Carl’s Unique Inn is a perfect alternative to hectic Philipsburg, quiet, convenient access to nearby wharf and dining options of Cole Bay, and also the airport. Staff is friendly and the property is attractive. Added bonus is the hotel’s on-premises island-renowned bakery, providing the visitor fantastic, fresh meat pies and sandwiches. I highly recommend Carl’s Unique Inn.

The staff was excellent. Joann was very helpful as was the rest of the staff. The breakfast provided at the bakery was wonderful with custom made breakfast sandwiches and fresh pastry. The housekeeping staff was very thorough and friendly.. I just wish the hotel were in a better area.

10/10 Exceptional

Inexpensive but a lovely resort.

An unusual property set among retail and factory buildings, but a quiet area especially at night with enthusiastic staff. A short 10 minutes' walk away from the main road between Simpson Bay and Philipsburg. Excellent breakfast given included in the price.

Needs more explanation about the breakfast because we was there waiting everyone watching wouldn't ask if you need help , so i decide to ask how to go about getting breakfast then the lady ask if you staying in the hotel i said yes . I stand there watch the way she made some sandwiches, I dont know if because we staying in the hotel thats why we got our sandwiches like that I also saw on he face body language that she needed help and i was correct, a gentle came and ask her only you here today , nobody suppose to know that you short staff put that smile on your face even if its a false smile , so the next day we decided to get our breakfasts somewhere else But for the rest the stay was excellent.
Natasha, 3-night trip

This stay was about what I expected. Those who want fancy, this is not your hotel. It was clean. Immediate area is basically an industrial street. We didn't feel unsafe but far from charming. It was less than ten minutes to walk to the Cole Bay Marina area where we found an excellent restaurant. Lagoonies Bistro and Bar had good food with a trendy vibe. Friendly service there. For the price, Carl's was great value for a clean place to rest your head for a night. Light breakfast was included in the price. Lots of stairs for those with mobility issues and luggage. There was no wine cork available even after asking. So we couldn't enjoy our bottle of wine in the evening there since it had a cork. No hair blower in the room but asked and one was brought to us. These are basic hotel items we expect. Bed was noisy and soft. The mattress seemed to cave in the middle. Pillows were fairly flat. I bring my own, so not an issue for me. Linens fresh and clean. Lots of shampoo and conditioner provided. Towels were nice. The water kept changing temperatures during my shower...hot then cold then hot, etc. The staff were nice but I didn't feel like they were overly friendly or cared much about us being there. . Again, for the price, the stay was fine.
