Loved it last year, and came back again this year for a night (after the Tough Mudder in Amherst). We stayed in The Retreat, which could also be called The Awesome. Super clean, tastefully decorated loft room with a spacious bathroom that includes a jacuzzi tub. Quiet neighborhood. And next morning, an excellent 3-course breakfast at the main J. Palen... More

Great place to stay in the "Ohio City" section of Cleveland, and it is within 15 minutes driving time from the Clinic, has great restaurants within a few steps, and is very quiet & very clean.

Many B&Bs that I have visited are full of Victorian-era junk from floor to ceiling--the J. Palen House is NOT one of them!

Snacks and drinks were provided in the room and Diane the owner was friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious (apple french toast, yogurt and fruit), but... More

In order to safely celebrate St. Patrick's Day (drinking, no driving!) my husband and I along with another couple booked two rooms here for that eveing. We actually did the same last year, but for two nights. J. Palen House is in a great location to enjoy Cleveland's Ohio City, West Side Market, Great Lakes Brewing Company and the many... More

Stayed for a birthday weekend getaway. Diane is incredibly warm and welcoming, the rooms are absolutely wonderful, warm and cozy! Breakfast on Sunday morning was delicious! Cannot wait to return! Also, it was so convenient to go out to dinner in Ohio City, right in the heart of everywhere you want to be. More
