Nothing beats wandering this scenic campus to the sound of the carillon bells which sound every quarter hour. On Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoons faculty or students perform on the instrument.

The campanile is a WWII memorial, so be sure to check out the structure itself too. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/8613/2b075ba0-888e-45df-a9b5-64f95e6bd54f.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) University of Kansas 8 min walk \- 0.5 miles - Massachusetts Street 3 min walk \- 0.2 miles - Lawrence Arts Center 5 min walk \- 0.3 miles - Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center 8 min walk \- 0.5 miles - Allen Fieldhouse 4 min drive \- 1.4 miles ### Getting around - Lawrence Station 15 min walk - Topeka, KS (FOE-Forbes Field) 33 min drive ### Restaurants - Sylas and Maddy's Homemade Ice Cream 7 min walk - Jefferson's 7 min walk - The Burger Stand at The Casbah 6 min walk - Louise's Bar Downtown 5 min walk - Wheatfields 3 min walk ## Frequently asked questions ### Is [3] StayAwhile: The Cozy Retreat pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at [3] StayAwhile: The Cozy Retreat? ### What time is check-in at [3] StayAwhile: The Cozy Retreat? ### What time is check-out at [3] StayAwhile: The Cozy Retreat? ### Where is [3] StayAwhile: The Cozy Retreat located? ## Have a question?
