We had to drive out to see Carroll University, because of COVID -19 everything was closed. University was fabulous as well as the people giving tours. We driver 2300 miles and wished we could have visited more places.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Never actually saw the town. Just stayed at the hotel. 1am check in and 11am check out. Back on the road.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Room was very clean. Breakfast was delicious with lots of options. Only downfall was that we were unable to use the hot tub and that was the one reason I booked this specific hotel was for that amenity.
