We truly enjoyed the charm of the Glidden house! The morning breakfast was exceptional and the check in staff were very helpful with questions about the area. They recommended walking to Little Italy for dinner and Mia Bella was amazing! Lots of places to walk to for food. We originally booked here bc it was ‘in walking distance’ of Cleveland Clinic. I do not recommend walking there. Much too far! Uber was so easy though!

Glidden Stay March 28, 2025

Our stay was great! Round the clock coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Breakfast buffet offered a variety of food. The only thing my family did not like is that there were ants everywhere on the heater and the chairs next to them. We had them crawling on us if we sat there.
