My family and I vacation in St Pete Beach every year. We vacation there for fun in the sun and not for the hotels. With that said, even when we had reason to stay inside for an extended period of time we found our suite at the Alden to be satisfactory. I will agree that the hotel needs some updating... more

I went with family and we had 5 rooms. Rooms are dark, a little smelly & the carpet is grubby. My mom had two bugs in her room one, the day before we left and one the day of departure & we had one the day of departure. Beach was nice and in spite of our disappointment with the rooms... more

The reservation agent worked with us to find a suite that would accomodate us and fit our... more

You can't always judge a book by it's cover, as they say. This goes for the Alden, as well.
