Three Arch Inn

Beautiful stay, great hosts, can’t wait to stay again! Clean, simple, comfy, great bed and magnificent view. Loved it.

This was my Christmas gift and it turned out to be the best gift ever… with the exception of my engagement! The room is sparkling clean and obviously well maintained. We stayed three days and it was quiet and peacefu. The bed was comfortable and huge!!! The massive swimming pool …(jetted bathtub!) was one of the highlights of our trip! We recommend this guesthouse with no
reservations (see how I did that?)

If you are looking for your holiday oceanside retreat to get away from it all… This is it. Spectacular view. A great comfortable bed. Nice bathrooms. Awesome new management that is extremely friendly, down to earth and all around great people.
It is clean, modern, and steps away from the beach. The price is reasonable. Other ocean towns along the coast have the shops and junk to take your money. This town and inn is perfect. I will be coming back again and am already planning ways to bring back my friends for group retreats!

We had the only non-​pet-​friendly room, as we have allergies. It was very clean, very comfortable, spacious, and had a great view of the beach and ocean! The staff was friendly and helpful. All in all, a great place to stay! My only regret is that the windows did not open (there was A/​C and heat, controllable from the room). The wondows not opening, combined with some sort of machinery that made a slight «hum,» meant we really didn’t hear the ocean much from our room. Would’ve liked to sleep hearing the waves… If you don’t get the email from them with the entry instructions by 48 hours before you are due there, I suggest calling them. We didn’t get a confirmation email, nor did we get the instruction email, until we called to ask for those. The messages weren’t in our inbox or in our spam folder, and the staff seemed to feel that they had sent the messages, so i am not sure what happened. But the messages did appear within a few minutes of telephoning the inn, so there was no problem. And I loved having a code to enter the room. great not to have to carry a key!

What a great view! We loved our room (#4) and we’ll definitely stay here again when we want to go to the coast. I can see how the check in procedure (or lack there of) could be challenging but luckily for us there was someone around to show us the ropes as we had not received an email before our arrival with a door code for our room. Cell service is almost nonexistent but the Inn does have free wifi once you get in to your room.

This place has some good things going for it: great view, Oceanside is a lovely quiet beach town, 2 minute walk to the beach, comfy giant king size beds with nice linens, and microwave/​mini fridge in the room (at least in room 4). BUT, the lack of access to a «real live person» before and during the stay needs some work.
I get that they are trying to handle things as automatedly as possible (online reservations, keyless entry to rooms requiring no check in/​out, limited front desk hours) and I can understand that. I would expect that this keeps the price as low as they can offer. But, this system didn’t worked so well for me.
When I had a question about a room I was interested in reserving, I didn’t receive an email back with an answer for 2 days. When I was supposed to be emailed my entry code 48 hours before the trip, at about 12 hours before the trip, I noticed I hadn’t received it. After checking all of my email (including spam) for the past week, I called them to inquire about this and on the automated message, I was given about 4 different ways to leave a message, but no way to talk to a real person. Just to try every form of communication I emailed about this issue too. Luckily, within a half hour I got a voicemail back giving me the code, but with the statement «We already sent you the code» and then an email to follow up, but again, with the statement «We already sent you the code» as if this issue was on me, not them. That’s just not how you do customer service.
They also have changed some policies since last time I visited (check in time is now 2:30, not 2:00pm) but many of their paperwork/​emails still says 2:00pm. This caused a problem when we showed up at about 2:15pm and our code didn’t work to get in our room and the front desk isn’t staffed at that time. Luckily, my husband was able to use the phone at Brewin in the Wind downstairs (cell service is spotty in Oceanside) and got a hold of someone.
So, I’d like to try them out again but I hope they can take this feedback and make the changes necessary for more smooth transactions in the future.

This place is awesome. The view & location could not be better. The only thing is I wish the café would open at 5am when I’m ready for my coffee. I had to wait until 7am which wasn’t perfect… Honestly, the staff were great. The place was quiet, dog friendly and a perfect stay!

I want this place all to myself.

Great view! Friendly innkeeper. Jetted tub was lovely. This is also a great value. Be sure to have a meal at the restaurant on the lower level.
