a super comfortable bed. You’ll love this one of a kind bed and breakfast.
Beautiful Historic home restored perfectly! Check in and out was seamless. Perfect location to stay after the Tigers game! We will certainly return to the Rose Room!
Splendid mansion in a very nice neighborhood. Rooms are very spacious. Owners are very nice people and are true heroes to put so much time, effort and resources into revitalization of the building. It's really impressive!
First and foremost, the desk host was rude. The rules on the hotels app doesn’t add up to what she said. The rooms were extremely cold and she wasn’t very welcoming
This is an older home that has been beautifully restored. Every detail was attended to. The owner gave us a tour and history of the house. We will definitely come back again.
The house is absolutely beautiful! It's probably my fault for not reading correctly, but I thought there would be a full breakfast (there was coffee, fruit and pastries) and that the pub in the basement was open (private parties only). Our room (Aster) was uncomfortably warm, but the rest of the building was nice and cool. A fan in the room would have helped. Getting into the building late at night was a challenge as the door lock system could be improved. Beautiful architecture and history in this place!
