The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had never used Uber before and were guided through the process in a kind and successful manner. The breakfast was excellent. We looked forward to it every morning. Our room was tended to every day with a freshly made bed and clean towels. The location was perfect. We were able to visit some of the sights nearby, which were conveniently located. Many of them were within walking distance. We were also very close to the Cleveland Clinic, which was the reason for our stay. We highly recommend Glidden House for whatever reason you're visiting Cleveland

This was a wonderful way to end a road trip of cookie cutter chain hotels. The building is beautiful, the staff is helpful, and the room comfortable. The strong water pressure in the shower was nice. It's within walking distance of several museums and the restaurants of Little Italy.

The staff at the registration desk were outstanding!! Friendly and helpful. As was Roger, the bellman. The other staff we encountered [lounge attendant, and event staff we saw in the halls] were not friendly. THey gave the impression that I was invisible, even when they needed to move out of the hallway for me to pass. We took advantage of the complimentary drink and had to have someone hunt down a person to help us. She was borderline rude and not engaged in any customer service. Fortunately, the check-in staff and Roger made up for the attitudes of others. Such a shame as this is a nice place, lots of character and history, and close to so many great things in University Circle.

The hotel is charming and classy. Staff was always super courteous and helpful at all times. Only complaint we had was the size of the beds. The doubles were just a hair too small for sharing comfortably, but we chose to do so. Otherwise it was an amazing trip. Hotel is conveniently located near so many things to do in the area as well as the campus. Highly recommended

The Glidden House was everything we hoped for and more. Within walking distance of several excellent restaurants, with a concierge who was supremely proud of his city and enthusiastic to make sure we experienced it to the fullest, the hotel was a classic, well-preserved estate appointed with beautiful furnishings. The breakfast was great! The neighborhood is Case Western Reserve University with gorgeous buildings and campus. Loved the entire experience!
