The Alden Hotel really made our Girls Night Out/Birthday event memorable; however the rooms were a bit grungy feeling. The staff was fun, and very attentive. They took our photos for their scrapbook before whisking us away for pedicures at Midtown Retreat. Upon arriving back to our room, we were surprised with cake balls, which was a thoughtful and tasty birthday treat. We enjoyed cocktails while we got dressed up for a night on the town, then went down to the hotel bar for appetizers and wine. The chef brought us a special birthday dessert. Tickets to the House of Blues Foundation Room were included, but we never made it that far. We spent the entire night at Pete's Piano Bar--which was a blast.
As stated before, the rooms felt a little dirty. There was a large amount of dust on the furniture, strange mildewy/smoky smells in the rooms, and the beds weren't pristine.
Despite the cleanliness issue, we had a blast. I received in the mail today 8 framed photos of our group--one for each of the girls we had in attendance that night. I think as far as service and making the experience memorable, they rate a 5 out of 5, but appearance and cleanliness needs improvement.
