When we booked Kansarlinn we were a bit apprehensive if we had made the right choice but for our given dates there was little affordable in the neighborhood. What a pleasant surprise we were in for!

Read moreStayed for a night as a couple during our roadtrip through the south. Great location, nice rooms with electric kettle and fridge, nice breakfast. My complaints would be that it said in booking that they had toiletries so I expected shampoo and there was none, and when I asked for it there was no kind of help. Gave 3 stars in service cause the girl in the check in was pretty useless with the shampoo and not kind when I asked were I could go to see the Northern Lights. Had the luck that when I went looking for shampoo a guy in the hallway told me they could see them!!! Maybe I just had high and badly placed expectations, cause I read that some guests were told when the lights came out, but overall, the lack of shampoo allowed me to...
