The Glidden House

The Glidden House

The Glidden House is a beautiful hotel located in Cleveland, Ohio. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Everything about my stay there was wonderful.

The Room - The room as comfortably furnished and very clean. The carpet even looked freshly vacuumed and not worn. Downy comforter and plenty of pillows.

The Breakfast - Great variety. Granola, other cereals, a large pot of oatmeal, omelets, bacon, cold cuts, variety of fine pastries. Toppings for the oatmeal (or granola): raisins, dried cherries, brown sugar, etc. Milk and soy milk in pitchers for the cereal. Coffee and fine teas were available on a sideboard in the breakfast room. The teas were in dark wooden boxes and a very large selection was available.

The Service -  All the staff were nice. One of them frequented the main lobby and asked if help was needed with bringing in the bags.

The Location - Great. Located on the University Circle, easy walking distance to Case Western Reserve, the hospital, the botanical gardens, multiple museums, Wade Park, and Little Italy (a section of the town dedicated to Italian food and art shops).  This whole area is quite lovely with unique modern buildings, stone churches, and beautiful old buildings with "castlesque" features.

Additional comments: Parking in the University Circle is like that of downtown areas: curbside, parking structures, requiring payment. The Glidden House provides you with a parking pass and you are allowed to come and go, and leave your car parked there during the day even after you have checked out.
