• The gentleman at the front desk tried his best to accommodate us.
• The 2 adjoining rooms were not available and we have 4 small kids. This was a problem.

“The hotel was clean and orderly. We were not guaranteed the adjoining rooms with 1 king and 2 double beds. I have 4 kids (11, 9, 7 and 11 months). We cannot put them in another room that is not connected. Joe at the desk put us in a nice 1 room suite, but that defeated the purpose of having 2 rooms so my wife and I could have some privacy.”

• This is a beautiful well maintained classic hotel.
• The cottages need king or double beds.

“Beautiful old world class hotel. They have small cottages behind the hotel which are like staying in a small house only thing missing is the kitchen.”

• Internet access was by modem in the room. I had no telephone connection with me. Could not use my laptop.
• The buildings are not connected so you had to walk outside to get to the lobby.

“Very attractive facility. This would be a great hotel in the summertime. It has a very large pool and tennis courts. No indoor activities for the other times of the year, but here are very nice banquet facilities it is very close to the Henry Ford museum and Greenfield village. It is not located very close to other restaurants. It is an easy trip from here to downtown Detroit.”

• Grand entrance with beautiful grounds.
• Separate building that reminded me of a super 6 or 8 hotel.

“Grand four star hotel that is great for business guests. The restaurant and breakfast buffet were superb. The grounds and entry were very intriguing. The rooms with double beds were not totally updated but the marble flooring presented quality to the room. The room did not have a refrigerator or separate living room but was small and freshly cleaned. It was not the lavish large four star hotels that I had expected but was nice. The separate building that we were assigned when we arrived reminded me of a super 6 or 8 hotel. I wanted a lavish hotel room for our anniversary not an upscale business oriented hotel. This hotel is super for business trips.”

“This truly should be under boutique. The room I had was not 400 sq ft including bath. The area was in a somewhat industrial area of Dearborn and though I would have been happy with the price I would not rate this as a 4 star.”

“The hotel is in a nice, safe location but the room we got was very small & unattractive, old furniture. I believe this hotel does not deserve 4 stars more like 2.5 or 3 stars.”

• Pleasant surroundings, excellent food, helpful staff.
• Noisy, noisy, noisy the walls are so thin you can hear everything in the next room.

“Definitely a place you will need a car to get to/from and also if you wish to eat away from the hotel. The room we stayed in didn't have an effective cooling control system, we were uncomfortably hot all night because the outside temperature was mild and the heavy weight bedding was too hot. The walls are very thin and you could hear everything that went on in the rooms adjoining a real disappointment as the hotel is lovely.”

• Housekeeping was very unprofessional.

“The hotel was great in so many words, but the service is what was so bad. A housekeeping employee walked in the room, without knocking. Furthermore, to insult to injury, I called the front desk and complained. I never received a call back from the front desk manager.”

• The bed was phenomenal; like sinking into heaven.
• The bathroom was a little cramped.

“A lovely hotel with an air of old world respectability. The room was large, clean with a bed that surpassed my expectations. If nothing else, I would return for the bed! The bathroom was a tad small, but decent for a single traveler. Even though the room was older it was a comfortable and clean place to stay. The food from room service could have been better, although dessert was good.”

“It was a wonderful place to visit. I had no idea the history behind this hotel and that made the visit even more fun. The grounds and buildings were elegant and tasteful. Not over done like some of the newer hotels. This place had class!”

“This is a charming hotel, but I think it is more appropriate for older couples with no kids. It is close to Detroit and Ann arbor. I would not likely stay there again due to the size of the room.”

• The bed and linens where nice quality and soft.
• The room, bed, and bathroom were very small.

“The Dearborn Inn, built in 1931, had great historical significance. Those who appreciate old charm and historically accurate decor will appreciate this hotel. There were several areas in the lobby that were warm and inviting for guests to relax. The restaurant food was delicious; however, the setting largely resembled an old banquet hall. The grounds were beautiful with well manicured lawns and gardens. The rooms were clean comfortable with modern Marriot bed linens and Bath & Body Works toiletries, but they were also very small. Size is its primary difference from new hotels. We requested a room with one bed, and the bed turned out to be full size as opposed to the usual king or queen size. The open space in the room was minimal, and the bathroom was tiny. The room could not have been any smaller. Overall, it seems more like a bed and breakfast than a 4 star hotel. While I know that some may appreciate the cozy feeling of a bed and breakfast, I had expected large rooms, a king size bed, and other modern amenities that come with every other 4 star hotel.”

• Everything about The Dearborn Inn is beautiful; our dinner that night was excellent.
• Our room was small, not a problem for us but a larger room would have been nice.

“We loved everything about our stay at The Dearborn Inn, it is such a beautiful place, the Inn, the grounds around the Inn, everything. Our room was small, fine for a couple like us but not for children without getting a second room. We had dinner in The early American room - it was awesome. I had Prime Rib, wife had Fillet, price for dinner was very fair for the meal we had.”

• The hotel was well maintained, especially considering the age of the facilities. The beds were very comfortable.
• Rooms showed their age a bit. Ultimately they looked older and might be in need of some small updating.

“This hotel facilitated a pleasurable stay with great helpful staff. The rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable; but, the rooms might be in need of some small updates (i.e. New carpet, and paint/wallpaper). The common areas were very well maintained and the grounds were beautifully manicured. Overall it was a very nice hotel that I would recommend to couples, business travelers and families alike.”

“Even though the Dearborn Inn is somewhat of an older hotel, the rooms were clean & very comfortable. We did have plumbing trouble in one of the rooms and air conditioning didn't work, the staff was quick to respond. All in all we had a pleasant stay.”

Accommodations were very much worth the price we paid. While we did not have concerns about safety - area around the hotel was not attractive. Beer and other drink prices were a bit high.

• Some rooms are smaller than most Marriott. I have stayed in but it¿s a historical classy hotel.

“Rooms were smaller than I thought they¿d be but the niceness of the staff and the great service I received well made up for the inconvenience of the smaller rooms. The hotel was built in the 1920`s and is a true work of art.”
