Charming, historic inn with beautiful colonial decor in the public areas. Is the kind of place you expect fluffy down pillows and comforters, but instead had foam pillows and thin polyester blankets that you get in low-end hotel. Small breakfast buffet with mediocre food. Friendly and helpful staff. Didn't have VIP room upgrade so gave us free snacks instead. Lawnmower outside room at 7 a.m. Didn't put do not disturb sign on door since every hotel I have ever stayed in doesn't do maid service until after the check out time. This place, however, has the maid knock on the door at 9 a.m. to see if you have checked out. So much for sleeping late!

Overpriced and unsatisfying
The room thermostat was set to cool at 74 degrees but kept cycling every ten minutes and making a terrible noise that kept us up all night. The bottle of wine we purchased was only mediocre and priced at five times the retail price. The concierge didn’t tell us anything about how close Little Italy was for dinner and instead referred us to the Euclid Avenue restaurants where we had a mediocre meal. The hotel rate was overpriced for the experience. I came away feeling disappointed and unsatisfied after really looking forward to staying at an historic and original hotel. I would not return.

An attractive building in an interesting area. Computer wasn't working, so there was a little trouble checking in but it was resolved quickly and graciously. Absolutely fantastic meal at L'Abatros, around the corner... worth a drive to Cleveland for that! Overall very pleasant stay.

It was a cute and quiet property . Bar was closed and there were some renovations going on but overall it was a nice stay. I did expect the rooms to have been a little cleaner as there was hair in the shower but overall it was nice

Gem of CLE in University Circle.
What a fantastic little place nestled in the middle of all the museums in Cleveland. Everything was in walking distance! The breakfast was delicious and much better than any other continental breakfast included in the stay amongst other hotels I’ve stayed at. An absolute treat.

The Inn is charming and the location is wonderful. Great breakfast - many choices, blueberry scones that had a crisp coating, fresh fruit bowl - pineapple, orange slices, melon,grapes, etc, oatmeal and Greek yogurt with amazing toppings.
