What a gem! The Glidden House is an historic hotel located within easy walking distance of the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Natural History Museum. The location is fantastic of course, and our room was comfortable, clean, and very attractive. But the friendly, it was the helpful reception my wife and I found there that really set the Glidden House apart from other hotels. The person who checked us in and another employee went out of their way to determine what we wanted to do during our stay and gave us many helpful suggestions. Highly recommended.

We just checked in at 4:45 and so far it's been great. Just a little trouble finding the place - Google maps was a little inconsistent. At The AC/DC concert now. It's freaking fantastic!! Waiting for them to take the stage.

The Glidden house is an amazing place to stay. The only issue is location. Crime everywhere. Vehicles were broke into in their lot, but the staff was over generous with help. Overall, an excellent hotel.
