We stay at the Glidden House whenever we travel to Cleveland. It is within walking distance to several museums and Little Italy, with fabulous restaurants. We like the small facility, friendly staff, and fantastic buffet breakfast. Cozy bar area and artwork throughout is a nice touch. Great value as well.

The Glidden House is a beautiful and well-kept property. It is very clean, the staff are great [friendly and helpful] and the breakfast is terrific. We stay here at least once a year. The surrounding area is safe and is surrounded by the Botanical Gardens, the Art Museum and a Natural History Museum, a University and is very close to the main campus of Cleveland Clinic.
