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

Hotel offers dry cleaning/laundry service. One option is to have laundry returned the same day if it is picked up before noon. On the day before I checked out I left my laundry at 11am and requested on the form for it to be returned the same day. The hotel did not return the laundry on the same day. When... more

This is a decent boutique hotel, no more and no less. The boutique feel isn't really carried through all aspects. The area is a bit rough. I live in a large city so it's not like I am just not used to urban areas. You definitely would not want to explore the area at night. We sure didn't. During the... more

Let me start by saying we read the recent reviews the day before we left for the Alden, and it scared us. We were very wary and prepared to ask for all issues encountered to be resolved, or leave. The Hotel Alden was a comfortable stay! We had read the reviews before we came, and were ready to smell "the... more

At the beginning of January I did stay for three nigths at The Alden in Houston. I didn't know the Hotel and my business partners booked it for me. I was very surprised and really liked it. The staff was very friendly and helpfull, the room was more than I expected and clean (aside from some dusty details). The bathroom... more

My best friend and I stayed here on Feb. 5 for a "girl's night out" in the city. Check-in was easy and quick, and by booking online with the hotel, we were given a $15 voucher to use in the restaurant or for room-service. We were on the 10th floor, and although we did notice the odor in the elevator,... more

I had a wonderful stay at the Alden from the beginning to the end of my visit. The staff was friendly and willing to accommodate all our requests. The rooms were new, clean and very nice. The location was ideal as I attended a Rockets game and could easily walk to the arena. I would definitely stay here again. more
