The Glidden House property includes a lovely little bar, a gorgeous dining room, and a glass-enclosed porch. The location is excellent. We visited to attend free concerts/recitals at CIM, toured the free CMA, and dined in Little Italy.
Pretty , historical housing with breakfast included. Right in the middle of CWRU makes visiting the college a breeze. Walking distance of all museums & botanical center.
The restored mansion is beautiful. It's location in a cultural area adds to its attraction. The room was very comfortable. The breakfast was very good.

Super clean, upscale, nice area close to little Italy and great staff. It will be my go-to moving forward when in Cleveland
We were there for a checkup at Cleveland Clinic. It was a lovely comfy place and so close to the clinic. It gave us a quiet relaxing evening before a busy day.
The entire building was very clean and very pretty. Staff was helpful and friendly. It is in a perfect area to walk to so many sites! Will definitely stay here again!
