Very clean room - very nice staff.

Un poco lejos del centro y del bus

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.

If you want a quit wonderful friendly place to stay, this is it! The staff are extremely helpful, friendly, supportive and willing to help you with any issues or concerns you might have. They went out of their way to help me out with anything I needed. Very Nice location and handmade breakfast food and drinks. I would definitely recommend it! Thanks so much!!

Pas pour les personnes qui n'aiment pas les escaliers. 2 étages d'escaliers sans ascenseur

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.

I just spent a night, it was ok but lean and comfortable.

Very good 😊

Helpful staff and clean and comfortable room!

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.

It was ok.

Was very clean in my room. I stayed in two different rooms. The one over the bakery was very loud as it was on the street. The other was close to the courtyard and much quieter. A few no seeim bugs and trouble with the tv. I wish they had a recycle bin as they give you two free bottles of water.

Inexpensive and nice.

Budget friendly

very clean and very peaceful.

Scary Place

Dangerous Neighborhood and no elevator or Security.. l didn’t stay.. l want a refund

2 blocks from Lagoonies, my favorite spot in SXM. Convenient. Clean. Simple.

Was great

Quick reliable and breakfast Convenient property.

I loved the size of the room, the Tv and channle choice. The room was large and comfortable. The convenience to the movies, bars and places to eat

There is quiet some stares to climb.

Close to everything I was shopping around for.

Had trouble with the outlet The shower took forever to get hot

Family owned business and family attended, very clean, quaint and a great staff.

All of the Staff I want to tell keep up the Good job

I stayed here and it was really quiet and it's within walking distance of 4 different restaurants the closest being Chinese. It was a 3 minute walk. The staff more specifically the concierge was awesome and super nice. I had time before my flight and he allowed me to leave my suitcase in his office while I explored the area until it was my time to head to the airport and I had a taxi within 10 minutes.

Quick easy reliable stay

The receptionist, Joanne, was very welcoming and remarkably helpful in dealing with a lost luggage problem (by the airline). The rooms are spacious and well furnished with excellent facilities (bath and kitchenette).

Great

Really liked Carl without the son who made us feel welcome and appreciated!

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.

There were lots of steps. Staff was wonderful.

CoCo was amazing and very helpful. We really appreciate him so much!!!! Thanks again!

Would not recommend.

Great stay here. Clean and cleaned daily We rented car but it was vlose enough to restaurants. Great place we would come back

Stayed for 3 weeks in January. Lovely quiet, clean place. Respectful, helpful staff. Challenging to walk/bicycle in the neighborhood . . . no sidewalks.

Rooms were comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

I always love staying here it’s central, comfortable, clean and affordable ❤️

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.

You had access to the busses $1.50 for the fare. The staff were friendly and gave an all round at home vibe. Food delivery was easily accessible. You were able to purchase a local sim card for usage at reception and top up in the bakery while shopping or getting breakfast. The property was clean and well maintained.

Wonderful and very affordable hidden gem. The property does not look fancy from the outside but inside the rooms are very clean and well kept, very minor upgrades needed. Bakery located downstairs, where you get the lovely free breakfast which comes with your booking. Free parking onsite, I recommend getting a rental to move around the island from this area. Very helpful and friendly staff, I had to check out 4 days early & return home due to an emergency and the owner kindly approved a refund although I was not entitled to it because I did not have purchase protection with expedia. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a budget friendly stay and I do plan on coming back myself.

Breakfast was amazing

Nice 2 nights stays

Everything was very clean.

Convenient

Quiet

The room was amazing but the noise I couldn’t take next door . You could of hear everything what the next person doing and it need blankets in the rooms at least it was so cold

Perfect for a business short stay

Hotel was nice, room was very clean and comfy. Only thing missing is an elevator.

I had a great stay. The room was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Every staff member was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!"

Cleanliness

It was Amazing

I love the room it was well neat and it's very quiet .

Continental breakfast is really good. Room was clean and cozy.

Enjoyed the bakery downstairs. Would stay there again.

Some guests were loud please emphasize to guests with a sign to be mindful of other guests on the property

Clean room, excellent breakfast, parking availability, not a noisy neighborhood, spacious bedroom, wifi

Everything was well taken care off, staff very helpful. Check in and check out was handle professionally.

Price is affordable and comes with great amenities for the price, free breakfast and small grocery store down stairs was a plus, also Chinese restaurant close by.

the flat area is on the second floor level. No information to this fakt or possibility for carrying of the luggage up. No separate breakfast room on same floor.

