An excellent hotel on the beach. Doesn't feel like a hotel at all, very cosy area with low rise condo like buildings all round. We had a room just above the reception area, so its just a step away from the main road. Nice breakfast served and there is a large dining area that's open all day, nice place for... More

What a find! Picked based on other reviews here, and stayed two nights in the ocean front king. Nothing quite like going to sleep and waking up to the roar of the waves just outside the slider. Large rooms, freshly remodeled, nice bathrooms, great hot tub, more than adequate complimentary continental breakfast, helpful staff with great advise to great local... More

This is the best beach hotel we've ever stayed at in SoCal. The rooms were huge, well appointed and spotless. The breakfast room was airy and looked out over the pool toward the ocean. Nice way to enjoy a bagel and a coffee first thing in the morning! Irene, was a very nice lady that worked in the breakfast room.... More

I hosted a reception for about 40 people at Beach Terrace Inn this weekend. Their meeting room is simply and beautifully decorated, empasizing the stunning ocean view. The room fit 40 people comfortably. The adjoining deck expands the capacity, at least on sunny days! The event coordinator, Constance, was a delight to work with. She suggested a wonderful caterer, arranged... More

My wife and I just spent Sunday and Monday night here at the Beach Terrace Inn. This was our second stay at this property. The last time we were here, we stayed in one of the pool view rooms which also had a full view of the ocean and the beach. (My review for that stay is here on Trip... More

My parents and I recently spent the Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend/holiday at the Beach Terrace Inn in Carlsbad, CA. I've been in hotels before where it boasted of ocean views and spacious rooms, and they were either exaggerating or lying. Not at this place!! The hotel sits right on the beach. The room was huge, we had 2 king... More

We have been staying at this property regularly for more than ten years. Many hotels promote the idea of being close to the ocean, but this is one of the very few in Southern California to be located literally right on the sand. The beach is beautiful and Carlsbad is a vibrant community with a lot of dining options. The... More

My husband and I stayed 3 nights (2 nights-3rd night free) in the Ocean Front King and were delighted with the room, view of the beach/ocean and access to the beach. I had been needlessly worried about the online picture of the room view matching the actual view - it was better. The reservation process and service was excellent, parking... More

This is probably one of the best properties I've ever stayed at, and I have travelled a lot. The location, right on the beautiful Carlsbad beach, quiet. The architecture and design of the buildings and rooms is very nicely done, with high quality and attention to detail. We had a very large room, balcony overlooking the ocean, spacious bathroom. Beds... More
