The hotel is charming and classy. Staff was always super courteous and helpful at all times. Only complaint we had was the size of the beds. The doubles were just a hair too small for sharing comfortably, but we chose to do so. Otherwise it was an amazing trip. Hotel is conveniently located near so many things to do in the area as well as the campus. Highly recommended

The Glidden House was everything we hoped for and more. Within walking distance of several excellent restaurants, with a concierge who was supremely proud of his city and enthusiastic to make sure we experienced it to the fullest, the hotel was a classic, well-preserved estate appointed with beautiful furnishings. The breakfast was great! The neighborhood is Case Western Reserve University with gorgeous buildings and campus. Loved the entire experience!

Easy check in and the parking was a plus. Very lovely and well maintained hotel. Breakfast was alright. Didn’t leave hungry but yet to stay anywhere where it knocked me off my feet. There was a nice coffee house next door and had a good brew. Walked to a restaurant for dinner in an area where we felt safe. Would stay here again.