For the price it was as expected

Nice stay

We had a very nice stay here. The bed was comfortable and the location was quiet. Quick walk to Simpson Bay strip for supper. Breakfast was amazing. You’re staying attached to a bakery, need I say more?😋

Very good place to stay.ver

Amazing stay. People at Carls Unique Inn are very nice. Looking to helping you. I strongly recommend this hotel. Is safe, reasonable price. good breakfast and close to all shopping! Specially Anselmo, Teresa and Cecilia. Nice and honest people of St Martin. They speak english, and spanish. Rooms is always clean, bed sheets clean, a first class hotel.

CLEAN ENVIRONMET. PARKING. BREAKFAST

Au top

Au top comme à chaque fois, la chambre très propre et les personnes super agréable

Great property!

The room was clean and comfy. The rooms are on the third floor, below them is a conference/meeting room. There was a party that went on all night past midnight with a full band. This is an old building. Then after being kept up all night we were woken up by a church band. It was so loud I was able to record the band in my room. There needs to be a noise disclaimer in the booking. There was nobody in the lobby after 10pm so nobody to talk to about the issue till the next morning and she could t do anything.

Very clean, large room and quiet. Staff is very helpful. Close to good food, grocery stores and the bay. 10 min walk. Not in a tourist section so you get a good deal for your money.

My stay for the night was very pleasant

Poor all around

No hot water no elevator no bar for hanging towels. Not a working sink. Toilet doesn’t flush.

Great place to stay

I love staying at this property, it is close the movies and very convenient. I love the free breakfast, clean and comfortable rooms and the friendly staff. I look forward to my next stay.

All went as expected. Will stay here again

Amazing service and clean room

easy place to stay near where boat was

There was no staff at the desk to check us in. Another guest gave us their room and went to stay with a friend. We were unable to get anyone on the phone.

The property was extremely clean and the rooms were huge with lots of amenities. It is close enough to town to walk to some other locations. The staff was lovely and extremely helpful.

The staff very friendly

Rooms are new and clean. I’d stay here again.

Great people. Industrial area. Walked a lot

Very good value for money

I loved my stay. Very clean and quiet, plus comfy beds. Great location and a nice breakfast.

relatively cheap, clean , rooms are spacious. difficult to regulate the hot water in the showers very run down area in back or property with garbage that could easily be removed

So far so good. Not looking good from outside but the room was nice and complete. Comfortable room...

Great spot, make sure you grab the breakfast included from the bakery!

The breakfast was fantastic Did not like the stairwell

The pictures are misleading. The place is the worst motel I’ve ever seen. The place felt downright unsafe. We left without checking in and without regard to consequences.

Clean accommodations and courteous staff. We only needed rooms for one night prior to leaving for a cruise, Carl’s was perfect.

Home away from Home

Twas great

The room was great and the complimentary breakfast was excellent!

overall experience was great as well as breakfast

stay here was great the only thing i saw was ants around the face sink area every time i went to brush my teeth

Qualité et prix au top

Chambre très propre, personne à l’accueil au top, il a su répondre à toutes nos attentes et nos questions. Petit dej sympa. Nous y reviendrons c’est sûr.

Excellent value for the money and the free breakfast sandwiches were delicious!

Excellent value for the money. The best breakfast sandwiches, came complimentary with the room and that was a wonderful touch. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent Stay. Very responsive. I would say one of the best experiences of St marteen.

Amazing hotel. Room was large, spacious, and clean. Breakfast came with coffee, juice, fresh pastry and fresh sandwhich (made to order). Withiut a doubt this was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Last but definitely not least, the staff is extremely friendly and always willing to help

A nice roof top patio surprise.

In spite of the unexpected stairs, we appreciated the comfort of the room and the friendliness of the staff. However keep in mind you need a car to go around as there is not a choice if restaurants to go around the place. The hotel is located in not the best of neighborhood but we never felt unsafe while walking to the cash only Chinese restaurant with the huge food portions.

Great place to stay. Very convenient location and excellent staff. Highly recommend.

The property was kept very clean on a daily basis. the first floor restaurant/bakery was extremely handy for guests. There was limited parking available around the building during the daylight hours. The hotel rooms were on the third floor with stairs the only access for guests and luggage. The Expedia description does not mention this.

Was nice and clean for an older Hotel, Was hard to find and there were too many steps for my wife. Breakfast was fair.
