What a terrific place to stay in an old neighborhood of yesteryear. It was like walking back to a simpler time where people neighbored, walked their dogs, and spent time together at local pubs. It was a restful respite from the intensity of life with good food, excellent lodging, and great fellowship.

Situated perfectly about three blocks from the West Side Market and everything on W. 25th St. Superb renovation of older, brick homes tucked down leafy Ohio City streets includes deluxe finishes in the suites, especially the bathrooms. The common space is very comfortable, especially in warmer months when you can take advantage of the bricked backyard space and dining areas.... More

Really enjoyed our stay in "The Roost." A relaxing retreat with everything you could need for your comfort. Enjoyable court yard. Close to many restaurants within walking distance.

My wife and I recently stayed at the J. Palen House for our anniversary. We stayed in a two story apartment called the Roost. It turns out to have been a Blacksmith shop in it's day and now serves as one of the available rooms for the Palen House B&B. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was very helpful... More

A co-worker and I on an overnight trip to Cleveland each had a beautiful room and stay at the J. Palen House in the "Ohio City" section of Cleveland. The location was selected for its proximity to our business, however the B & B is within a 3 minute walk to the Westside Market, and a great selection of restaurants... More
