    The Botanical Gardens were just across the Mansion and insist see!

    The service was amazing and our stay was delightful. I travel the world and I have seen and eaten at a lot of places. I find Glidden House to be historically enchanting in a quiet and gorgeous college area. I do recommend the week and not the weekends when traveling here. We went to the Botanical Gardens and viewed the plethora of museums in the area. I recommend taking a day trip to the docks and enjoying some water boating on a warm summer day. The Rock & Roll Museum wasn't far and the hotel had its own haunted history filled with balls and excitement to cover any curious traveler!

    Dead bugs in every window and floor

    First off, the building and grounds are beautiful at Christmas time. We were excited to see the rest since the outside and lobby area was amazing! We stayed in room 321 which is a suite. $300 a night. For this price you would expect a clean room right? Nope. I opened the drawer of the nightstand next to the bed and found someone's nasty bra still there from a previous stay. Great...Every window shelf had dead bugs on them. Dead bugs on the carpet as well. Does nobody not know how to sweep and wipe off shelves? The queen bed is more like a double. In this particular room, lighting is AWFUL. Especially the bathroom. The shower is crazy weird. You have to physically get into the shower to turn on the water as it hits you with freezing cold water. You have to stay in the cold stream until you find the right temperature. There's no way of doing this another way! My husband and I both tried. Batteries in the bedroom remote were bad. We called down to the front desk and they apologized for the bra and bugs-that's it. We were looking forward to the breakfast and decided after eating semi warm eggs and frozen scones, just to cut our losses and head somewhere else for breakfast. What a shame. We planned this trip and really wanted to love this place. Will not be returning.

    The Glidden House is a fantastic venue for a wedding! The service is impeccable!!! We recently had our daughter's and son in law's wedding reception here. Carrie helped us set up our wedding and festivities and everything was absolutely perfect!!! The bridal suite is phenomenal and a fabulous place to take wedding photos! There's an area to do hair and makeup even with a large group of people! The venue is spacious!!! There's areas for all your needs, such as a setup for bridal pieces like the gift box and seating charts! There's a phenomenal area for the appetizers both inside and outside seating! The reception area is extraordinarily beautiful! There's room for plenty of guests, a band, dance floor and bar area! The Zack Bruell Restaurant Group catering led by Kim was fantastic! The bartenders are wonderful! The Glidden House is definitely top notch!!! I must also add that the rooms were fantastic! Very clean and roomy! Nicely decorated! There was also a well stocked breakfast with omelets, oatmeal, muffins, fruit and so on!

    Not only is this place super charming and adorable... the staff is fantastic! I must highlight Lex behind the bar,as crafted some phenomenal cocktails! Stop by for her seasonal cocktails : )

    We won an overnight stay at a fundraiser, so we were excited to have a quiet evening away from home. Glidden House is in a perfect spot to take advantage of The many amenities of University Circle, Larchmere, little Italy, even downtown Cleveland The hotel was beautiful. I loved how the original building was restored and was in awe of the dining room and foyer. Beautiful, historic details. Our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet and had lots of delicious options- baked egg cups, oatmeal bar, fruit, pastries, potatoes, sausage. I don't remember the name of the tea they buy, but It was delicious. We were a little surprised to be charged for parking, when we weren't told there was a charge. They could have mentioned that at check-in when they issued our parking pass.

    This is a super cozy, customer centered hotel located in university circle in Cleveland. It has a gatsby-esque feel, classy and elegant, with a story to tell. Service 5/5++ If you're ever in the area and need a place to stay, this is it. Arriving from the airport at 11am, with checkin at 3pm, the lady at the front desk offered to check for room availabilities immediately. We had originally booked a king room, and decided we'd prefer a double since one of us was sick, and we were provided one at no extra cost. No rooms were available, so we stored our luggage and were notified as soon as a room was free at 12:50pm. At night, an extra blanket was brought up to our door upon request. Breakfast, complimentary, was served buffet styled but waited upon as welll. Rooms 5/5 The building itself is clearly aged, but well upkept. Rooms are modernly furnished and super clean! Vintage rotary phones were in each room, as well as vintage decor. Very nice vibe. Clean towels and toiletries. Spacious. Breakfast 5/5 Lavazza single serve espressos!!! What a great way to start my day. Hot breakfast with quality China and silverware. Poached eggs, sweet potato pancakes, oatmeal bar, and pastries. Yummy. What an enjoyable stay.

