Traveled 4 hours to go to an Astros game with my son. Booked Alden, showed up Saturday about 1pm. Got room right away. WOW! Booked a deluxe with double beds. Super room, very nicely outfittted and comfortable. A bit dismayed about the area surrounding the hotel, not much here. There is an Outreach Center across the street with lots of... more

Beautiful hotel and the restaurant was a real treat. We wanted coffee in the morning, so I selected room service the night before and ordered an $8 pot to be delivered. We were still asleep when room service arrived, so my husband stumbled to the door, signed the order and brought in the coffee. Only one cup had been brought,... more

Centrally located, and within walking distance of many downtown office locations, the Alden suited to someone who likes something a bit more contemporary, personal and upbeat. Room sizes aren't as large as your typical corporate hotel, but they are more than adequate for the single business traveller. Staff are helpful and friendly, and the restaurant is highly recommended. Beware...portions in... more

Beautiful hotel! Walking into the hotel is amazing and you are personally greeted by the conceirge which is nice after a long trip. The hotel has amazing attention to detail with fresh flowers, beautiful decor, excellent products and delicious lounge music playing in the room on arrival. Take a long soak in the oversized tub, and go to the lobby... more

They have a very bad breakfast that they charge like $18 for!!! I did enjoy some free drinks when I checked in and they have some specials in the bar during Astros games. The room was nice, but small. We had to ask for a slightly bigger room. The downtown area is really dead!!! I would stay in Midtown if... more

We booked the regular room and were astonished at the postage stamp box we walked into. We went into the bathroom and tried to close the blinds, the blunds wouldn't close, but the top part did fall down and hit my husband in the head and cut his hand, We tried to call the front desk, but the phone did... more

We stayed two nights in December 2008. Room was clean and comfortable, slightly on the small side. Bathroom really beautiful and spacious. No in room coffee maker. $25 a night valet parking, did not see any other option for our car. Easy walk to downtown area, although north from our hotel were several bail bonds agencies and the kind of... more

We stayed in Houston during the quilt convention (although we were not there for it) so as you could imagine Houston wasn't the happening town we expected. The hotel itself is great, modern decor, fantastic services and amenities. Our room was quite large and had all the latest comforts. It was quite good value as well. The downside was the... more

I actually had my wedding here back in October of 2007. They were absolutely FANTASTIC!!! They were having huge turnover at the time with their wedding consultant, but managed to recover in the most wonderful way. The management bent over backwards for me, my family and our guests. We had quite a few out of towners who were staying at... more
