Kelly's View Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very clean with new a/c and tv. Amber was amazing in recommending places to eat and letting us stay a bit of extra time at checkout. Polite, kind and very helpful. Thanks! 15 minutes from North Sydney ferry, shopping, and places to visit and eat. Recommend to make a few updates to the bathroom, but overall had all that we needed. We will be back!"
