Beach Terrace Inn is the only hotel in Carlsbad with beach front access
Beautiful quaint hotel right on the ocean. Hear the waves crashing from your room. Plenty of chairs to sit by the pool or in the sand. You won't want to stay anywhere else!

We stayed in a 1 king, oceanfront room with 3 adults and 4 kids under 4. Definitely go for the oceanfront if it’s in your budget- the view is spectacular and it’s super convenient to pool and beach access. The room is humongous- we put up 2 pack-n-plays and 2 toddler air mattresses and it worked great. The service is outstanding- we really enjoyed the beach concierge and everyone who worked there was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok- Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches and carb-y things, but it gets the job done! The sweet ladies at breakfast even heated up milk every morning for my littles! It is a short walk into the cute town and there you can find everything you want/need. The hot tub is small, but the heated pool was really nice! If you are looking for a family friendly hotel- this one is a gem!
We love staying here. Started coming here 30 years ago. It’s been fun watching the improvements made over the years made to this hotel. Most importantly the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Hope to come here for years to come.
There is no question that the beachfront location of this hotel is awesome. The property is otherwise very dated and has very few amenities. If it were moderately priced, I would give it 5. Given that we paid $400/night, I didn't feel like it offered the luxurious elements you would expect from a hotel at that price.
We spent a night at a "resort" in Mission Bay and it wasn't great. Reserved the next 3 nights at Beach Terrace Inn and had a wonderful stay. The staff is awesome. We thought the breakfast had a great variety, compared to some of the reviews we had read. Our ocean front room was well worth it. Beautiful views. All chairs, towels, umbrellas are included in your stay and so is parking. The room we had was clean and large. There was a bit of a musty smell in it and we found a piece of popcorn under a chair were the only downsides. We do wish there would've been a sliding glass screen on the door, so we felt comfortable leaving the door open. They don't have an elevator, but the staff is more than willing to help with luggage. I had researched a lot of places and this was the best ocean front around for a pretty reasonable rate that includes parking, breakfast, and beach equipment use. It was also in a nice area, compared to what our Mission Beach "Resort" was in.
Would recommend to everyone!
The accommodations were superior. Rented the gathering room for our reunion dinner Saturday. Personnel was friendly and helpful during the weekend. The remodeled rooms allow for business stay or vacation stay.
