Stayed for a night in Sept. of 2021. The motel is in a lovely area just off the the highway with a nice view of Kellys Mountain as the name implies. It has been there for as long as I can remember so it is an older venue. We had a very clean and comfortable room. Beds were clean, bathroom clean, towels/linens clean. Lovely scented green tea soap. Bed was firm but comfortable. The room had a microwave and mini-fridge that looked to have never been used they were that clean! There were also extra blanket and a pillow along with some local info. The two decks of cars were a nice touch. One thing I've noticed on my travels as of late is that rooms don't seem to have telephones in them anymore. I guess it's assumed that people all have cell phones these days. Reception was very…

This place was not only an incredible bargain, but was spotless and Audrey, the 10 year owner could not have been more helpful. I prefer these small family owned places and called them direct to book and knew right off it was a charming and friendly spot to stay. It is also only 15 minutes from NL ferry so really convienient to catch boat in am.

We arrived after a long day of driving and Audrey was very warm and friendly during the check-in process. We checked in, rested for a bit, went to eat dinner and came back, so a lot of time was spend in the room, during the 1 night stay. It is a VERY large room with all amenities one would require, including a fridge and a TV. The room was well-maintained and super-clean. We had a good night sleep and all was well. The view is fantastic and really helps with the ambience and atmosphere. All in all, a great time was had by all!

Stayed here for one night in August as we were taking the ferry from North Sydney to Port-aux-Basques, NL the next day. Good sized room with microwave and mini fridge. Comfortable bed, quiet location. Good value. On the Trans Canada Hwy in a rural location. There is a restaurant next door but it may not be open if you arrive in the evening. Friendly owners. Within easy striking distance of the North Atlantic ferry. Would recommend this property.

The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.we were a little late getting there but that was not a problem.there is a restaurant next door.It was closed for the season,and she suggested a place down the road that was perfect.You could tell the housekeeper took pride in her work as it was the cleanest hotel that we stayed in on this trip. I recommend this place.

Owners were extremely friendly and kind. We were running late, I called them and they told us they will wait for us doesn't matter the hour. View is incredible !! Room was very clean and comfortable. Very nice for a family... Hotel is conveniently located in Cape Breton Island. Close to Hwy, in few hours you are in Pleasant bay, Ingonish, etc They have a restaurant next door and also another a block from restaurant. We definitely are coming back.

This place is clean, convienient, and decent value. We stayed here on the way to the Port aux Basques ferry and on the way back. I had left a nightgown on our first visit and just figured I lost it and that was that. Upon our return visit my nightgown was not only still here, it had been laundered and was in our room! I cant imagine any chain providing that kind of service or thoughtfulness under any circumstance. Highly recommended.

This motel was well-located for exploring Cape Breton. The sheets were older and rough to the touch, but the price rate was very reasonable. Staff was also friendly. No air conditioning, but the windows have screens and are kept open, and a cool breeze did enter at night. I would stay here again.

The room was spotless, the beds comfortable, good showers with plenty of water pressure, even the in-room coffee was good! Motorcyclists who just want to ride the Cabot Trail and have a quiet peaceful evening, this is the place to go! Had a very tasty dinner at Fitzgerald’s next door, then watched a stunning sunset with great coffee. The folks at the lobby were friendly and accommodating of our truck and trailer space requirements...and they even gave me real cream for my coffee instead of the in-room coffee mate. The cherry on top??? Price vs value unbeatable!!

Beautifully crafted floral hanging baskets outside the office were the first hint that I was going to like this motel. 🌸 Wonderful scenery all around. Audrey was a most gracious host, very friendly, checking us into Room 12. A big CLEAN room, very comfy queen bed with crisp linens, fridge, and a coffee maker that allows you to make a small pot, rather than a single cup. Big windows let the breeze in - this place is a great bargain for under $100. Bonus - there’s a terrific restaurant to have dinner at right next door !! That’s another review - Fitzgerald’s. I would not hesitate to return. *Unfortunately, Kelly’s View doesn’t pop up on a TripAdvisor search of this region* - it should. It’s a real treasure
