We go through Johnson City precisely so we can overnight here at the Carnegie. It has large rooms and a great staff - and it has personality. The chains are just soulless beds with a breakfast thrown in. The Carnegie is a visual masterpiece -- and it costs no.more. We hop onto the alternate route now that I-40 is one lane and make this part of our journey. Three stays and never a complaint.

Disliked: Amenities
I’m moving out of town. I packed my entire apartment. Needed a place to stay. Booked a room. Was told “If you are local, we need a $250 CASH deposit.” I wasn’t told that when I booked the room. It was 11:30 at night, I’ve been busting my butt packing for 13 hours, and now I’ve got to runaround and find an ATM? Forget that nonsense. I stayed at The Carnegie Hotel instead.
