    delicious breakfast
    plumbing issue

    Went with a group of friends and had a fantastic time! We loved exploring the nearby museums and the Botanical Garden. The hotel was cozy, with a quaint vibe that made our stay extra special. Breakfast was delicious, and the staff was super friendly and helpful throughout our visit.

    Unfortunately, we experienced a plumbing issue one morning and had no water for a shower. While things like that happen, it would have been nice to receive an update or some bottled water as a courtesy.

    Comfortable Stay with Artistic Ambiance

    Our one-night stay offered a delightful blend of comfort and creativity. The breakfast featured artistic presentations, and the staff's friendliness topped it off. Be prepared for high beds if you have mobility concerns. Bring your own fruit, as the breakfast lacked a healthy option like fresh fruit.

    great location
    comfortable hotel
    generous breakfast
    chaotic parking

    Had a great time with my friends! We spent our days at the Metroparks Zoo, checking out animals from around the world, and exploring the botanical garden nearby. The hotel was perfectly located and very comfortable. Definitely recommend this spot for group trips. Pro tip, the breakfast is generous, but getting there early might help you avoid the rush.

    The only downside was the parking situation. It felt a bit chaotic with limited oversight, making us a bit uneasy returning to the hotel at night.

    cozy hotel
    delicious breakfast
    friendly staff
    noise disturbance

    Had a great time here with friends! We visited the Metroparks Zoo and the Botanical Garden, both close by. The hotel was cozy, staff was friendly, and breakfast was delicious. I recommend using the free parking if it's available, but expect some events to crowd the common areas.

    We encountered noise from a wedding happening during our stay. It made our experience a bit chaotic at times, especially when trying to enjoy the bar.

    art museum access

    The proximity to art museums was a big plus; I mean, I'm there to appreciate the finer things, right? and the breakfast crew, those people were super friendly, made my mornings better.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but it was acceptable for what I got.

    great location
    comfortable room
    excellent breakfast
    tight parking
    additional cost

    The Glidden House's location is outstanding, just steps away from renowned art museums and a beautiful botanical garden. My room was comfortable and impeccably clean, creating a pleasant atmosphere for my stay. The availability of hot water for tea and coffee throughout the day was a thoughtful touch, especially since it was a bit chilly outside. The breakfast served was exceptional, with a variety of choices that made for a great start to the day.

    Parking was tight and incurs a fee.

    I was impressed by the lovely view from my window and how everything I wanted to do, like visiting the Cleveland Museum of Art and strolling through Wade Oval, was just a short walk away, which made my stay here feel truly special as single traveler who loves city adventures.

    We had a great time exploring the nearby Cleveland Museum of Art and the Botanical Garden. Our room was spacious, with comfortable beds, making it perfect for relaxing after our family adventures. The staff were super friendly, especially Louise, who made us feel so welcomed.

    In my wife's opinion, the breakfast was lacking in quality. We would have liked more family-friendly food options available each morning.
