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,

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...

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,

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...

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...

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!

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...

we spent 2 weeks at the resort and loved the location. You can't beat right on the beach! The staff was exceptional...Kitty and Glen and our room attendant. We were well taken care of..spoiled.

Thanks so much for the kind remarks, I will pass them on to Kitty & Glen

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...

Dear Jim:
Thanks very much for the kind review...you are correct that we are an older property, but we complete renovations every year...2011: The 20 Gulf front Lanai suites, 2010: the 27 Bermuda Suites, etc...We are pleased that you were happy with all the various amenities and services that we offer on site and the 70+ restaurants within a short...

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.

Great hotel - we have stayed here several times! The staff is VERY friendly, the rooms are clean and the location can't be beat! Right in the middle of St. Pete Beach - walking distance to everything! Great restaurants across the street! Highly recommend Skidders (see my review for this amazing establishment!). Kitty - the bartender is AWESOME!!!! So fun...

Thanks very much for the kind review, I am pleased that you, like many more, love Skidders Restaurant, almost directly across the street from the Alden. Kitty, at the Alden Cabana Beach Bar, has been with us for over 10 years! All the guest love her and she returns the love!
We try hard to be very family friendly, and...
