Perfect Stay

We stayed here to celebrate our 25th anniversary and are very glad we did. Beautiful property and rooms, great service. Impressed with the free breakfast which included high quality eggs, sausage, potatoes, belgian waffles and assortment of pastries. Best included breakfast we've had. Highly recommend and we plan on staying here again.

The Glidden House has become my new favorite property in Cleveland. The Glidden is unique and full of history. I love its distinctive history and feel. Location is a huge plus. An easy walk to museums, Little Italy, Case Western Reserve and the Cleveland Clinic. Perfect location in a scenic location. Staff is extremely friendly and rooms are spacious and well appointed.

Loved the music in the lobby! (1940’s) Great breakfast choices/variety- sausage and waffles were delicious. Lovely setting and atmosphere. beautiful outdoor courtyard. Marveled at the historic details like the woodwork and ceiling. Wonderful to have a silent air conditioner, unlike most hotels. Great area with museums and restaurants nearby but hotel it self was very quiet. Can’t wait to return for longer stay!

For me, the location close to the Art museum was key. I absolutely love the original wood work and the periodesque furnishings in the common areas. It's charming.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay and would definitely stay again if we are in Cleveland. Everyone on staff was joyful and so kind. The property grounds are so relaxing and beautifully maintained. The small bar area was expensive but nice for a nightcap. Location: EXCELLENT! We walked to Little Italy for dinner and lunch and also walked just a few minutes to the museums. We took to Healthline bus to a Cleveland Guardians game (the RedLine track was being repaired, otherwise we would have taken that). We felt safe in the area - even when returning around 11:30pm after the baseball game. Room: A bit dated and a slight smell. The bathroom needs some updating. Bed was a queen with four pillows. Wifi signal was not as strong in the room. Coffee maker and bathroom amenities provided. Breakfast: Reminded us of a typical hotel breakfast. Potatoes, meat, eggs. Pastries (muffins, scones, waffles or french toast). Bread, bagels, oatmeal, yogurt and a some cut up fruit. Coffee, tea, juice. The breakfast area was beautiful - dining room, sun room or outside. Parking: We had an Expedia VIP perk with free parking. Parking lot was full each night. Overall a really nice stay in a hotel with charm, kind staff and an excellent location.

Overall, very nice historic building with excellent breakfast and very convenient to Case Western University. We were upgraded to suite but preferred the original 2 bed arrangement that was no longer available during our check-in time. Also, had some construction noise in the morning but the staff was friendly otherwise and very helpful
