J Palen House - Cleveland, Ohio

So enjoyed our stay here! Randomly picked Cleveland for a friend meet up place to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. This was the perfect place to stay in the picturesque Ohio City neighborhood - walkable to breweries, coffee shops, eateries, West Side Market and more. The b&b was so cozy and charming with fresh local food and lovely small touches. Perfect combination of fun and excitement with relaxation for a weekend getaway. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We stayed at J. Palen House Bed and Breakfast for 5 nights while visiting family and friends in Cleveland OH. The Bed and Breakfast is excellent, with extremely comfortable beds, great breakfast and lovely hosts. Doug helped us with our luggage, ensured that we had parking on the street, and offered to drive us if we needed to get somewhere other than where we had planned. Diane, one of the hosts solved an airline reservation problem that we had for our departure flight and this saved us a lot of time, trouble, and worry about how to fix the problem. ||Overall, it was a great experience.

My wife and I spent 3 wonderful nights at J Palen House. It was our 1st trip to Cleveland and the neighborhood was a perfect welcome to our 10 day trip to the Midwest. Quiet, calm area that had a small town charm even though it is right across the bridge from a major downtown area. As for the stay it could not have been more perfect. The hospitality was warming, the room/sleeping area was very comfortable. Had coffee on the patio every morning. Breakfast was the best part. Homemade every day and a different selection of fresh fruit, baked goods, and a main dish each day. For anyone looking to escape the noise and anxiety of daily life I would reccomend staying at the J Palen House to unplug and unwind. Thank you Diane and Doug. Also thank you Charen for the daily touch ups.

Diane and Doug are tremendous hosts in a very special place. No detail was left undone.

We were greeted warmly and introduced to our room and all its luxurious amenities. This is a wonderful base for exploring Ohio City!

If we could rate this a 10 out of 5, we would. The Roost was absolutely amazing in every way, and Dianne and Doug were perfect hosts. We had a nice chat with both of them. Beautiful, quite neighborhood, walking distance to everything you need. The room, private patio, loft bedroom, breakfast, treats, gardens, everything was just charming and beautiful. It was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. We will definitely return.

Absolutely loved our stay. The Roost was beautiful, very clean, and the hosts were great. The rain put a damper on the use of the charming private patio. Exceeded our expectations. We cannot wait to go back for another long stay at the J Palen House.

This is a wonderful B&B, perfectly situated in Ohio City, mere minutes from downtown Cleveland. Located in a quiet, adorable neighborhood, with restaurants, coffee shops, and book stores/antique shops merely footsteps away, We even walked to Progressive Field for the Guardians game one night (Basically a 20 minute walk with great views of the city as you walk over the bridge).|My husband and I stayed for three nights in the Roost; it was charmingly appointed, clean (my biggest need/requirement anywhere I stay), and cozy. I want to mention two positives that make this B&B a standout from others where I've stayed: |1) The breakfast is placed in the refrigerator of your room to heat up for the next day and comes with a typed menu, as well as heating instructions for the oven or microwave. This gives guests the flexibility to eat breakfast at a time that works best for your schedule, rather than being locked into when breakfast is served at a typical B&B. |2) Diane, the owner, has literally thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. For example, I said to myself on the first day, "Oh I need to be sure to fill the K-Cup dispenser with water, so it's ready for coffee in the AM. Oh wait, it's already done!" Next, "Hmm, It's kind of muggy/buggy outside, let me grab the bug spray from my suitcase-oh, wait, Diane left some bug spray on the counter for us!" And finally, "Ugh I have so many gadgets that need charging, where can I-Oh, there's a whole charging strip here under the TV." It is clear that Diane clearly cares about her guest's comfort and it's that proactive planning that makes this B&B a must-stay.
