This was our second time staying at this hotel because we really liked it. However, this stay was a disappointing experience. The front desk assigned us a connecting room, and the guests next door had a large group of people. They kept talking loudly until midnight, which made it impossible for us to sleep. We called the front desk for help, but it seemed like no one was able to assist us.

This historic building is a fantastic location to walk to the different museums on Wade Oval, walk to the symphony (always felt safe walking back after dark), checking out the restaurants on Euclid or in Little Italy where it's easier to walk, or just check out Case Western Reserve. Hidden gem with dedicated staff and great breakfast buffet. Stay here!

Glidden House is such a charming property with staff to match! Clean, comfortable rooms and public spaces that invite you to sit and relax with a glass of wine. Exceptional staff, Roger at the front door/desk actually escorted us to Little Italy so we could enjoy an authentic Italian dinner. The complimentary breakfast was well beyond the standard hotel fare, again served by a staff that was friendly and accommodating. The Glidden House is a little gem located in the middle of Cleveland’s cultural district.

This was an amazing place to stay. For one the historical factor and the preservation of the home is unique and beautiful. It is in a great location and within walking distance to many museums and the italian district with other food options close by as well. The grounds are well kept. There is parking on site so that is a plus. Small bar and an outdoor patio area which is secluded and pleasantly quiet. The breakfast was way more than just your average continental breakfast and well prepared. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They have a concierge to help with the luggage or questions as well as the front desk and bar staff. The morning crew helping with breakfast are on top of service. I would love to stay here again. It was definitely one of the best places ive stayed in awhile and i travel a lot. My only hesitation is the slight musty smell but it is an old home and some of that can not be avoided when staying in a historical location.

We had a wonderful stay at the Glidden House. The hotel is charming, cozy, and impeccably clean, with so much character. The location felt very safe and was perfect for our visit to Cleveland.

The breakfast was excellent, and what truly made our stay special was the staff. Everyone was phenomenal—from the front entrance team to the bar staff and breakfast service. A special thank you to James, the concierge, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We especially enjoyed chatting with him and appreciated the personal touch he brought to our stay.

The beautiful property and amazing breakfast make this the perfect place to spend a night or two in Cleveland. Walk to the Art Museum or a short Uber ride downtown.

Stopped in Cleveland on a road trip and stayed a night at the Glidden House. This place is so charming! After we arrived we grabbed a drink at the bar and enjoyed the patio, it was quiet and peaceful. This was the perfect place to stop after a long day on the road. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. We will definitely return on our next visit to Cleveland!

Our favorite stay in Cleveland! We spent many nights in various rooms over four years while our son attended Case Western. You can't beat the location. This is a small boutique hotel with wonderful character and the staff was always wonderful and helpful. Their breakfasts always delicious and the setting superb. We will miss this place!

The area around the hotel felt safe. little Italy is about a half mile away, plenty of restaurants there. Museums and a park is within walking distance.

We stayed in a Suite on the third floor. It was very quiet, no noise from the street or other hotel guests. Eating breakfast in the sunroom was nice.

We loved our stay. We drove in and parked and left the car for the two days we stayed and explored the Art Museum. The location is perfect to go see some art then go to the room for a break, and then back to the museum. We took advantage of both the coffee and tea available 24hrs, and even drink on the patio. Both nights were quiet and comfortable, we slept wonderfully. The shower was good, both of us had hot water and good pressure throughout. I would definitely stay again for an art museum get away next exhibition.

The breakfast is hit or miss really. I've stayed there several times. It is not consistent and the workers are rude. They should fire the bartender. She seems to hate her job.

It was an okay hotel or house it did give a historical presents which was nice but it was just okay nothing extravagant I mainly stayed here because the breakfast but that was the worst part the sausages were overcooked and just not a good selection of breakfast and I am a breakfast lover. The botanical garden was across the street and that was nice they have a late check out at 12:00 so that was nice but overall nothing to rave about and it was too expensive for one night.

The Glidden House property includes a lovely little bar, a gorgeous dining room, and a glass-enclosed porch. The location is excellent. We visited to attend free concerts/recitals at CIM, toured the free CMA, and dined in Little Italy.

We love the Glidden House and always stay there when in Cleveland. The only negative comment I have is the room we had this time had a door to an adjoining room. We could hear every cough, sneeze, and words of the couple in the adjoining room. I wanted to point this out to the staff, but we had to check out extremely early and no one was at the desk.
If you stay there, you will love the area, mansion, and breakfast along with the helpful staff.

The Glidden House is a beautiful and well-kept property. It is very clean, the staff are great [friendly and helpful] and the breakfast is terrific. We stay here at least once a year. The surrounding area is safe and is surrounded by the Botanical Gardens, the Art Museum and a Natural History Museum, a University and is very close to the main campus of Cleveland Clinic.

The hotel was perfect for me as I was in Cleveland to go to the Cleveland Museum of Art and Severance Hall. The museum, a 5 minute walk from Glidden House and a 7 minute walk to Severance. Only a 2 minute walk to the Botanical Gardens.
All the staff were friendly, professional and willing to help in any way.
The free breakfast was a major plus and you get to sit in one of the more historic and beautiful rooms of the mansion.
Case Western University surrounds the hotel, so you have other architecture and outdoor sculpture to see.
My room and bathroom were clean and well maintained. If you want to spend a bit more, I would recommend staying in one of the suites, in the converted mansion, as opposed to the addition. The rooms are larger.
For those wanting to see the Rock and Roll Museum, it’s a bit of a trek as the hotel is not close. Downtown is a good distance away.
Being spring, everything was in bloom. The Botanical Gardens were particularly beautiful as there are many gardens. The tulips, in various colors and varieties, were the best part.
When I return, I will stay at Glidden House.

The location is ideal for visiting CWRU. Everything is within walking distance. That’s its best quality! Otherwise, it seems an expensive option for few amenities. The outside and common rooms are charming, but the rooms are basic. No gym or restaurant; standard breakfast buffet you’d find in a less expensive hotel. The staff is very nice - especially housekeeping! I’ve never had a bad time here, just slightly underwhelming for the price.

The Glidden House is my favorite hotel. The comfort and cleanliness of the room, the excellence of the breakfast buffet, and most of all the professionalism and friendliness of the staff earn it 5 stars. I just wish they served bacon in the buffet.

The water in the shower/bathtub drained very slowly. Although the room had been cleaned, the soap in the shower area was missing. There was no conditioner, so I had to go down to the front desk to get some. Since there was only one person at the reception, I had to wait a very long time whenever someone else was ahead of me or staff is on the phon. Even when calling the reception from my room, it was difficult to get through because there was only one staff member on duty.
