Best Western Plus South Coast Inn offers a pleasant stay in a lush environment, ideal for relaxation. The property features a large pool area and various outdoor spaces for guests to enjoy, including a complimentary breakfast served in a lovely setting. While many guests appreciate the clean and spacious rooms equipped with amenities like coffee machines and refrigerators, some have noted issues such as loud air conditioning. The front desk staff have been described as courteous, although there are mentions of limited training in guest accommodation. Location is a highlight, as it is conveniently close to shopping, dining, and local attractions like UCSB and the harbor. Guests feel safe in the clean neighborhood and enjoy the easy walkability to nearby amenities. Overall, while there are areas for improvement, including breakfast service and room maintenance, the positive experiences with the staff's accommodating service, especially in challenging situations, enhance the hotel's appeal for future visits.
Disappointed in my experience here. Overpriced and under serviced. Front desk was nice, but not trained in guest accommodation. Breakfast was locked up before the posted 9:00am close, and the variety was limited and the same for the 4 days I was there.

The property is very lush - the pool area is large and there were many outdoor areas for lounging (playing ping pong) and having the complimentary breakfast outside. It was a lovely feeling - what you would expect for the Santa Barbara area.
