St. Pete's Beach is the place to go! If you want a little sight seeing, then hop a trolley and take off. I just returned after a five day stay at this resort. I had the Gulf Front King Suite. It is a very clean hotel and well stocked with whatever you need. Staff are very nice. The beach -... More

We just finished a week stay at this resort and really enjoyed ourselves. The rooms were very clean and well stocked with extra towels and wash cloths, kitchen supplies, etc. The 2 pools were super clean and we also enjoyed the hot tub. The beach area was very clean and wide. Good location. Would definitely return or recommend to friends... More

This is a very large facility and basically has two parts. One is the high rise on the beach, then the less expensive rooms behind that. We stayed in the less expensive section but were really pleased with our suites, access and parking. There is ample parking very close to your room with controlled in and out, so always seemed...

We rented a Gulf front king room. The beaches in this part of west Florida are quite wide so even with Gulf front, you still have a bit of a walk to get to the water's edge, but the view is unobstructed. Lower units offer easy access to the beach, but higher units offer a slightly better view. The beds... More

Our second year at the Alden. People that stay here know what they want on a vacation and come again and again. Beach front room is nice but not always what everybody needs. We have received the smaller balcony beach front for two years. Everything you need is here. Did enjoy getting back to my own mattress ..smaller hotels don't... More

Is Cali still working at the beach front bar? We were there last September and she made our trip for us. I'm returning in June to get married and would love to take the group down to the bar and have her fixs us up one of her famous Rum Runners!

Wedding reception outside on a Saturday night and people occupied the outside bar. Extremely loud until 1am couldn't take it anymore, called front desk. They sent security (yeah right). At 2:30 a.m. called again and security finally shut the lights off on the bar, sent the people back to their rooms. A lot of smokers, a girl almost drowned (but... More

One of the best places to stay in the St. Pete/ Clearwater area. Try to get a beach front room, not a Bermuda room. You will like the beach bar and the white sand beach. The bartenders are great and there are lots of great restaurants around.

I booked with Travelocity for the Gulf front room, due to the hotel itself not matching the price found on the web, even though they say they do. And now I am scared, our family will be put in the same situation. We stayed at the Alden before and had a Run of the House room, but was booked thru... More
