The Staff was exceptional upon my late arrival, after being delayed on the ferry. He was a very kind and helpful. Upon entry to my room, I noticed how clean it was and so spacious! The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a body wash instead of face soap for the shower. However with that being said I could have brought my own in and didn’t haha. I’d say this was a wonderful place to stay and will book after every ferry crossing because it’s so close and it was nice to wake refreshed and drive to NB alert! Great job on your hired team!

We got stuck in North Sydney for 4 nights because the ferry kept getting cancelled. The staff at the Clansman were friendly and helpful. An older motel with older beds but they weren’t uncomfortable. The sheets were clean. The towels were limited but clean. The restaurant on the premises was good. Busy all the time.
