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 at the Alden Hotel in Feb. for our 5th. year anniversary and our stay was wonderful. The rooms were very clean, the service was wonderful and very helpful when you needed assistance. They made our dinner reservations and there courtisy vihicle took us and picked us up when we were ready. I would recommend anyone of our friends... 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

How bad was it? let me count the ways: The rooms were shabby and dusty. The food was inedible and not as advertised on the menu. Room service took 40 minutes. Best of all: the staff just walks into your room without knocking. WTF? I've never had that happen in a hotel. On the plus side: the staff is very... more

The Alden was an incredible refuge following hurricane Ike . The staff could not have been more helpful during a very difficult time for everyone. The Alden continued to provide excellent service and accomodations while operating on a very reduced staff. The general manager and several other key personnel were onsite throughout the ordeal. Room service was maintained from the... more

The Alden Hotel was very pleasant. We were greeted cordially and told that we would have a quiet room away from the elevator on the 8th floor. It was a great place to stay to walk to Minute Maid park as we took in the Astros/Yankees' game the night of our arrival. I was honed into the smell of the... more

We stayed here for our anniversary. I loved the corner room on the 10th floor. It was a mini suite. It had great views and an even better bathroom. It was somewhat noisey due to construction across the street. Room service was great. My husband had them serve us the top to our wedding cake as a surprise for me,... more

I booked my stay at the Alden back in March as I was planning a special gettaway for my boyfriend's birthday (two months in advance). I booked the "so smitten" package. Afterwards, I stummbled upon the reviews for this hotel. I was horrified. I was going to call and cancel and book somewhere else, but my co-worker talked me out... more
