Hotel is conveniently situated. Very close to nightlife. Bourbon street is right ariund the corner. It's clean and the staff were great. Gives off a New Orleans haunted house vibe. You have to go out for any food, but there are many options near by.

Pros Location - easy to get french quarter. Decore - nice modern looking hotel and the rooms didn't look tired or warn. Friendly staff. The hotel can make reservations at Ruby slipper and skip the insane queues. Given how old the building was, there were two lifts which worked well and we didn't have to wait long. Cons Our room didn't have a window and was a bit stuffy. The sound proofing to the corridor was nonexistent. So we could hear every conversation and the music being played in the hallway. Request to management - there is really no need for music in the hallways, so turn it off or down. It disrupted our sleep and hence four stars instead of five. Overall, I would recommend this hotel.

EVERYTHING is a la cart... there are no microwaves in the rooms... the staff was very friendly and helpful. The windows were drafty. The shower design was not thought out completely, we had to use multiple towels to keep the floor from getting drenched. They should put shower curtains in their showers... the hotel we stayed at in Vegas has the same design for their showers but they put shower curtains in all of their showers for this very reason.

Had an awesome stay at The Pelham!! Rooms were clean, loved the lobby decor, bed was cozy, our room was upgraded to a window view, which we loved! Great location we had only a 1 mile walk to the Superdome and train station, and only a block or 2 from Canal street and the French Quarter! I loved that we were able to leave our luggage secured at the hotel after check out and do some more site seeing!! And we enjoyed a spectacular breakfast at The Ruby Slipper which is located in same building!! Most definitely will stay here next trip!!!

Cute retro lobby, exceptionally clean and comfortable room, and the BEST staff we’ve ever encountered. Pro tip: annex rooms are in the same building, are spacious, and include a mini fridge and microwave, making them a great value.

The front desk receptionist Nesha provided excellent customer service and the Pelham was a beautiful and clean hotel within walking distance of Canal Street and several nearby restaurants in a safer section of New Orleans.
