Lovely old mansion in a park like setting. Breakfast was excellent, not just the delicious food but also relaxing in the sunroom and looking across the lawn to the botanical gardens and the museum of art. And the lady running things at breakfast was so sweet and helpful. It’s located on the Case Western Reserve campus, so there were plenty of walking opportunities. We’ll stay there again when in Cleveland.

The hotel is at a lovely central location, close to the botanical garden, museum of natural history and several universities. The hotel building itself is beautiful and takes you back to a different time period. The front desk and dining staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel room is spacious and the bed comfortable. Would love to return for a longer stay to explore the area.

Good - very friendly staff - convenient location to many museums - decent breakfast - part of hotel is a cool old house - clean Not good/odd: - in need of a renovation. Probably 10-15 years past due. Rooms are very tired and dated, esp. the bathrooms; broken glass in some of the heritage built-in cabinets shows owner doesn’t care much to update - housekeeping was loudly knocking on doors at 8:30 AM - odd touches that shows how dated this place is, like shower amenities with no shower gel and the tiny soap bar, as well as the folio in envelope put door at night

Classic and Quaint
Glidden House is special to my husband and me because we had our wedding reception there in 2006. And I had my doctoral graduation celebration there years ago. Glidden House is historic, charming and very close to some of Cleveland's finest attractions. That said, the staff are very helpful and attentive. Rooms are clean but not overly comfortable. Bathroom has limited counter space. Bed was a bit soft. Breakfasts are included and quite nice. The bar is small and lovely, but good service depends on who's the bartender. Inconsistent quality of drinks. Overall, a good value of you like being near University Circle action or Case Western Reserve University. Not the most modern in terms of decor or amenities.

Culture get away to Cleveland
The Glidden House if you love history and beautiful old architecture its fun to be in thus place.There is a newer section added so if you want to stay in the original house you should call the hotel. We stayed in Rm 201 I was disapointed by the mens shavings left/missed on the bath rm vanity 😬... this is your typical hotel room, with upgraded decor. It was a little noisy, but that was other guests mostly. The staff is very nice, the breakfast is excellent, as is the staff in this area as well, have a waffle to die for! It has its own parking which is worth the cost, as it is very expensive to park anywhere in the cleveland area, and or finding a spot to park. The museums & botanical gardens are right out the door and short walks away, its a beautiful area! Little Italy is a 12/15 minute walk. Definitely would stay here again.

Great trip! So many nice touches like complimentary glass of wine at the little bar and breakfast. The grounds of the hotel are very pretty with places to sit outside. I also went to a lovely French restaurant a block or two away, l’Albatros. So delicious!!

I have passed by this property dozens of times when in Cleveland and finally decided to stay at this location since we were going to the art museum. This property is right across the street from the botanical gardens, one block from the art museum and walkable to Euclid Ave, several museums and Little Italy. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had the option of eating our breakfast, which was included, either indoors or inside. The bed was very comfortable, The hotel has a European charm and the gardens and landscaping are gorgeous. This property is well-kept and I would definitely stay here again in the future.
