Pros:

The building itself is beautiful, especially the breakfast area. The breakfast was good' there were a lot of options, but the atmosphere was the best part. The hotel was also in a good location on the college campus. It was easy to walk to the many nearby attractions, like the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Lots of character!
Pros:

The Glidden House is a great place for a short stay. Very different to the usual chain hotels, the building and interior spaces are very charming and have lots of character. Our room was clean and had comfy beds. Breakfast was good too - nothing to rave about - and pretty standard fare but the setting makes it seem more fancy! Overall would stay here again and loved the central location, walking distance from museums and the University. Perfect if you’re in town for a college tour.

Decent for the price, but the room needs updating.
Pros:

The property is close to everything I need when I stay. The staff are always friendly and polite. The soaps in the guest rooms are wonderful and overall the decor is stylish

Cons:

The rooms could be cleaner. The sconces in the bathroom are covered in months worth of dust. The finish on the mirror frame is coming off. The edges of the bathroom door show obvious signs of water damage. The opening of the sink drain had a gray circle around it indicating it hadn’t properly been cleaned. The bedding has no comforter. Instead there’s a thin, foam-like blanket with an even thinner sheet on top of that. The iron had something burned onto it and I almost ruined my pants before I noticed. Lastly, the elevator smelled like a subway station.
