Clean, comfy, with friendly and helpful staff.

Beds were comfy and the owner and her daughter were absolutely lovely. The rooms were very clean and property was well maintained. When the fires caused the trails to be closed in the national park, the owner had a list of things posted on the fridge that guests could do as alternate options to hiking. She gave many great recommendations and suggestions for activities in the area as well. Very helpful. My only recommendation would be to add a few more channels or a streaming service for guests as the tv options were extremely limited which didn’t help us in the evening after we got back from dinner and we were trying to keep the kids busy. Also, an ice machine would be great so guests can get ice during the time when the office is closed like at night. One nice feature though, was the availability of a few breakfast items for purchase in the office. So other than the tv and ice machine, which are small details, it was a lovely stay and a nice property.

Convenient for taking the ferry to Newfoundland. No dining options on the vicinity for late arrivals. I suggest a list of available TV channels be provided to save extensive channel surfing to find anything at all.

Kelly’s View Motel offers a beautiful spot to watch the sunset. The rooms were clean and cozy. The bathrooms are a little outdated, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience. I had a great stay and would definitely come back again!
