Awesome place to stay!
My stay was the Frederick Stearns was amazing!! My room was clean and Rachel the owner was very responsive to anything I needed. The location was convenient to get to anything downtown. Literally took less than 10 mins to drive to all the action downtown. My only criticisms are that i wish the actual breakfast provided for the B&B had a little more. It was more of a lite continental breakfast with not many options. Other B&Bs I've stayed at gave you a hot breakfast with all the fixins. My other criticism is minor and it was that i cpuldnt control the temperature in my room. However, Rachel was very responsive when i asked her to adjust the heat in my room. Other than that stuff, i HIGHLY recommend staying here.

Beautiful & Worth It
This was such a gorgeous place! Just beautiful! The owner checked us in and gave us a little tour. We stayed in the Zinnia room. I thought the bed was very comfy. It had Netflix set up on the tv. The fireplace in our room didn’t work though.

Not so Happy New Year’s Eve
I read other reviews for this Inn and I was excited to stay here until I met the owner. She was rude and dismissive towards my fiancé and I from the moment we met. She acted as if we should not be able to afford to be there. We were not welcome. IYKYK. Her husband however was extremely nice so look for him. There were other guests there having a party and she was being super helpful but each time she saw us she tended to look away and act as if we were not there. I cannot tell you what the amenities were because we were not informed of anything unless we asked. She was the only staff so we had no choice but to try to engage with her so we kept our interactions minimal. The Inn is beautiful and impeccably clean. The bed was comfortable but our night was ruined. My fiancé wanted to leave and I refused to because we would not have been able to get a refund. It was not a pleasant night.

10/10 Exceptional

This historic home has been meticulously restored. It is very comfortable and quiet. Rachel is an amazing hostess and we feel as though we are family and at home when we stay there rather than lodging at a hotel. We have stayed there on several occasions now and it is the only place that we will book in Detroit from here on out. We have stayed at many other locations on The D, this one is the tops by a long shot. The rooms are all amazing and unique. The common areas and other places to relax are all equally amazing. We have absolutely loved every tour and sharing about the restoration of the home. We always look forward to seeing Rachel and sharing conversations with her. This place is special.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the Frederick Stearns house. The house was gorgeous, and we loved learning from the owner the history of the home and the work they put in restoring it. The room was quiet, clean and relaxing, and the coffee and fresh baked pastries in the morning were wonderful! Would highly recommend this stay to anyone that appreciates history, along with the comfort of a luxury hotel!

Great property. The bed was very comfortable. I wish they had a full breakfast option instead of tea or coffee. I thought this was going too be like a bed and breakfast Inn.

4/10 Fair

Nice facility, terrible neighborhood
The building is beautiful and the host and hostess very kind and pleasant. However, the building is on as busy street and very noisy. It was telling that there are white noise generators in each room. We were moved from our original rooom, the most expensive, to another not facing the street. The second night was worse, with a neighbor playing loud music until 1:30 in the morning. I sleep with earplugs and they could not keep out the noise. We left six hours later. I would never return.

This is one of my best travel experiences. I’ve recommended this as a to-go hotel to my friends with travel plans to Detroit. The owner renovated the historic house with every single design and furniture reflecting the 19th century originals. Frederick Stearns’ story as a pharmaceutical entrepreneur is also inspiring. This whole history and story and the architecture turn the hotel into a museum. I personally could spend days just sitting there imagining myself living in the 19th. Detroit is a great city with splendid history in business and culture. I’m thankful to Rachel for keeping the essence. Reserved parking right next to the house. Delicious breakfast.

My wife and I and another couple spent two nights at the Frederic Stearns House and found it to be excellent. Spacious, clean rooms and an inviting ambiance. The historic nature of the Home added to a wonderful experience. Our host, Rachel, was gracious, most helpful, and we loved her cookies. If there is a higher rating than 5 stars, Rachel and the Frederic Stearns House deserve it. Highly recommended. Peter & Shirley, Canyon Lake, Texas
