So, I want to give the management a little bit of grace. The current state that the Belmont is in, is the worst I've ever seen it. However, I've come to know that the ownership has changed. They were very kind and I hope they can turn this place around.
We last stayed here about 8-9 years ago and since then, I've seen major degradation. The room was stayed in had loads wrong with it. The heater was small but finally heated the room after a few hours. The bathroom had mold, the sink was clogged, and the toilet seat was run down from wear. The paint on the ceiling and walls needed a new coat but you can see there has been some ceiling repairs.
Fire code wise, I don't think you can have the power strips like they had it. The furniture needs replacement or restoration badly. It's cool to be in such a historic place with vintage furniture, but they need to be repaired.
It was nice to have the bar downstairs. They have continental breakfast but that could be improved.
We were in room #5 so I would avoid that room until you're told it's been completely renovated it.
I don't mean to be negative but it was pretty bad. We stayed anyways because we felt we could bare it because it was only for our night stays as we visited with family. Elevator DID work, needs some renovation too.
Overall, I hope they can turn this around... I would give it a 4/10. Not a ton of options in Abbeville anyways.
