Pelham Hotel

Best hotel for the money, hands down. Within walking distance of the French quarter, and tucked away on a side street- the location couldn't have been better. The inside is quant and cute and cozy. The rooms were very clean, and exceeded my expectations. Upgraded lighting, and accents gave it a luxurious feel. They even had a vintage radio playing softly which was a nice touch.

I stayed here for the last night of my trip to New Orleans, and after staying 6 days at the Hilton Riversde, I quickly realized that I instantly loved the vintage boutique hotels so much more It's completely different from your standard nationwide hotels. My favorite parts of the Prlham Hotel were the unique vintage decor infused with french and New Orleans styles, the hospitality, the rooms looked AMAZING, and the locations were one block behind Canal St. I now want to try other small classic hotels in New Orleans going forward. It's such a treat to see something so different from your standard hotels. Loved it!!Food:The Pelham Hotel has a Ruby Slippers restaurant connected to it that is amazing. A few notes to consider, they are packed from the time the doors open until ot closes, so if you can make a reservation, do it. They also close at 2 pm and stop taking names around 1:45 pm. The entry is on the corner, so the waiting space is tight with all the foot traffic. However, I saw everyone waiting on the other 3 corners plus along the hotel. They do a great job yelling your name out so you can hear from across the street. FYI, the streets are close to each other.Atmosphere:I felt really safe in the hotel and in the surrounding area. The hotel makes you feel like you're in the 50s or 60s, but at the same time, it's modern. What a great vibe. Everyone is nice and polite. It is a big tourist area. However, it's off the main street and 5 minutes of walking from the french quarter.Service:The staff was so nice and polite and did a great job accommodating me before I was able to check into my room. I arrived just after 11 a.m. My check-in time was at 3 pm. I was able to check my luggage in and store them until I arrived back at the hotel later that night. NOTE: Check-in is usually at 3pm it's a late check-in, but you can request an early check-in, and if your room is ready, you can check in.Price:The prices are great, I got a studio king for 1 night at $178 after taxes. The room has high ceilings and dark wooden floors, and with so much space, they could fit another couch in the room if they wanted to. The bathrooms are massive also with high ceilings. There's a dest, 2 padded chairs, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a kurig, and the best part is that all the furniture looks vintage.Location:It's located in downtown New Orleans, at 444 Common St. It's right behind Canal St. and 5 minutes walking distance from the french quarters. AMAZING!!

Looking for a nice weekend stay but didn't want all the noise of Bourbon area. This really fit the bill. The only downside is they close at midnight and our flight was delayed. So we barely made it in before hitting a big dilemma. The girl at the counter didn't seem too excited to be waiting for us.All that changed when we saw our 4th floor room. Very nice room and classic style but updated. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom very nice. Huge TV plenty of space. We loved the inside of the hotel. The best part is it's connected to the Ruby Slipper cafe next door and their food is amazing. Hotel guests can also reserve a table 30 mins earlier than when it opens to the public. One block off of Canal too!

I really like the location, with a short walk to the French quarter. The beds were comfortable. The inner (no windows) room was well insulated from outside sounds. We were able to turn on the AC fan for some white noise at night. The room was extremely clean. The only two issues were that the radio made a humming sound even when turned off, and the WiFi did not work for the first night even after they tried to fix it.

My husband, his grandma and I stayed at this hotel for a couple of days during our recent trip to New Orleans. The hotel is small, but gives off a speakeasy and boutique vibe. This hotel does not have any thrills pr even windows in the roCleanliness: as someone who packs cleaning supplies for hotel stays I will say that this hotel was very clean. Nothing came up on any of my wipes on the counters or in the shower, which was a surprise and delight. I will say, though that the hotel had an old and musky smell throughout the lobby and elevator. Staff/Service: Since the hotel is so small I only interacted with three staff members. They were all nice and kind but one of them provided false info to my hubby about several things which us feel like she was either new or confused. Otherwise the staff was great and brought towels upon request. There are no phones in the hotel rooms just a number to text if you need anything.Rooms: The rooms were clean as mentioned before. Neither our room or his grandmother's room had a window, which was a bit of a disappointment. Both rooms had the usual amenities, including plenty of bedside outlets to charge electronics. Overall, if you're looking for an inexpensive hotel, that does not have any extras like a pool and gym then this is a great option.

