This is your classic Florida beach hotel. Its not sexy/new, but for a family of 4, we really enjoyed it. Actually stayed at a higher rated one down the street for 2 more nights and like the Alden better for our family. Two teen boys, the beach is wide white sand, really nice, hotel has a basketball court, tennis courts,... More

We stayed at the Alden in January 2012. The location - right on the beach - was fabulous! Our room was clean and spacious and the staff was very accommodating. We enjoyed the pool and the pool bar. You can walk to lots of shops and restaurants. We will stay there again.

I stayed at the Alden for seven nights - 2/12 - 2/19/12. The Nassau Suite was nice - pretty clean and large. Problems noted by others in previous reviews is the noise level - too bad there isn't a night time Security person walking around as this might cut down on the loud guests. One night there was a yelling... More

It has no personality; with... More

I had an ocean front suite for the same price my friend paid for a regular room at Trade Winds Island Grand. The room was dated. Some rooms had flat screen tv's, but my room had regular tv's. It's nothing fancy on the inside, but you can not beat it for the price. I was happy to sacrifice the inside... More

There is not enough parking on this property. If you have a guest visit you, they will be towed at the owner's expense. Also disappointing, we found a roach in the room. I do not recommend this hotel.

We arrived early and yet we were given a room almost immediately. The staff was very personable & friendly. Our room was right on the gulf. (cant get any better than that) The room is very spacious with galley kitchen. The view was terrific, Tiki bar was good along with good bartenders.I thought the price was good also. I would... More

The Alden was a great hotel. The rooms were really nice and roomy. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Pool was clean and cool, beach access was great. The staff was really friendly, we arrived fairly early and the clerk was able to */change the room that they had for us to another room that for someone that... More
