What's New at Carlsbad Inn
We've been busy sprucing up your home away from home! From new kitchen cabinets, flooring and soft goods, to in-room safes in all units - we've taken your feedback from last year's annual meeting and are making some beautiful improvements we know you'll love.
We also have some larger maintenance projects that are underway, including waterproofing and roof repairs.
Beach Access
We've reported a few times on the City of Carlsbad's project to improve all public beach access points along Ocean Street, including the beach access behind Carlsbad Inn. Here's an update:
- Work is currently in progress for the Carlsbad Village Drive access and the City has informed us that our beach access is next.
- The start date is expected to be around the end of April with hopes of being complete in time for Memorial Day weekend.
- The project includes a crosswalk leading from our back steps, across the street to our Cabana entry.
- The plan will provide a new patio with benches, bike racks, and lighting at the top of the steps, and all new stairs and railing leading down to the beach.
We are excited to see this new improvement and love the fact that it is being done totally from City funding!

I want to celebrate with you our BE EPIC Champion of the Year by announcing Janelle Hoskins, Activities Supervisor, as the honorable winner!
Janelle with David Brown (left), Co-President of Grand Pacific Resorts, and Nigel Lobo (right), Chief Operating Officer for Grand Pacific Resorts, at the company's Best of the Best awards gala.
Janelle, as most of you know, has been an essential part of the Activities program over the last four years.
She loves kids and takes the time to connect with them when they join her for Activities.
Janelle, though a little shy, does not go unnoticed by our guests. She regularly receives positive comments from parents acknowledging her. Janelle is very passionate about the Owner and Guest Experience.
I know many of you already know Janelle and will happily support our choice for this great honor! Please congratulate her on your next visit!
Warm regards,
