Fantastic location and lovely staff
Pros:

We love the location and historic appeal of the Glidden House. So much is walkable, including the Cleveland Museum of Art and a wonderful restaurant, L’ Albatros. It is a lovely neighborhood and part of the Case campus.

Cons:

A nice renovation has been started but our bathroom still had an older tub/ shower. There are no grips in the bottom of the tub or bars and that felt a bit unsafe. But… lovely view of the garden from our room and terrific electric window shades that allow both light and privacy.

Delightful place, warmly welcoming staff, great ambiance--I loved it!
Pros:

Hotel is a beautiful historic building in excellent condition. The rooms were large; enough for my sister and me to not feel cramped. Everything was spotlessly clean. Staff was welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. Location was perfect as were were visitng the Cleveland Museum of Art. Breakfast was delicious! I would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

it was perfect!

A friendly restful stay in a historic property near beautiful parks and museums.
Pros:

The breakfast was good. Tasty scones. The food was pretty average but the setting is lovely.

Cons:

My only (small) disappointment was the old under the window HVAC unit. It always amazes me that so many American hotels use these things when Mitsubishi splits are quieter and more efficient. I would have thought a historic property would have a better ventilation system. But the room was spacious, comfy and well appointed.

A Great Stay in a Historic Hotel
Pros:

We spent 2 nights at the Glidden House while visiting Cleveland. The Hotel is lovely, in a former mansion, right near Case Western University and the museum district. It is also very close to Little Italy. The rooms are lovely, well appointed and comfortable. There is a patio on the side of the building which is great for relaxing and enjoying a book or the newspaper on a warm day and a small bar in the lobby for cocktails. Breakfast is served daily and was OK. Choices included eggs, potatoes, bacon, toast, pastries and muffins, fruit and oatmeal. The eggs and other items were lukewarm at best and probably could do with a different way of keeping things heated. The hotel is very quiet at night. Diners have a choice to eat in a dining room or a sun room just off where the food is served. The sunroom is lovely and the best choice. There is parking available on site for a fee.
