The pictures of the rooms were somewhat deceptive, but the pool and amenities were fun. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom and shower were great. Downside was the restaurant, the food was only ok -- the staff just ignored us when we tried to order. Great location in downtown Santa Cruz.

I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived to the hotel and first walked into the lobby. The lobby and restaurant area was very nicely done and inviting. The staff member that checked us in was very friendly and helpful. We ended up having a slight issue with our reservation but the staff member more than took care of us and made it right. The room was good although there were some damaged areas that hadn’t been repaired. Someone prior to us pulled the toilet paper holder out of the wall and there was a large gap between the tile and where the water filler for the bathtub was. This did not effect our stay but was noticeable. We had breakfast at the restaurant the next morning and it was delicious. The options were excellent and the taste was to die for. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone else loooijg.

If you can’t staff the restaurant, just close it.

This was my third stay at the Hotel Paradox but it will be my last. Our room smelled like bad body odor, but we were not able to change rooms. The pool was very nice, but the restaurant service was very poor. There was supposed to be a server taking orders at the pool, but they were so short staffed. I was told several times that people just don’t often show up for work. I had to go to the bar to order the food myself and then the orders would never be placed. It happened three times in three days. When the food did come, some items came an hour after other food items. I normally would’t say anything, but for $425 a night, a hotel should have impeccable service.

Nice pool but hot tub water was yellow and was crowded with adults. Food was delicious. Room walls not painted completely with ceiling peeling and bathroom was dirty. Towels were not cleaned and full of hair. Hallway floor to room broke and only had tape over it no hazard sign. Hurt my foot tripping over it couple of Times. The bed was super comfortable though and got some great sleep because of it.

Great stay, trendy fun place.

We chose this hotel due to the pool and lobby which turned out to be the right decision. The kids had a great time at the pool and the loungers and poolside service was great. The lobby was just a vibe and was a great place to play games in the evening. Easy walk to the Boardwalk, about 20 minutes and walking distance to places for breakfast and Starbucks. Great place for families but was also quiet where we stayed on the 5th floor. Additionally when we meeded extra towels, they were delivered fast which is sometimes nit the case at other hotels.

Not sure I’d stay here again

We booked a 1-bedroom suite so we could have a separate area for our kids to sleep at night. Layout of room was very awkward, and furniture dinged up / clearly missing a picture on the wall. Flashback to my college dorm room. To top it off for our premium stay it was next to the elevator and we could hear it going up and down 24/7 even with a noise machine. Only 2 towels in the bathroom - had to go down to ask for more. They couldn’t tell me when they would be able to send someone up with more (I had to tell them I wanted to take them back with me since I had little kids and we wanted to take showers) Pool. Overcrowded one day since they also sell resort passes. Staff never brought out enough towels. People constantly asked for them and they would bring out 10 at a time. Not sure why they couldn’t just fill the cabinets so there were plenty. Pool itself was very dirty. Tiles didn’t look like it had been cleaned in weeks and there was caked on grime all over. You could write in it with your nail. Hot tub was a shade of green- looked like algae was starting to grow. And the grime was disgusting in there. They had an app to order food for room service. Wasn’t intuitive to use. Tried to call to place a phone order and the mailbox was full. I think they need a better management team or more housekeeping staff to make this place run smoother. And explain how the app works at check in…. Not sure we would stay here again- overpriced and slept horribly.
