I loved this hotel. We stayed there in April for spring break (only an hour from where we live) but we wanted to check out a hotel on the beach. The staff was very friendly & our room was wonderful. So, when I received an email a short time later with a deal for returning guests, I couldn't pass it... more

I found the Alden to be a nice place for the price, however it's no hilton but to be that close to the beach with a suite for the lower price was nice more

We stayed at the Alden for a week in June. Great place right on the beach, our kids, 13, 11 and 8 had a great time. Pools were nice, grounds were well kept and the beach was awesome! We had a beach view on the 5th floor and it was perfect in terms of the view. The Alden is not... more

We have traveled to the Alden Beach Resort for three years, and love the location, the pools, and the Gulf beach. This resort offers a full kitchen in the suite, so we were not dependent on finding a restaurant for every meal. The staff are very helpful and familiar with the area, so even though we arrived at midnight, the... more

We stayed in the Nassau suite at the Alden, though not one of the renovated ones. Good value for a beachside hotel. Plenty of room, you enter the bedroom first, two queen beds, very comfy. The large living room included a - very useful - double sofa bed, kitchen area with a dishwasher, very large fridge-freezer that made its own... more

We've been to St Pete Beach before, but usually stayed at a larger hotel - this time we chose the Alden because of the good reviews it had gotten. The hotel is not the newest or the prettiest on the strip, but the grounds are well kept, the staff is awesome and it's small enough to make you feel "at... more

My first time to St Pete Beach and was glad I found this resort. Perfect location on the beach which seemed right in the heart of the area. I was able to walk to several different casual bars and restaurants. Everyone at the front desk was very friendly and always eager to assist with any questions. Definitely will return! more

The Alden was a nice place, We stayed 3 nights in a Bermuda Suite on the 2nd floor. The room was spacious, lots of room for our 2 year old to run around. The decor was really dated. The room overall was clean, but the carpet was gross. Our feet were dirty after walking on the carpet barefoot. I'm sure... more

We have travelled to St. Pete beach on 7 different occasions but never stayed in a gulf side hotel until our last visit in May '09. Chose the Alden based on reviews, price etc but unfortunately we were very disappointed. Location is great, hotel is basic enough but the complete lack of sound proofing between floors completely ruined our week.... more
