We spent a week at the Alden in the Nassau suite - chosen because it is the largest, with a separate living area (that can be closed off from the bedroom with a door) We found the suite well appointed, the kitchen has full sized fridge and dishwasher, apartment size stove and dishes, cookware and utensil essentials (supplemented with purchases...

Glad you are coming in March, the best month of the year! The key to any good stay at a hotel, is that if, by chance anything does not satisfy you and your family, PLEASE let the staff know ASAP so we can make things right Looking forward to seeing you in March, Gary Renfrow President & Part Owner More

Our family has been coming here for years. The newly updated rooms are quite refreshing. This is an old school family resort. If you're looking for five star amenities and room service this is not your place. However if your looking for super clean family friendly beach accommodations then look no further. We always get a ocean view room and... More

What a nice way of describing Alden Suites: "Old School Charm" We take great pride in our history of superior guest service, family friendly facilities, and the nicest suites on St. Pete Beach! Thanks for the "suite" review, R. Gary Renfrow President & part owner More

To escape Indianapolis during Super Bowl Weekend, my wife and I decided to try the Alden Beach Resort. We have passed the property many times during our yearly trips to the Gulf Coast, but never stayed there. We are glad we did this time down! The property is pristine, as is the beach. The grounds are well maintained, the service... More

My family stayed at the Alden for 3 nights in late Jan 2012. It was nice -- the Nassau Suite was large enough for 2 adults and 3 teens. We got a room on the 6th floor which gave us a bit of a Gulf view from the balcony and meant we heard less pool area noise. The balcony faced... More

Thanks very much for the nice review! The Poolside Nassau Suite is perfect for families, in that it is our largest suite, very affordable, and has a full size kitchen. I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us, please come see us again soon! Sincerely, Gary Renfrow, President & part owner More

The Alden offers none of the services and amenities that a real resort has. The place doesn't even have a restaurant on site. I've stayed all over St Pete Beach and I would rank Alden near the bottom. And the outside of the property looks dated and weathered. You will not get a good return on the money you spend... More

As most of the hotels along Ocean Blvd on St Pete beach, The Alden is an older property but nicely well kept with ongoing improvements. The location is directly on the beach and the rooms facing the golf are nice. There is plenty of room for two and addition sleeping space with the pull out couch. Two tvs, one in... More

My wife and I visited St. Petes Beach for my birthday and stayed at the Alden. I like to shore fish and this was a great centrally located place. The hotel was great, very clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly with a special thanks to Pauline at the snack shop for all her help. More
