I recently stayed at the Colonial Terrace in Jan. 2012 celebrating my Partners Birthday. All of the Staff was very accomodating and a pleasure to ineract with. With Customer Service on a decline these days everywhere you go, it was a pleasant surprise to find the old-fashioned values of courtesy and politeness with the staff. This Work Culture starts from... More

Stayed for a two night weekend get away. We were in room 7, which has a nice walk in closet w/shelving for items, rod including hangers, and enough space to store suitcases so as not to keep them in room. Our room was comfortable. Yes, it could use some decorating but the architecture of the room gave it ambience. Bathroom... More

Stayed here in December 2011. Like that its close to the beach, quiet area away from the bustle of the main part of Carmel and the shops. You can hear the surf at night and have a filtered ocean view from some rooms and some of the common outdoor areas. We always walk to town, its a 10-15 minute stroll.... More

We stayed at the Colonial Terrace in the summer of 2008 and remembered the place fondly as having an excellent location, very close to the beach and within walking distance of the shops and restaurants. The grounds were lovely and well kept and the staff was very helpful and pleasant, the breakfast was very satisfying, and the afternoon cookies were... More

Spent two nights at the Colonial Terrace in January. The weather was great through-out (a great time of year to visit this part of California). The room was large and comfortable. Only downside was that it got cold at night despite an (electric) fireplace in the room. It was set on a timer so kept switching off. The location and... More

Stayed at The Colonial Terrace for a few nights in October. Had the room just behind the office (room 17 I believe). Its a little hike from the shopping area but since you'll most likely have a car, its not a big deal.. Just a few streets over from the beach. Room and grounds were well maintained. They offer a...

First I would tend to agree with most of the reviewers. It really depends on where you get your room. Our room was on the second floor but the views of the beach and water were negligent at best. The staff was actually pretty good and wonderful. They were able to guide us to the better places in town. The... More

We had two rooms, one (number 6) was really tiny, dark and just next to the laundry (so staff kept on coming and going) and it was quite old inside. The other one (number 4) was much nicer and quite big (2 very comfy queen size beds), but also looking old. The blinds don't really fit to the window so... More
