Editorial Review for Alden-Houston – by Andrea Loera
In Short
Just a couple blocks from the Main Street entertainment district, this '20s-era tower has been transformed into a stylish 97-room boutique hotel. From the pulsing light sculpture in the minimalist lobby to the gray-toned guest rooms, the decor is modern and accommodating. Floor-to-ceiling windows reveal stunning downtown views and the granite and glass bathrooms are pure luxury. In-room amenities include direct dial portable phones, laptop safe, flat-screen TV, Herman Miller chairs and complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access.

4 of us ate there last week & we all chose the chefs menu with wine pairing ($134 / person). the food was uninspiring & overall we felt we did not receive the food value for the cost. for example, the beef strip steak was stringy. the split pea soup had an unknown crunchy thing in it. for the cheese course, it took over 25 minutes to bring out the cheese & it was just a hunk of blue cheese with 2 pieces of bread. our waiter said dessert was going to be a choice off the dessert menu & then it was time to serve dessert, the waiter said there was only one choice & it was some icky coconut soup. we complained & got a 2nd choice of a chocolate cake - my cake was dry. we eat out ALOT & this meal did not justify the cost & probably should not be on the menu - the chef did not exceed or show his skills much (if at all). would not recommend.

I am giving the Alden Houston a rating of Average because we didn't actually stay there . . . we were turned off before we got inside. The Alden is located in a part of Downtown Houston that is heavily populated by homeless people, and in the blocks immediately surrounding the hotel there are no less than 4 or 5 bail bond locations. Upon pulling up to the curb outside the Alden at approximately 2:30PM on a Saturday afternoon, and waiting inside our vehicle for the valet, a homeless woman walked up to our car and started beating on it and shouting jibberish. When the valet came out she left us alone, but we were left rather shaken. Concerned at this point not only about our personal safety but also about our vehicle's safety, we inquired as to where our vehicle would be parked. We were informed that it would be parked in an "unpatrolled but well-lit" open lot behind the building. No, thank you! I called inside from my cell phone and spoke to the manager, who informed me there was no other parking option. It was at this point that I asked for a refund, even though I had missed the 24 hour required notice. He could have argued with me, but he did not. I was granted a full refund.
