I booked this room through Expedia on a whim, and I am so glad I did. There was ample parking all around the hotel. The lobby is grand and well-appointed. The attached restaurant can deliver room service; both the dinner and breakfast were moderately priced. I have back problems and still found the bed comfortable. We had a campus view (we didn't even know there is a college across the street!) with huge windows from which you could see mountains in the distance. Now, we did have a problem with these windows from roof construction that happened during that day, but we were moved to a comparable room without the giant windows and offered a discount that both the hotel and Expedia worked quickly for me to recieve. An overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Hotel, But the Staff make it the BEST!

I have stayed at The Carnegie about 10 times in the last year due to my dad’s health and needing to visit often. The accommodations are the best and rival any place I have ever stayed anywhere in the world! Rooms are large with comfy beds, awesome housekeeping spacious desk area to get work done. The restaurant, Wellingtons has excellent food, great room service and the bartenders Sam and Zach are just AMAZING! The front desk staff, all of them, have always been helpful and have treated me like family. They have gone way above what you’d expect at a nice hotel. Housekeeping staff is incredible as well. Everyday when I come back to my room the bed is made better than I had to make mine in the Navy. Bathrooms, desk area everything just impeccable and fit for royalty! I will not stay any place else in the Tri-Cities area.
Christmas time 2024. My second stay there I believe.
