This historic building is a fantastic location to walk to the different museums on Wade Oval, walk to the symphony (always felt safe walking back after dark), checking out the restaurants on Euclid or in Little Italy where it's easier to walk, or just check out Case Western Reserve. Hidden gem with dedicated staff and great breakfast buffet. Stay here!

Loved this well maintained historical hotel. Breakfast was wonderful. We enjoyed the patio as well. Beds were super comfortable which was important for my 82 yr old husband. Mirror in the bathroom was well lit for hair and make up. We came while getting treatment at the Cleveland Clinic which is less than a mile away.

The Gliden House is a unique property in Cleveland. I wish we had more time there, but were only passing through. The staff were all helpful and kind. Great location near museums and restaurants, and an easy walk to the RTA train into downtown Cleveland. We'll definitely return for more than one night!
