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.

We loved this place, we went there to visit different places around it most of the time, but if you just want to stay there and enjoy the hotel and surroundings, that's also a great place for.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

Even though this is an older and smaller motel, the rooms were super clean and the bed was very comfortable. Front desk checkin was easy and Ollie the dog is super friendly. I am always hesitant to stay in smaller motels but was not disappointed in my selection. I think you will find you won’t be either.
