Brownstone Inn Downtown

Dear Traveler,
Come spend a quiet, restful night—or many nights in my completely restored 1987 Townhouse located in downtown Cleveland, convenient to fine and casual restaurants, entertainment and business areas, hospitals, museums, universities and cathedrals. The Brownstone Inn sits in the center of it all!

I can give you one of two large front rooms with sitting areas or one of three medium-sized rooms. You will have a complete private bathroom and given a robe to wear to and from your room. In the morning, I will personally serve you a traditional American breakfast in a pleasant formal dining room where you can be casual and enjoy the other guests. A well-stocked kitchenette is available any hour of the day or night.

As you approach The Brownstone Inn on Prospect Avenue, you will find it easily identifiable from the adjoining four Brownstone doors by the peacock blue double entrance doors at the top of the stone steps. And, just in front on the tree lawn, notice America’s largest Elm Tree dating to 1860, designated by a placque.

Entering through that peacock blue door you will step into the vestibule with handcrafted opulence representative of a 19th Century Victorian brownstone home. On the walls of the grand foyer and on the stairway you will see elegant patented French period wallpaper, applied in 1976 when this 4-story brownstone was renovated in honor of America’s 200th bicentennial celebration.

To your immediate left through tall arched pocket doors is the parlor with comfortable couches, a reading lamp, and an old working Jewett and Goodman pump-organ. A relaxation room where you will also find the daily New York Times. To your right and through another pocket door is the grand foyer, and just beyond is the large Red Dining Room boasting a traditional marble fireplace. This is where breakfast is served.

Come. Enjoy. And let me teach you some of Cleveland’s history.

Mr. Robin Yates
Innkeeper/Owner

To your left, through the tall arched pocket doors is the parlor. There are couches, a reading lamp, an old upright player piano and daily newspapers, making this a convenient place for you to linger.

To your right, through another pocket door, is the large Red Dining Room with its marble fireplace. This is where I'll serve you breakfast when the weather forbids eating on the deck. There are also fireplaces in the parlor, in the third-floor bridal suite and the fourth-floor large bedroom.

The kitchenette, where guests may help themselves at any hour.
