Ratings and reviews
3.0 / 10.0
The hotel is nice but lacks a few things such as robes and slippers. The staff is friendly & location is convenient for accessing downtown area.
5.0 / 10.0
I found this hotel charming, cool, and clean, and overall, it was just a great experience. My room was spacious and comfortable. The pool area was cool for a rogue 70-degree warmer winter day. The staff was super friendly, and with the low season rates, I'd say it certainly was a bang for my buck. 10/10 would recommend. I'm not sure why there are so many poor reviews; I thought this place fire.

The hotel charged parking fees for both rooms, even though I only had one car. Despite several emails and calls to address the issue, the hotel has not refunded the extra payment.

Such a charming spot, especially with great prices during the low season—though it can get a bit hectic in high season. The pool and hot tub are standout features, and the revamped dining room is a vibe.

Visiting Santa Cruz for a quick weekend. Our room needed a little tlc. The walls, ceiling and curtains needed some attention; repaint, clean and replace the ripped curtain. Beds were comfortable. Refillable water stations on each floor was great to have. There were a few events during our stay which made the bar/restaurant area busy and loud. The property of the hotel was very nice in design.

My room was next door to the in-house laundry machines. The washing machine ran nonstop until 11:00 PM. The room wasn’t that clean. Hair in the bathroom and trash on the floor in the bathroom. The room was also very run down. Lots of wear and tear. The wallpaper in the bathroom was actually stapled together.

I have stayed at Hotel Paradox probably about 10 times over the past few years. The first time we stayed, we thought it was a very elegant hotel, each time since then the experience has been a little downgraded. They used to have robes for the guests to wear to the pool, they don’t anymore. Some of the lights in the room were not working right. The Pool area was rebuilt a few years ago, but they did a poor job with the lounge chairs. When the material was new, it looked fabulous now it looks stained and dirty. We still like the hotel And will probably stay there again, but it went from five stars to four stars for us.

Pros: I like the cool vibe and decor of this hotel. It has a great pool and in ground spa. Quiet.
Cons: needs upkeep and room quality doesn't feel congruent with the price you pay.

Felt like a motel that had been cheaply renovated. The rooms were small, the restaurant food was not great. The pool was small and overcrowded.

the hotel was pet friendly which is a plus since we were traveling with our dogs, but the service was minimal. The room wasn’t done cleaning by 4pm.

The hotel is nice, but the sound of the lifts all night was bad. With two children it was a nightmare. The staff give us a refund as they knew it was a problem which they have every night!

Enjoyed the stay, nice room and pool area for family. Only complaint was a bad odor that seemed to be wafting into the room from the bathroom.

A good visit, we enjoyed the pool and the beds were comfortable however our bathroom was falling apart and needed some renovations. Felt expensive for the quality of the room. Location was decent but not walkable to boardwalk with small kids. Restaurant staff very nice and we enjoyed the food by the pool.

We were here at what is probably the busiest time of year, but the pool was packed, crowded, and noisy from 8am to 10pm. I could still hear kids running around noisily past 10:30pm. Rooms were not sound-proof. We were only here for one night while doing college tours, so it did not feel worth the price. I paid extra to get a hotel with a pool but it was so packed when we arrived that we never used it.
