The entire hotel is outfitted with fascinating antiques and furniture pieces. The styling and decor is reminiscent of earlier times. Real wood entry door to the hotel with solid/heavy brass handles shaped as a bird's head. Great bar selection of whiskeys and cocktails, and very responsive staff. Southern charm at its finest. As Arnold would say, "I'll be back".

Very conveniently located for ETSU and getting to know the Johnson City area. Excellent on-site food plus others within walking distance. Nice glimpses of the mountains over the ETSU campus, from the sixth floor. The staff… ALL of them we encountered … were polite, cheerful, and very good at what they did. It was a great visit!

This is a stunning property in the old classical sense of dark paneling, interesting furnishings, beautiful bedrooms, brass fixtures, etc. Sleigh beds in the rooms, not just a headboard fastened to the wall! Truly elegant. The Wellington dining room and bar were great. HUGE selection of bourbons and interesting menu. Only faults were a noisy room due to traffic on the street outside...maybe better soundproofing windows in the future. And LIGHT!! The bathroom was very well lit and spacious but there was only ONE dim lamp on the bedside table. No overhead. Difficult to even pack or unpack! But we'd definitely stay again. Maybe bring our own lightbulbs. ; )

Staff were friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The room and pool were very clean. The parking was perfect, with many spots available in the covered parking garage. The kids thought having a shower and tub in the bathroom was really cool. We would definitely book here again.
