Top Unicoi Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Johnson City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the property was. The lobby was very modern and spacious. The room was easy to access and comfortable. The rooms could use updating, but it was clean and comfortable, with nothing broken. We needed to change rooms, and the staff made it happen quickly and conveniently. The bartender was a rockstar!. I didn't look at other amenities, so I cannot comment on the gym or pool, etc.; the internet was fast and consistent. I have been travelling to the Johnson City area for 30-40 years, and this is by far the best hotel I have stayed at there and will every time I am back."

10/10 Excellent

"Rustic, eclectic, cozy, welcoming, unique....this was one of our favorite VRBO experiences. Despite having had a flash flood on their property just a few days previous to our stay, Pat and Johnny were so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed seeing their bison herd, the goats, chickens, peacocks (especially the little ones) and all of the other amazing creatures on their property. We stayed in what was once Johnny's Art Studio which has an amazing pond right out back full of turtles, fish, geese, beavers and otters. Pat welcomed us when we pulled in, showed us around a bit and told us where everything was located on the property. She is a baker extraordinaire and had made us cranberry and granola bars for breakfast. The bed was cozy. Johnny's art was bountiful, and beautiful. There was so much to see and experience. We both said that we wish that we had a couple more days to stay so that we could help with the clean up from the flash flood. Which, by the way, had no effect on our stay but had an impact on their property. We truly hope to get to stay here again. Highly recommend it."

"We stayed here on both legs of our trip. It's intended for extended stays, so the amenities aren't much to speak of. Plenty of stores and restaurants nearby, though. And the rooms and grounds are nice and clean, and the staff was friendly."
