This was right in the middle of everywhere we needed to go and had no trouble getting around. And the breakfast was second to none!
Historic landmark, friendly staff, great location, close to museums and in the middle of Case Western.
I just returned from the Glidden House. Stayed to participate in a course at Case Western. The locations as terrific! The staff and the breakfast were the 2 highlights of my stay - definitely the best I have seen in 15 years of Business travel. It really felt close to home. Will most definitely stay here again.
Perfectly lovely place, but room walls are thin and there is not enough light in most of the room. Two compact fluorescents make room too dark. Breakfast excellent.
It's a great boutique hotel. The staff is super friendly and professional. The breakfast is worth the stay alone! Can not beat it it!
The hotel staff were so friendly and informative. The breakfast is excellent. And the location by several of Cleveland’s art museums cannot be beat.
Super convenient to University Circle with the schools, museums and shopping. The hotel is a good combination of modern hotel and comfortable old inn. The breakfast is incredible.
We loved our stay at the Glidden House! Our room was spacious, immaculate, quiet and very comfortable. The staff couldn't have been more gracious and friendly. And the breakfast buffet offered many delicious choices every morning. (They even had soy milk - a real plus for one of us who can't drink regular milk.) All this in a beautiful historic building filled with art - what a treat to just walk downstairs and see all this every morning. The location was also ideal: on the edge of the Case Western campus and right across the street from the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, the Art Museum, and the Museum of Natural History. We loved every second of our visit and highly recommend The Glidden House. If we ever return, we'll be staying there again.
excellent location--had a delightful, relaxing stay. would definitely return next time we are in Cleveland
Hotel was very romantic and had a fascinating historical story. Very Clean. Two employees made our trip more special, Events Coordinator - Louise and Bartender - William. Loved happy hour each evening. Walking distance to so many places and restaurants.
Did not know how to print my prebill with correct reduced Orbitz rate, figured it out by departure check out with correct bill at correct rate. Got home & learned that my bank account was overdrawn by incorrect rate plus taxes ($50 approximately). We'll see if they can process a refund correctly.
Festively decorated for the holidays, Glidden House is a gem of old world Cleveland. Conveniently located within walking distance of the Botanical Gardens, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum, Museum of Music, and a diversity of restaurants.
Charming small hotel on Case Western University campus. Beautiful surroundings. It is a pleasant, five minute walk from the hotel to the Cleveland Art Museum, on the campus. The room was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and professional.
The staff was very accomodating to me, the actual hotel was so beautiful inside and out, and their breakfast was delicious.
I loved our stay & would have loved to stay another night. Located on Case Western Reserve's campus, it was the perfect hotel for my daughter's campus visit. The staff was friendly. The hotel was quiet. The room was comfortable with a good shower and comfy bed. The Italian restaurant next door was yummy (but a little expensive). The complimentary breakfast was delicious. I can't say anything negative about Glidden House!
I had a wonderful stay at your exquisite hotel. Everything was clean, neat, and lovely. James went out of his way to find me a gift bag for my grandson's present. Louise and Susanne were so helpful when my room key didn't work. You have a wonderful staff; thry are kind, caring, helpful, and friendly to everyone. I wish that I had the opportunity to return to Cleveland just to stay at your wonderful hotel. Thank you!
Charming and beautiful victorian hotel. Great breakfast. Loved francis kavanaugh glidden suite.
Quiet on a Sunday evening. Good cold breakfast. Did not try the "hot" items, which looked lukewarm. Desk people were helpful--but not all were friendly.
Enjoyed our stay. Great location, walking distance to museums and great restaurants in Little Italy.
Good small hotel. Nice italian restaurant next door. Good breakfast in hotel
