Joseph, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean but very small. No dresser or great place to hang clothes. Heat/AC was very noisy. Hotel itself was a cool building. The parking lot was dark at night and being downtown was concerning.

Great staff and very good restaurant on property.

Nicely renovated historic building
Lisa, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Definitely not as nice as advertised. The building was as wide as two cars put together. The elevator was down so we had to walk the stairs which go up for days it seemed. As well as back down. The rooms were so small it fit a bed and two side tables with minimal room to walk around. Very dated older smell and the air unit was so loud I couldn’t sleep.

10/10 Exceptional

This historical landmark is truly a treasure. As a history enthusiast, I appreciated that the hotel used to be a bank. It has a delightful charm and distinctiveness. The restaurant was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I look forward to my next stay!
Nichole, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As a 2 million-miler, I've stayed in a few hotels. If you need to stay in Gastonia, you cannot beat this property for the price.

Gem

Such a gem. Very nice and intimate, offer a restaurant, late check out, small complimentary breakfast, rooftop, free parking. I would stay there every time I come to North Carolina

Perfect room And clean
Carolina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property overall was fine. The only reason for 4/5 stars was the room was very small. The shower is very small as well. You have no room to move at all.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoy staying at the Esquire every time we visit our son in Gastonia. The hotel has history and we love the nice people there!
Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great getaway for limited options in gastonia area. The restaurant was good
TJ, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

When I travel I love to stay at historic locations, this one did not disappoint. The hotel staff were so kind and helpful. The Barrister's restaurant was exceptional and so were the staff. Gourmet meals with southern flare, and great cocktails. A simple breakfast and coffee are provided each morning, except for Sunday. There is a nice Rotary built park on the back side of the hotel that was nice, as a Juntenth celebration was held during my stay. A great location just outside of Charlotte, but close to other cities that offer great activies to visit each day.
