    What memories are made of

    March 31, 2013

    we both thoroughly enjoy the personal welcome from Diane, the staff attention to detail & the warm atmosphere of the J. Palen House B&B (The Webster RM). we will certainly speak highly of our stay to friends & family and would recommend it to those seeking commendations with turn-of-the-century charm with updated comforts. The location offered may options for shopping & restaurants within minutes of the front door an easy drive to all of the Cleveland Metro area activities & venues.....

    A hidden gem!

    February 05, 2013

    We went here for our two day honeymoon but I wish we could have stayed a week! We stayed in the Miller Suite and fell in love from the moment we walked in! The entire space was gorgeous and decorated adorably. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud and the shower could put you in a trans. Everything was so clean too! I even have to comment about the free bath products I took with us - INCREDIBLE! I went home and googled them to buy them myself! We enjoyed breakfast our first morning and it was divine!! Thank you J. Palen house - we WILL be back!!

    This B&B is a Must Visit

    January 29, 2013

    The J Palen House was the perfect location for our overnight stay having plans to visit the Cleveland Boat Show in mid-January at the I-X Center and the West Side Market on Cleveland's west side. From our arrival until our departure, Diane was no ordinary host as she tuned in to your interests and reasons for visiting. Her suggestions on restaurants, night life and shopping were spot on and we had nothing but great experiences. All within a few blocks walking distance from the J. Palen, we enjoyed quenching our thirsts with a variety of beers from several, yes several, of their local breweries. Before we turned in for the night in the Webster Room, a plateful of melt-in-your-mouth homemade chocolate chip cookes were waiting for us in the lobby, but with some will power we left a few for the other guests. Diane and Jim served a yummy breakfast before we headed to the West Side Market which was an unbelievable shopping experience with many vendors offering fresh meats, baked goods, seafood, fruits and vegetables, cheeses and ethnic foods. Before heading back to Buffalo, we enjoyed an awesome burger and fries at Bar Cento and picked up some napoleons from Farkas Bakery and Pastries as suggested by Diane and strongly recommended by us.

    My husband and I recently stayed here when we were in Cleveland to visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We loved this charming B & B and found the location to be super! I accidentally left a book in our room and when I called Diane to locate it, she was quick to mail it back to me. We will definitely be back!

    The Miller Suite at J Palen House

    October 18, 2012

    I needed a place to stay while visiting Cleveland for a day trip and didn't want to stay in a boring hotel. Luckily the J Palen House had a room available. It is located in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleveland just a short walk to the historic West Side Market and very close to downton. The Miller Suite takes up the entire top floor. It was probably more space than I needed, but it was very comfortable and charming. The breakfast was fabulous as was the conversation with the other guests. The J Palen House is an excellent choice for a stay in Cleveland.

    I LOVE SCOTT!

    October 08, 2012

    I had never been to a Bed& Breakfast before, I wanted this night to be special for my husband. Scott helped me set the room up to be a romantic love nest. He made me these beautiful dipped strawberries. Champagne on ice, Grapes, Cheese, in a beautiful set up , With rose petals in the bath tub. Scott also put Happy birthday Kevin on the chalk board to the room. Scott has a great sense of holiday decor the home was beautifully decorated. The breakfast was sooo good that I had to call and ask for the recipe, so I could make this delicious cliche at home(spelling). Scott made it so much more fabulous. Sending a shot out to you Scott, Its that time again, but I am always looking for something different to do. But I would definitely recommend this to anyone, Teresa and Kevin....

    Stay - it's a nice place.

    July 31, 2012

    My wife & I and another couple stayed for a long weekend and had a truly wonderful visit. The rooms were super clean and very comfortable; and the atmosphere was relaxed. The west side market is nearby and downtown is only a five minute drive away. Cleveland really is America's best-kept-secret; there are so many neat places from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to the museums and Little Italy. Prices are very reasonable too. Go... you will enjoy.
