Going to Cleveland Clinic every year makes this hotel our number 1 in the area. Clean, quiet and free breakfast. Parking is an additional $20 which we feel is a but much since we pay at the Cleveland Clinic too.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Glidden House. The property was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and the staff was pleasant throughout my stay. I also loved how conveniently located it was, with easy access to everything I needed while visiting Cleveland. The complimentary breakfast was perfect and delicious, and it was a great addition to the overall experience.

Conveniently located to Case campus. Very classic old school. Room air temps are hard to regulate. Our room was so humid that the bathroom mirrors were fogged up without even using showers. Breakfast was pretty good. We were surprised that Parking is an extra $15 fee per night. Front desk friendly.

Exceptional breakfast, not like anywhere in the area. Very kind and welcoming staff as well. The atmosphere both in the room and the lobby was great, it was cozy, and the vintage decor surrounding us felt like a nostalgic trip to the 50's. The beds in the room were the softest we've encountered so far, perfect for a stay after a long day of travelling. We would definitely recommend this place and, if blessed with an opportunity, stay here again.

The property and hotel were beautiful in a gorgeous part of town surrounded by museums, cozy coffee shop, and a park-like setting. The hotel breakfast was wonderful. The scrambled eggs, bacon and pastries were perfectly prepared. Convenient location and easy drive to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, concerts, and more. We cannot wait to return and stay again. Highly recommend!
