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

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

4/5 - Good

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.
