The location of this hotel is fantastic, just steps away from the beach and the boardwalk, which made it easy to explore the area. The rooms are small but clean, and while the service was decent, it could have been more attentive regarding incidents that occurred. The dining options were limited with a basic continental breakfast offered. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a short stay, especially if you’re looking for a place near the ocean, but be aware of potential disturbances.

I had mixed feelings during my stay. The Pelham boasts stunning views and is perfectly located across from the ocean, plus the rooftop offers spectacular sights. However, the room I received was quite small, and the bathroom amenities left much to be desired. The heated pool was overcrowded with teenagers, which made it impossible to enjoy. Overall, while I loved the views and location, the room size and pool situation were major downsides for me.

My stay at Pelham Resort started off on a sour note due to a personal emergency that cut my visit short. The location is nice, but I was disappointed with the lack of flexibility regarding refunds for early departures. The room I stayed in was acceptable for a night, albeit on the small side, and the amenities were decent, but I ended up feeling like I lost money without any consideration for my situation.

Our stay was overall pleasant as the location was excellent, close to the beach and many shops. The room was clean and had been renovated at some point, although the mattress was sagging. The service was decent, and we appreciated the daily fresh towels, but there were some issues with the lock on the patio door. The breakfast options were standard, and the pool was a nice touch after a day at the beach.

Our stay had its ups and downs. While the location was unbeatable right on the beach and the people-watching was incredible from the patio, the room itself left much to be desired—it was cramped and the bed felt small.

I had an amazing experience at this resort. The location is unbeatable with easy access to the beach and lots of restaurants lining the boardwalk. The staff really care about the guests, which is a huge plus. However, the busy pool area can get a bit overwhelming with kids around, and it’s important to be patient with the crowd dynamics. Overall, it’s a great spot for families looking for fun.

The hotel offered better rates than surrounding options, especially considering our last-minute booking for a family matter. The owners were very nice and helpful, and the apartment we stayed in was clean and conveniently located. However, there was quite a bit of noise coming from outside, and the limited toiletries provided—just soap and make-up wipes—were a bit disappointing.

Our stay was cut short due to an unbearable smell in the room that wrecked our plans.

My stay was quite an experience, with a mix of positives and negatives. The location was absolutely fantastic being so close to everything, and the porch was a great spot for people-watching.
