WOW! What a gem! From check-in to checkout, every staff person was friendly, helpful. Not one single complaint; do not remember when that last happened at another hotel. The decor is fabulous! It was like the a private club but without the snobbishness. Sam in the bar made our day. What a great human being. It was so great, we felt like kids in a candy shop.

Built in homage to the original Johnson City Carnegie which burned in 1910, this modern version on the campus of ETSU looks and feels like the elaborate hotel of years gone by. We loved the experience and both our dinner and breakfast at the hotel’s Wellington Restaurant were excellent. We will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful hotel

Beautiful hotel and service was great! Walls were really thin and heard our neighbors late into the night. Power went out for about 2 minutes and there was no mention of it by anyone, nor did anyone check on anything. Brief overnight stay but was lovely.
