A beautiful 1910 house with elegant mansion decor on University Circle—an oasis in the middle of the city. A concierge greeted us. Our room was well-appointed, clean, and quiet; the bed was comfortable; and we liked the banquette where we could place most of our luggage for easy access. The VIP gift was a card for a free drink in the charming small bar on the main floor, and we enjoyed the experience. At breakfast we appreciated the real silverware and plates and the enclosed porch seating. We would return here in a trice.

I liked the house and the energy it gave off, but the only thing I didn’t like was that on the last day, they forgot to clean my room.

Short stay in Cleveland
Really neat place. The hotel staff was friendly and courteous. There was a full floor remodel going on, but it didn't start until after 9am and wrapped up daily around 5pm. Great location for museums, etc. Breakfast was delicious. We will definitely be returning.

Pillows—yikes—foamy and lumpy, too thick, need to upgrade. HVAC units a bit noisy. No lemons at the bar. But still my favorite place to stay.

Charged us for smoking in room, we didn't. Talked to manager, she took it off the bill, nice lady, said housekeeping found empty pack in trash. That's not smoking in room. I have receipt with charge removed. Charged my card anyway after we left. Now they won't return my calls what a scam.

Excellent location, walkable to museums, botanic garden, and CWRU. The room is not very big but clean and comfortable. The inside is tastefully decorated and the outside is a beautiful garden. The hot breakfast beats most hotels in the area.

I stay at the Glidden House every year during Labor Day weekend for my visit and it always impresses. The staff are very friendly, the breakfast is excellent, and the accommodations are comfortable. Great walking distance to the botanical garden, art museums, and case western historical society museum. Love this property and all of the historical aspects that come with it. Well-maintained just come stay here and find out for yourself what a gem it is!
