The Glidden House
A gothic 1900s inn on the university campus
Cleveland, Cleveland
About this stay
Accessible parking covers arrival here, and the building itself is the real draw: a gothic-inspired structure from the early 1900s set directly on the Case Western Reserve University campus, a genuinely different register from downtown's business towers. Complimentary breakfast and free WiFi cover the basics, and rooms include a coffee machine and a 42-inch flat-screen TV alongside period architectural details rare at this scale. The Cleveland Museum of Art sits a short walk away, making this a strong pick for a University Circle stay built around academia and museums rather than downtown's stadiums or nightlife.

Our take
The gothic 1900s architecture is the standout here, a genuine historic register distinct from both downtown's business hotels and the newer University Circle suite properties. Complimentary breakfast keeps mornings simple before a day at the Cleveland Museum of Art, a short walk from the door. This suits visitors drawn to Case Western Reserve University or the museum district specifically; downtown's stadium district requires a proper drive from here.
- Book this one for the building itself, the gothic 1900s architecture is rare at this scale in Cleveland.
- Walk to the Cleveland Museum of Art from here rather than driving, it's a genuinely short distance.
- Expect a University Circle pace rather than downtown energy, this suits an academic or museum-focused stay best.
