It always feels somewhat like coming home when we check in to the Clansman. friendly people, always have a smile and a warm greeting. Clean rooms. Gooid food and plenty of it.

On the way to the Newfoundland Ferry, this was AAA rated and has the location. (five minutes from the ferry docks) Reservations were quick and easy, the check-in was flawless. The room was clean but dated. Beds were new and bathroom had been modernized. The furniture and shabby exterior of the building gives the impression that money is not being... More

We stayed here in August 2010 and were very disappointed in the rooms. WE found them to be old and rundown. Found excellent and cheaper accomodation at princeatprince.com in North Sydney. Beautiful 4 room suite, fully furnished. with top of the line everything.

We have stayed at the Clansman two to three times a year for many years. I have rcommended it to family and friends who visit Cape Breton. The management and staff have always gone out of their way to accommodate us and our needs. The motel is clean, welcoming and the food is great!!! They make us feel like old... More

Maybe I am spoiled, but it seems as though this should be a... More

My wife and I stayed here last year for one night prior to taking the ferry to Newfoundland. We had stayed here on three previous occasions but not since 2001. The motel has certainly gone downhill!. It appears that no money is put in to maintaining the property. Everything seems old and shabby. On this trip we had to get... More

I'd say this motel is strictly average - the whole place felt really rickety and cheap, and it's actually not much less expensive than the Best Western which is also located in North Sydney (and where we'll stay the next time we're here). It is really close to the ferry, but I didn't feel like there was much else to... More
