Top Alden Hotel Reviews

Bayshore Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Parking lot, lobby area, hallway and elevators were clear and clean of debris. The staff were very attentive and welcoming. Super friendly, knew what the term ‘customer service’ ment. Breakfast very good, all the regulars and then some. "

Park Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Guests are unable to control the temperature of the heat in their room. I was able to turn off the fan blowing the warm air. It was 74, too warm for my wife and I to sleep in. Also, the beds have a sheet, a thick duvet and bedspread. Duvet made sleeping even hotter, so we chose just to use the sheet. Bathroom has only a passive ceiling vent, no fan. I understand this was common in older buildings, but an upgrade would be nice. It took a half hour for condensation to clear from the mirror after a shower. "
