I know they are working on renovating and updating the place but it was lacking in details. Our A/C wouldn't even turn on, the bathroom door wouldn't shut, the details of years of being in business showed. It smelled musty and just really was not good. Not worth the price we paid.

Fair Isle made a great base for taking in all Cape Breton has to offer. It is approximately 340 km round trip around the Cabot Trail. Charlene's has great food but isnt licensed. Took in traditional music at the Red Show, 25 km NW.

Reasonably good room. No facial tissues provided, no bathroom countertop space for personal items (I expect at least a 2ft by 3ft space). The rooom had a stale odor to it. Quiet for sleeping which is, for me at least, the most important room feature.
