"The location is okay, up in the mountains. You can drive directly up. It's about a ten-minute walk from the hotel to a street with plenty of food options. A little further on, you can reach the beach. The room facilities were a bit damp; there's room for improvement."

"Our one-night stay at 12 Senses was exactly what we had hoped for: a beautiful, clean room, a quiet night of sleep, kind service, delicious breakfast. The “Fire” room is elegant, thoughtfully designed, beautifully appointed with a wool mattress and topper; great linens; a spotless tile floor, a gas fireplace (instead of a tv); and creative soundproofing - check out the recycled corrugated leather and felted wall….. The room came with lovely special touches: two bottles of Prosecco on ice and loose leaf chamomile tea that was fresh and delicious - chocolate, too. Wonderful coffee. Owner Anke has mastered green design as well as great hospitality. Although we didn’t make use of the rooftop lounge and open-air kitchen, they are beautiful and inviting. A more private location might have brought our stay to the next level, as the building sits on a well-traveled corner across from a school in a dense neighborhood. Nonetheless, the area was absolutely quiet the night we were there. Much gratitude and admiration for the vibe and beauty at 12 Senses!"

"This property is a dream. The details in the room are unmatched in my experience from the floral tea bath to the lit tea light candles when you walk in. I especially enjoyed the lotion bar on the bedside. A few minutes walk from the beach and great restaurants I’ll absolutely be back!"

"Located next to the train tracks this somewhat shabby hotel is definitely thin on amenities and would be more of a 3 star range in regards to condition of the room, quality of the comfort of the beds, and overall feel of the place. It’s got a rundown sort of feel and needs a serious updating"

"It’s too expensive, not include breakfast no breakfast at all "

"We stayed at this Hampton Inn due to its proximity to Scripps Encinitas Hospital for outpatient surgery. This worked quite well for our 5:30 am check-in. The hotel itself is clean, modern and has excellent outdoor parking The complimentary breakfast was good and the staff accommodated our request for late check-out as the surgery and recovery for a family member was longer than expected. We could not have asked for more and will return when the need arises again."
