I would like to lie and tell you it is an awful place then I know I will get back in when in Dallas again. I loved the Belmont Hotel. If you need a chain hotel with all the amenities then the Belmont is not for you. But if you like a place with character. Where the staff is friendly because they want to be not because someone told them to be. Then the Belmont Hotel is for you. If you want a place that is not the same from every angle. Then the Belmont Hotel is for you. If you like lounging in a swimming pool with a superb view of downtown Dallas Then the Belmont Hotel is for you. The owner is person with vision. Build it and they will build out to it. We happened onto the Belmont because our client's contact suggested it. WOW what a find. It was late July 2006. It was HOT. 100+ degrees every day. The Belmont was our oasis. We took care of business during the day and relaxed poolside after a meal at a local restuarant a couple miles away.\r
The rooms are different. Some with 4 walls. Others had an enclosed porch. We had a suite. There are even townhouses. I never felt like I was unwelcome. I wish I had an extra day on the trip. I would have spent it poolside with a steady flow of drinks coming from the Belmont Bar.\r
I hope for my sake you do not go to the Belmont Hotel. I hope you do not tell your friends about this wonderful hotel. Let us just keep this our little secret. OK?\r
Thanks. See you pool side. I will be the guy ordering another G&T with lime.
