Carnegie Hotel & Spa

Carnegie Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"This was such a beautiful hotel. We have gone to Johnson City a few times as our son will start school there in the fall. We have stayed at other franchise branded hotels, such as Hilton and Marriott and this one far surpassed it. A place this grand would be awesome for a reception and a special event. There’s a cute boutique downstairs by the spa that has dresses that are actually affordable and cute. We will stay there again. We loved the vibe of this place."
