Decent place to stop for an evening of catching the ferry to NFLD. This place feels to me like a draw back to the 70’s , I liked it ALOT for that reason ! I loved the idea of parking my car right next to the door ! Very convenient indeed , I’d stay again for sure … They may need to look at the maintenance of the aluminum door closure … don’t work too well Good value !

We stayed for two nights after the ferry was cancelled. Clean rooms and good amenities. The rooms also had heat pumps which was great. The beds could use an upgrade and the bathroom could use a refresh. Decent value for the price we paid. Close to stores and the NL Ferry.

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.
