[edit] Carey Martin Information

Carey is the mother of twin boys, Zack & Cody, and works as the headline singer at the Tipton Hotel, where she lives in a suite on the 23rd floor with the twins. She is divorced from Kurt Martin who is also a musician. She likes Maddie, the candy counter girl for the Tipton, and is always there for her when something goes wrong. Carey also likes London Tipton, the daughter of the hotel's owner. She also spends some time with Muriel, one of the lazy maids. Carey's employer is Mr. Marion Moseby.

Carey, like Mr. Moseby—though, not quite as much as he—spends a lot of her time foiling Zack and Cody's pranks and is often embarrassed or shocked by some of their antics, but she loves them very much. She is also considered "not fun" and in her attempts to be fun Cody worries stating "Who are you, and what have you done with my mother?", clearly stating he was serious when he asked her. Carey is a very talented singer and loves her headliner job at the hotel. In addition to that, she is also seen as being exceedingly cheap in several episodes. Shortly after finding her first gray hair, she changed her hair to a darker color.

When she tells Zack and Cody about something likely to be a poor moral, it usually includes something similar to the situation Zack and Cody are in, and then ends with her then current boyfriend dumping her. She seems to have had a lot of boyfriends that have dumped her, and she has two rival ex-boyfriends as seen in The Fairest of Them All and Commercial Breaks.

She was the lead singer in the Tipton's commercial. Carey found her talent for singing by accident when she entered a talent show doing stand-up comedy, but when she didn't get any audience laughs, she sang out of desperation. She doesn't cook often. She is also fancied by Arwin Hawkhauser. As revealed in Moseby's Big Brother, she has a younger sister whom she does not talk to.

In an alternate universe, Carey Martin is a really famous singer who still lives at the Tipton, but doesn't care for Zack and Cody, ditching her maternal role in reality. Her manager/crush is Arwin, as revealed in the episode The Suite Smell of Excess.

She shops at "Cheap Charlie's" as shown in Have A Nice Trip.
