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.

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.

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.

Old English Inn in Detroit’s West Village
The Stearns is an incredibly unique stay.
It’s a classic Tudor mansion that operates as much lore of a quaint Old English Inn that a hotel, so go in with that and you will love it.
Somewhat between downtown and Gross Pointe. Across from the UAW, so perfect if you are going there for UAW work.

This unique property is a historic renovation of a turn of the century mansion to hotel rooms, which is beautifully done with spacious and interesting rooms. The staff/owners customer service are very proud of the property and treated me more like a house guest than a hotel visitor and went above and beyond. Best service I’ve ever had.

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.

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.
