The Pelham Resort Motel

What guests think

At The Pelham Resort Motel, guests consistently praise the beachfront location and ocean views, along with friendly, accommodating staff, while noting the property’s historic, dated feel, steep stairs with no elevator, and off-site parking a block or more away.

Room experiences vary: some enjoy clean, quiet or spacious spaces with balconies, but others report worn furnishings, uncomfortable beds, small or uneven bathrooms, weak AC or noisy fridges, and limited soundproofing. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, and the simple continental breakfast earns both appreciation and criticism for limited variety. Best for travelers comfortable with older motels who prioritize the setting over amenities.

Right on the beach strip, can walk to everything on the beach. Simple but clean rooms. Heated pool although we didn’t use. Parking is two blocks away but easy enough to get to and from after you’ve unloaded in front of the hotel. Would definitely stay again for either a beach day or local event.

The good part was the super friendly staff, helpful and kind!!! Very nice. Bad part: I wish they would put something on the site that says do not book if you have handicap issues because we don’t have an elevator and the stairs are steep! I had a hard time going to the third floor with my mother. I also didn’t realize it wasn’t handicap accessible with no elevator! (My bad) Also, the bed was really uncomfortable. The white pillows were yellow, and the bathroom shower was dirty. Other than that, was fine. :)

Beautiful beach view from the rooftop deck. Please remember that this place opened in 1890. It is pretty nice but not as modern as recent builds. It is a beautiful retro hotel. No elevator and steep steps to rooms. Pool and location across from beach are perfect for families and nostalgia seekers like me.

Excellent location, gorgeous view, great room. Would give five stars but the beds felt like spring mattresses from 1990 & had no box springs. Also didn’t realize we were on the third floor with no elevator.

The parking lot was 2 blocks from the hotel. The hotel itself was ancient and without modern fittings. The stairs were narrow and dangerous. The breakfast was meager. The floor of the room was uneven. The carpet was old. There was no shampoo in the bathroom. There was someone at the desk for check-in but never again.

Great Location, fast check in with motel at G street, the parking was in small lot numbered space on I street 5min walk. Pull up on motel side (G street) put flashers on check in get parking display pass, unload then park. Great for ballroom concert. Cleanliness was acceptable, it’s an old shore house nothing to complain or Brag about so it works. Carpet should be cleaned.

Overall the stay was very nice and the staff was very welcoming. The only concern is that the stairwells to the efficiency apartments are very narrow and makes it difficult to carry all you need for the beach.

Walk in room smelt very moldy carpets were nasty again thick dust on fan, exhaust in bathroom and nasty air vent over stove, bed was just a little bit bigger than a twin sloped downward first night was hell. Couldn’t do this for 2 more nights manager was nice enough to reimburse us 2 nights back!!! Thank goodness I felt nasty staying there!!! Also parking was one block away was barely big enough for our truck and get out sideways without running out vehicle or anyone else’s!!!

Very disappointed with our choice of hotel. Upon check in, we were told that we could unload out in front of the hotel but, then would have to park in the hotel parking lot that was basically 3 blocks away behind a “yellow house with a Pelham sign”. The room was a disappointment also. From the tiny tv that wouldn’t stay upright (broken bracket?) to the very dirty shower curtain to the grossly dusty ceiling fan to the uncomfortable very squeaky bed; the room gave off an unpleasant feeling. These things, plus the fact that HB had already basically shut down for the season; caused us to cut our losses and leave after 1 night.

Perfect location, staff were all very friendly, beds were comfy, great light from the windows, room was clean. The bathroom could use a little work. Slow draining sink and the very low toilet was a little wobbly. The room was NOT soundproof. The loud kids enjoying the pool sounded as if our windows were wide opened. Breakfast was ok although maybe some fresh fruit would be a nice healthy option to round out the donuts and muffins.

Positive notes: 1. Very friendly and helpful staff. 2. Good size fridge. 3. Chest of drawers. 4. Table and chairs. 5. Right on the boardwalk. Negative notes: 1. No shampoo in the shower stall and none at the front desk! Bring your own! 2. Noisy neighbors in the lodge next door that I could hear through the wee hours. 3. The smallest TV set I had ever seen at any resort, with a 26” screen! 4. No screen on one of the windows, so it couldn’t be opened. 5. Shower curtain installed too high up so water got all over the floor from the gap below.

The good thing is that it's right in front of the beach and you can park not far away. The bad things...i mean that place needs major renovations. Uncomfortable bed and the futon mattress is impossible to sleep on. Stayed for 2 days and didn't sleep for 2 days...Fridge is very noisy all the time, and the AC also

We stayed in the full apartment with private balcony, very comfortable and clean, this is the closest Inn to the Casino Ballroom where we saw a concert just a few doors down the street. Parking is very limited in this area, and the Pelham did not charge extra for it. Hampton Beach is an older area, but lots of fun and the Casino Ballroom is full of history. Led Zeppelin played there in 1969, Louis Armstrong in 1941, Duke Ellington in 1936! Super cool place to say you've been! If we go back, it will be to the same room at the Pelham!
