Overview

Best Western Plus operates a 24-seat permanent food service facility in Palm Coast with a Risk Level 1 designation. The facility has accumulated 102 violations across 21 inspections since 2022, averaging 4.9 violations per inspection—slightly below the statewide average of 5.2. However, the compliance pattern shows significant deterioration: the most recent inspection on January 23, 2026 identified 18 violations including three high-priority violations (management awareness, allergen awareness, and chemical storage), marking the worst performance in the facility's record. Prior inspections in October 2024 and March 2024 also resulted in high-priority findings related to employee health policy, proper handwashing, and food contact surfaces. The facility has been subject to two disciplinary actions totaling $920 in fines. The most recent inspection was completed with no further action, but the elevated violation count and pattern of management-level findings across multiple inspections indicate recurring systemic compliance issues.
