Unique Inn stay in a mansion from yesteryear
Wonderful unique inn stay. The inn is a restored mansion and it's really fancy inside. But it's not a hotel. It's an Inn. The art and the interior layout and the furnishings in the rooms is like stepping back in time, to a more luxurious period. It's got a lot of charm and character and I for one would stay here again. The not so good : Wifi didn't reach the room we stayed in. No in room fridge or phone. Concierge is part time (it is an Inn and not a hotel after all). Continental breakfast only. It is an old (incredibly well restored) mansion. The walls and floors are thin.... And people stay for a night or two like in a hotel. Sometimes people are extra friendly when they stay in a hotel room. The walls are very thin and not sound insulated.

So conveniently located to several venues (Little Caesars, CoMerica Park, Ford Field, Masonic Temple, Fox Theatre) all within walking distance. More restaurants in the area will hopefully come. Would definitely stay here again

Excellent location to see a show at the Fox, go to LCA, Ford Field or Comerica. The area is clean and safe. Hotel has an excellent fresh Continental breakfast. Also, the rooms are absolutely gorgeous as the house is a masterpiece of 19 century architecture.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel so we could attend a concert. We went to Caesars Arena so the location was amazing ..entering the hotel we were very pleased with the decor.. when we got to our room it was adorable historic, colorful, and comfortable. We were very pleased with the staff that worked inside. They were friendly and inviting . However, the parking attendant was extremely RUDE..When we parked our car he approached us and asked why we passed him in the lot. We told him we didn’t necessarily see him and that we were lost. He was relentless in reprimanding us for driving past him as though he was some type of authoritarian. Had we had the option of leaving at that point we would have? I’m glad that we didn’t because the hotel was beautiful.

What a beautiful property and beautiful experience! Our room was gorgeous, and I loved that all of the rooms are different. A major perk was that our room had a massive bathroom and hot tub, and it was so lovely to come home to that every night. The whole vibe of the place is peaceful and elegant, and the staff were so helpful and accommodating. Additional highlights are the fantastic breakfast and extremely convenient location, with very close proximity to the arenas and downtown areas. I loved everything about this stay. My only complaint is the bed was not the greatest, and the shower didn’t get lava-hot the way I like it.

The location of The Inn at 97 Winder is perfect for walking to Little Caesar's Arena. The off-street parking is a bonus. I wanted to love this charming historic Inn but it fell short. The area rug in our room was stained and dirty. The blinds on the windows overlooking the street were literally hanging in shreds. The couch had stains. In the bathroom 3 of 4 lightbulbs in the fixture over the sink/mirror were burned out. A few repairs and improvements and this could be an award-winning Inn.

This property was excellently located for convenience to Ford Field, Ceasars Palace, and Comerica Park if that is where you want to go. It is within walking distance of all. The place in general was really neat. The only complaints about the place was the beds could use some new mattresses, and a continental breakfast instead of breakfast I am use to at bed and breakfasts having great full breakfasts. The only other complaint is the parking was good, but the parking lot of the 97 Winder was used for paid parking for the games at Ceasars. This created a problem for those staying at 97 Winder as it was hard to get the parking attendents to understand we were guests and to save us a parking place when we went in and out. The hosts were all friendly. Overall, if I went again for games, I would stay again.

Bait and switch or bold face lies?
I will say this, compared to the “three hots and a cot” most people in Detroit are probably used to this place may seem like an upgrade. Upon entering our room we were greeted with a double bed not a queen; hair on the bed- like A HAIR strands of hair. A rug that was dirty and had not been washed in ages, hair in the shower drain, hair clippings in the sink, as well as tile falling off the tub surround. We were told the property was sold out and we could not change rooms. We were also told that several of the issues we brought up- the cleanliness and the shower issues would be resolved when we returned from Dinner. And of course THEY WERE NOT FIXED. They claimed they did; maybe they cleaned the wrong room? They had so many vacancies I can understand how they would've made the mistake with it being so empty. The parking lot had 3 total Vehicles so the property was not sold out. We were repeatedly told this is a queen bed despite putting a measuring tape on it and illustrating the measurements matched what Google said a double bed size was; and several Amazon links for double mattresses. I am 5’10 255 she is 6’1 170 so a double isn’t working. After realizing we would not be accommodating we left shortly after midnight and found other accommodations

A Gem
This is a fun experience for couples or solo travelers. The rooms in this 19th-century home are cozy and comfortable. Guests have access to common living spaces and a kitchen. After exploring Detroit each day, reading and sipping tea in the front room, complete with period furniture, was very relaxing. It's a short walk to downtown and the various sports complexes. The staff were friendly and helpful. One minor quibble: They don't answer email or "contact us" forms on their website. If you have a question, you have to call.
