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.
