we liked the idea of the hotel, a converted motor court, and so decided to stay in a bungalow room(these could be a bit noisy depending on your neighbors we had no trouble) - the location turned out to be great for us, tourists visiting Dallas, it was not far from downtown, the freeways or the artist community & the neighborhood was interesting - the hotel property was great looking, the room clean & comfortable with good design & a city view as we requested - the staff was great especially Jason at the desk & Lena the manger - there was a mix up with housekeeping making up our room & the attentiveness to correct this & make sure we were comfortable could not have been better - all in all we had a great stay here - gerardNYC

Although i do live in the same city as this hotel I decided to celebrate my birthday there! I am glad i did. This hotel is on top of a hill in an underdeveloped area with great potential.

If you are used to brand new, squeaky clean, plush hotels, i'd read below before i make a decision to stay a whole weekend:

First off, valet, it's free! Even for guests. You will check in and since some of the rooms are located in different areas the Valet will drop you off with their golf cart. The hotel is atop of a hill and spread out. It is sort of like it's own little village so there are no hallways!

Belmont took this old 40's building and rennovated it but left its charachter in place. It has some of the original fixtures, tile, and concrete walls. Props to the owner for leaving it that way but modernizing it with the decor and furniture.

I rented the loft suite! I cannot say that i've been anywhere that had a view like this. You could practically touch the Dallas skyline with your fingertips. It's gorgeous!

It had 2 floors, downstairs was not large at all only to fit a day bed and wall length desk, flat screen, countertop with sink and a bathroom with a stand up shower. Upstairs was much larger, queen size bed, daybed, wall mounted flat screen and bathroom with standup shower.

i read that someone thought it was in a sketchy area, not true. Why would you even walk off the grounds, it has everything you need!

The hotel was very accomodating about having guests over. It has the BarBelmont which had flawless service, and a skyline view as well! Like i said i stayed in the loft so i'm not sure if everyone will have a view like ours so ask to be placed in a suite that will.

Few more tips:
infinity pool, ice machines scattered among the property, landscape was pretty, 5-10 minutes from downtown, 15 min from greenville ($18-20 cab ride one way). CliffCafe for food service.

would i stay again? Already thinking about it.

I've stayed at the Belmont several times in the last year and have had a great experience every time.

The atmosphere is fun, funky and fabulous. The staff is friendly and laid back and the rooms are cute with both original and modern elements (original tile, new flat screen TV) put together. Great view of downtown skyline from bar patio and pool area. The Cliff Cafe, their onsite dining spot, has delicious pulled pork quesadillas and a good wine selection. You can get breakfast all day too if you want. The Bar Belmont is a cool place at night for a drink or snack.

The area is surrounding the hotel is not great, but I felt safe walking around every time. It will get better with time. They have security that patrols at night. Another bonus: they offer quick complimentary shuttle to the Bishop Arts District or Downtown for more dining and shopping options.

We stayed there for Valentine's Day and it was fine as long as you did not have to deal with the staff. They are not good when they get busy.

The Valet did not have us on the list and gave us a hard time when parking. No one carried our bags and we definitely did not get a bucket of ice like another reviewer did.

The bar was busy with one server. She started out ok but then disappeared. When we asked for another drink, she finally did bring it; slamming it on the table. We said something to bartender inside which got us the response from the server of "I am not ignoring you, I am just busy".

We sent an email to the hotel and at first the representative seemed helpful--wanting to talk by phone. However, she did not seem to believe us and then said she would get back to us. She did after I emailed her 3 more times. Her email basically told us too bad that we were disappointed. We live in Dallas and I bring in business clients often. I was hoping that the Belmont would be a good addition to my list. It is not. And we will not be going back to stay or even for drinks.
