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!

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.

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.

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.