This hotel is darling. The beds are comfy and the rooms are as cute as they can be. The staff is very nice and has been helpful. The location is perfect.

Do not ever agree to be placed in a room on the first floor of this hotel. The street noise is unbearable and goes all night. A garbage truck comes every morning and it sounds like it's backing right up to your bed. It came at 5:30am yesterday and 7:45am this morning. We've been pleading with the hotel to change our room but they refuse. Not because they don't have availability, but because they have different classes of rooms apparently. The service at this hotel is abhorrent. I would never recommend staying here. This site won't let me upload a video of the garbage truck this morning so here's a picture of a used rubber glove housekeeping left in our room yesterday.

I didn't know what to expect when I booked this room on Hopper. I will tell you this stay was such a good decision. It was so nice! Super boutique and you could tell it was recently renovated. The beds were comfortable. There was a coffee/tea maker keurig machine in the room. They also had two big water bottles and a fridge. Our room was by everything! Everything was within walking distance! We even took a stroll to the casino and the casino had so many food options. Not even two blocks away. You can see the Cesar's Palace from the door! I must also give the staff loads of compliments. Jade was sooooo amazing. Truly made our stay and checkout so easy! She held our bags til we were ready to go. Arthur was awesome too! We did have some issues with using Netflix in our room. I don't know why! I tried everything and went to every outlet to check but nothing! I was not able to figure it out or get help. This process should be simplified. Every other stay I've had it's been easy to just login my info and even scan it from my phone. Arthur did hook us up with one of the engineers cause the power went out on our night stand. It got fixed within hours. Great service!!! The water pressure from the shower was good and the shower products were awesome. I highly recommend!

Great location, solid effort, not quite there.The Pehlam reaches toward being a solid boutique hotel, but doesn't quite cross all the hurdles. Service is great! The lobby is run tightly and effectively! Everyone down there is helpful and a great resource.The rooms are clean and tidy.Lighting, however, was done by someone who is a sadist or never has to fix their hair. Task lighting isn't functional. There's a lot of wasted space, but I understand it's an old building. The bathroom was tight and tough to use for two. The shower floor mimics NOLA sidewalks in it's evenness. So that harkens to the local flavor, I guess. The lobby appears comfy, but I never felt like it was a place that one hangs out or relaxes. There's nowhere to get away from the front desk.This is a hotel with potential. Again, the location is prime. I just feel like they need to invest a lil bit more.

We just finished our stay (June 5-10 2024), and got home to clean out our vehicle. Blunt wraps and cigarillos were found under our driver seat, which we have attached photos of. No one in our family smokes, and there was ash in our vehicle, showing one of their drivers was smoking in our car. This is completely unacceptable as we come from families with high levels of cancer.Additionally, my in-laws were staying in the same hotel and had a horrific experience. The first room they were given had BLOOD on the bedsheets. When they went to the front desk to address it, a gentlemen stated he was the only one there so he'd get to it eventually. After an extensive period of waiting, about 30 minutes, my father-in-law went down again to address it. The employee finally just moved them to another room, which was appreciated. Following this, on a different day, the same employee barged into their room unannounced, while my mother-in-law was showering and father-in-law was in his underwear. There was no acknowledgement or apology, just the employee running out of the room. Later, when the employee was confronted, he stated "Yeah, I just had to grab something." This was also completely unacceptable.Overall, our experience was moderate at best, but after finding the ashes, smoking paraphernalia, combined with the blood on the bed and the intrusion into one of our rooms... I could never recommend this hotel to anyone, especially considering I have attempted to contact the hotel via email, and gotten no response.
