Nice place
I really enjoyed my stay here. My only complaint is the heater is VERY LOUD but over time you kind of get used to it.

Quiet & Comfortable - in Style
Perfect quiet stopover on our trip south. Convenient location, comfortable room, lovely restaurant, friendly staff,
all in an interesting architectural setting of the old First National Bank of Gastonia.

Charming, but small
Hotel is in a former bank in a very convenient location. Easy, short walk to a couple of restaurants.
The rooftop gives nice views of your surroundings.
My only issue is the room size. As soon you open the door you’re at the foot of your bed. Very, very small, but clean, rooms.

Nice stay
The only suggestion I have is to have some fresh food available for breakfast for those of us who are vegetarian.
The hotel is really unique and attractive.

A brief stay, wish I had more time to enjoy. Old style building with updated comfy rooms. Had a corner room so I enjoyed views from 2 directions.

Thumbs up!!
Rooms are small and consequently there was no room for a chair. The bed was very comfortable though. Hotel was very clean.
Staff was very cordial and helpful.
We would stay there again.
Historical building. Much of the key esthetics have been preserved.
English paneling in the elevator. Very tastefully decorated

I was worried when I walked into the lobby. It smelled a little funny and was small and uninviting but it was actually a really nice hotel. I thought the guest room was great and beautifully done.

This property is beautiful! The rooms are very nicely updated as well. The staff are helpful and the food and service was good. The only issue is the hvac in at least two of the rooms is very loud. We complained and they gave us a room where it was a little quieter but still very loud.
If it weren’t for the hvac we would want to go back for a special occasion because the property is that nice.

Great property, average staff, bar next to the hotel could be noisy although it did not bother us.
