This is a beautiful hotel on the sand. Beautiful rooms, staff, pool area with fire pits, beach staff that set up chairs and umbrellas on the beach free of charge (but tip), delicious breakfast delivered to your door if you order. Been coming here since before it was remodeled 15 years ago . I have traveled extensively throughout the world and yet this hotel remains my happy place💜☀️⛱️

awesome property right on the beach. Pool located on the deck above the beach hit it as well. Guest can enjoy the fire pits along the pool. plenty of amenities to enjoy such as complementary breakfast every morning or your option to have breakfast in bed. The staff was always a text away and ready to help at any time. We also enjoyed writing the complementary bikes as we rode through Carlsbad Village. Which is walking distance from the hotel. We enjoyed your stay we’ll be telling friends and family about the property.

Drop Off in Service

Beach Terrace Inn is our favorite inn in Carlsbad. We've been a loyal customer for over 14 years. We love the convenience to the town, the beach. However, this past trip we encountered problems with housekeeping. They're definitely understaffed. We don't know whether it's due to the higher minimum wage in California or the increase in immigration enforcement but they had problems keeping up, We even had one day when there was no housekeeping, We had to go to the front desk to get fresh towels.

I like the Beach Terrace because it’s really close to the Beach. Dining options is just around the area. Friendly staff from their Guests service to their beach service. Free use of their beach umbrellas, chair and towels. The hotel is simple outside but with amazing room's design. I love their bathroom so much. I like the idea of free breakfast but it’s so cold. It’s a very nice first experience but definitely not the last. I will keep you in my list whenever I will visit Carlsbad Beach. Thank you for your fast and friendly service.
