On behalf of our hotel staff, I am writing to let you know how delighted we were to receive your kind words of praise concerning our property during your recent stay with us at The Esquire Hotel in downtown Gastonia, NC.

Overall Score5.0/ 5
To say that the Esquire is unique is an axiomatic statement! This beautiful hotel served as a home away from home during the loss of my mother. The staff, from the front desk to housekeeping to breakfast and lunch service were like family. Their complete attention to detail made a very difficult time bearable. Their friendly smiles and beautiful accommodations offered much needed comfort and peace. I will always stay at the Esquire when in town and highly suggest anyone looking for great service and an exquisite experience check this place out!
