10/10 Exceptional

The Esquire is a true hidden gem in Gastonia. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed - albeit small. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooftop is an amazing space offering incredible views from all angles with spectacular sunsets. It’s a great semi-private place to unwind and enjoy drinks with friends. Barristers, the on-site bar and restaurant, is no to be missed. In my humble opinion, the creative farm to table cuisine they serve is the very best in the area.

Small rooms converted bank building. No breakfast offered or available on site. General area of hotel is littered with empty business. We stayed as it was walking distance to an upscale dinner venue. Otherwise it offers very little.
