Glidden House is my second home. I come to Cleveland to avail myself of its fine cultural institutions, most of which are within easy walking distance of GH. The hotel offers the amenities common to most hotels (although the breakfast stands alone). Most importantly to me, it has what typical hotels of our day lack: charm and character.

The front desk people were very helpful but the breakfast staff were unfriendly and unsmiling. The rooms were very quiet and comfortable. A very good location near the art events and museums.

The hotel needs to provide a better quality breakfast and, ideally, all-day restaurant service.

Outstanding!!!

Our stay was amazing! The customer service was outstanding. I was traveling with my niece and nephew, and we were so welcomed by the front desk and by the other employees at the hotel. The amenities offered were amazing. Free parking, complementary, hot, chocolate, complementary breakfast. We were able to leave our car for a few hours after check out to explore the area. We plan to return very soon.

We had a great stay. It was very snowy and cold, but we could walk to many local attractions and the hotel always had coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available. Room was good and hotel was unique.
