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

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.

It was perfect for our stay for the night before leaving on the cruise. I'm not sure it would work for a longer stay, as it is quite a distance from other areas we wished to visit on St. Maarten.
