Within a 15 minute walk, you have access to plenty of dining options, casino(s), and shopping. Ample parking. Located between Phillipsburg and the airport. You get a voucher to choose a few items from the bakery for breakfast every morning.

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.

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.

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.
