Courtyard by Marriott Bristol

8/10 Good

"Noise from the interstate"

Echo Suites Extended Stay By Wyndham Johnson City Medical Cr

8/10 Good

"When I arrived the front desk person, Will, was kind, helpful, and prompt! He allowed me to choose the floor I wanted to be on which was nice since it was just my daughter and I and I wanted to not be ground floor. The only issue I had was that when I first got into the room it appeared the toilet had not been properly cleaned, there was remnants from another. However, as soon as I brought it to Wills attention he offered to change our room and take care of it. I decided to stay in the room, but they did come and fully clean the bathroom which was appreciated. One other thing was that the walls seem quite thin. I could hear our neighbors on all sides, up, down, and next door. Our upstairs neighbors stayer up late and we’re up early also so that was rough. Otherwise, it was a nice place to stay. I felt safe and it was warm and relatively clean, after they recleaned the bathroom!"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Bristol

10/10 Excellent

"The beds were excellent. That is why we love to stay at Marriott hotels. The hotel is in a great location. Our room was very quiet and clean. Our one complaint is that only one elevator was working. In a 10 story building, this is a BIG deal. We realize things happen but a gentleman that stays there often for work told us it has been down ALOT. We had to take the stairs and go out by the pool area because we couldn’t continue to wait for the elevator as we had a procedure scheduled at a nearby medical facility. We had already waited around 15 minutes before it opened on our floor and was already full of people. Would definitely stay again as long as the elevator is repaired."

Holiday Inn Johnson City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was the second year in a row where I stayed for the National Storytelling Festival. I loved the convenience, the breakfast, and the bar. The lobby is huge and there were plenty of luggage carts and the room was clean to my standards. Friendly staff! Keep up the good work."
