"Great value, especially if you're travelling without a dog. Convenient location for travelers. Lot's of kids heading to Lego Land. Quiet nonetheless. Tightly run, high quality, recent build (stayed in 2026). Their premium for dogs was high, so that's a knock. Added 35% to the nightly fee."

Beach Terrace

Travelocity Verified Review

"We’ve been to the Beach Terrace Inn several times over the years and enjoy it. This visit was ok but I was disappointed that the website had said the property had sand on its beach but upon arrival found the beach was rock only. I felt that the website was misleading, I feel the amenities fee was pricy considering we couldn’t go down to the beach. The staff in the past typically would set up chairs and towels on the sand but since the beach was rocks, that was an amenity that we could not take advantage of but yet was still charged. There were wildfires going on in the area and extreme heat. Perhaps extra water free of charge might have been a nice touch to provide for loyal patrons who were experiencing a less than ideal beach experience? But alas, no..,When I asked, the request was met with a surprised face and an offer for me to purchase water from the lobby. No thanks. I will walk to 7-11 instead. Great little hotel but felt service could have been a little more in tune with the fact that it was a weekend of extreme heat, no sand on a beach that has been specifically advertised as having sand, and wild fires. We will probably return in the future but I would say this put a bit of a bad taste in our mouths."
