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.

Although it is only 25 years old, the hotel is built on the model of a hotel that stood in the same place 100 years ago. It looks like one of the finer hotels that railroad tycoons built during the 1800s to attract tourist trade. The staff was exceedingly polite and professional. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. We were there to hear a concert at a local venue, which was 5 minutes away. If we had someone studying at East Tennessee STate University, I would imagine no better place to stay.
