The Carnegie Hall Hotel in Johnson City has a warm, nostalgic feel with rustic décor throughout. It’s a beautiful facility with an onsite bar and restaurant, a small fitness space, and an outdoor pool. While the property itself is lovely, you’ll likely need a car to reach shopping and other dining options nearby. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Loved it!! The property is well maintained and very relaxing and enjoyable. We took lots of pictures! Two very small drawbacks- our bed mattress was very, very soft and lumpy. Also, in the Wellington Restaurant there was a fair amount of dirt/waste under the work station near hostess stand. The rest of the restaurant was spotless!
