Alden Suites

Alden Suites provides travelers with great views of the Gulf of Mexico, which makes sense given the property’s location on the Florida island of St. Pete Beach. All 140 suites have balconies with either beach or pool views and fully equipped kitchens including a refrigerator, stovetop, microwave, toaster and coffeemaker. There’s also free Wi-Fi access and flat-screen TVs, but some recent visitors still say that the accommodations need an update. After venturing out of their suites, guests can relax in the two heated outdoor pools as well as the 12-person hot tub. The beachfront Cabana Bar is available for when they get thirsty. Those looking for a more substantial meal can eat at Snapper’s Oasis, which is an on-site food truck that serves fast food that past guests praise. On-site activities include two lighted tennis courts, shuffleboard and beach volleyball. The hotel is a short drive from local attractions such as the Salvador Dali Museum, Fort De Soto Park and Tropicana Field.