    This was, by far, one of the nicest hotels we've stayed at. It's a gorgeous building filled with history. The lady at the front desk was welcoming and friendly. She checked us in and gave some recommendations for dinner. They have a small assortment of beverages, wine, beer, and snacks behind the desk, and at reasonable cost too. We got to our room and it was great. Clean, decent size, and had a very comfy bed. The bed is super high and they offer step stools. Bathroom amenities smelled very nice. Breakfast was included with our stay. It was probably the best hotel included breakfast we've ever had. Real fresh cooked eggs, well done bacon, fruit and yogurt, breads, cinnamon rolls, hash brown potatoes and special liege waffles. There was a fully stocked coffee/tea bar which is available 24hrs. Tables were spaced out nicely. We sat in the enclosed patio area. There was another juice/milk beverage station out there. Staff were efficient and friendly. We really enjoyed this place and hope to stay here for future visits to the area

    Discovered the Glidden House while researching colleges for my son... and I'd have to say that one of the reasons he wound up attending the Cleveland Institute of Art for a year & a half was due to the hospitality of the staff at the Glidden House. He's moved on, now... but we still return to this University circle gem whenever we have reason to visit Cleveland. It's always a welcome sight when we pull a chair at the bar and talk to "Doc" or learn how to fix the WiFi from James (one of the only low points from our last visit). Mornings at the Glidden is one of the favorite parts of my stay... there is a steady flow of people flowing in and out of the breakfast area. it's quite a meeting place for Case Western professors, doctors and patients visiting the Cleveland Clinic. Very convivial atmosphere! If you're hungry & in a time crunch you can order food from Sergios & have it at the bar or delivered to your room. Very nice, very delicious. Ask "Doc" to make one of his signature cocktails. But you'd better hurry! Once he's done with his studies and passes his practicals it's residency for him!

We were able to snag a couple of seats as 2 people were leaving. The place obviously lived up to its name. It's a vault, I get it... But what's cool about it was exploring all the extra rooms and booths. Certainly fun to get lost in it. I was also impressed by how festive it was. They were already decked out in Christmas decor, and the bartenders were in ugly Christmas sweaters. The cocktails were notably pricier than neighboring cocktail bars in the $16-$25 range. Their most expensive one was $35. I wanted to get The Safety Deposit, but they didn't have chartreuse at the time. I settled for the Post's Pom, which was nicely refreshing but overly sweet. My friend got the Cleveland Trust. It was tasty but also too sweet, and the charred dried orange killed the taste. My olfactory and taste senses were so confused. Can't say that The Vault was my favorite bar solely based on the quality of the cocktails, but can't beat the vibes.

I wanted to visit this venue for the longest time. I finally stopped in for the Cleveland Vintage Market hosted by the Cleveland Vibes. Ambiance: The space is huge - over 11,000 square feet of open space. There are remnants of Tenk Machine & Tool outside - a little mural. There is one ballrooms and separate rooms to the back of the event space. The vibes are industrial sophistication - gorgeous exposed brick walls, wood details, and abundant natural lighting. I can absolutely envision a wedding here with juxtaposition of delicate and rough. I love exposed brick walls, so for me the venue was just perfect. It was also just right for the Cleveland Vintage Market. It fit in plenty of vendors and attendees with still sufficient room to roam. Marigold Catering: There were sandwiches and cinnamon rolls for sale during the event offered by Marigold. I did not try either. I really enjoyed Marigold catered food at other events I've historically attended at other venues around the city. Service: I interacted with the security staff at this venue. They were so friendly and great at directing the foot traffic. Parking: Parking is available at a surface lot next door owned by Marigold. If you're up for a show walk, Nautica Pavilion is also a good parking choice. Ubering to this destination is pretty easy, GPS shows an accurate location. I look forward to visiting Tenk West Bank again! I hope that the venue hosts other events soon so that I can come back!

The pasta (Pellegrino/Pellipe) was just okay, nothing particularly memorable.They did bring out a complimentary fruit plate at the end, which was a nice gesture.Overall, while the service was solid, the food didn't meet expectations.

I've been attending events at the Union Club for over a year now and a half now (since Sept. 2024). I attend these events through the CCWA speaker events. Many great speakers have come to the Union Club to speak on global topics. The dinner served at the private speaker events that I've attended is always delicious. Normally there is a starting dish such as a salad, then a main course such as salmon, beef, or steak along with a side, and the meal ends with a dessert. The building is old but it has been well kept over the years. It does get cold inside sometimes so perhaps the old nature of the building is an issue with heating but I am not 100% sure. The chandeliers in some of the rooms are beautiful with intricate details. The great reading room is quiet and serene with plenty of comfortable seating. Their membership cost is high and is thus only for those who know they will utilize everything that the Union Club has to offer such as member events, the gym, etc. I am not a member but I enjoy attending CCWA events here and I can't wait to return again soon. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 47/250 total reviews in 2026 - 888 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 24 April 2026
