Best Western Plus South Coast Inn

2.5 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (1001)
"The hotel is well worth the price. It has EV charging stations, a beautiful garden, and very clean pool. Breakfast was standard American breakfast, with many options. For me, the downsides are 1. beds are too soft. 2. It was very noisy when people dragged their luggage around, especially because we were on the first floor. I got waken up multiple times in the morning because of that. "
