Awesome space.
My family of 4 stayed at Hotel Paradox last year and got our family together for some family time, this year. We rented 3 rooms, during this trip. The staff here are friendly and professional. Some things worth considering... Our rooms were not ready at check-in, and an ADA approved room, which was requested and confirmed days before, was not available upon arrival. This made check in difficult for our matriarch. We also had 3 rooms in 3 different floors, which was ridiculous but at least we got our steps in each time we were visiting each other. Still, we enjoyed our stay and love that pets are welcome. There were always poop bags available, too. TMI, but it's appreciated. We also love the amenities. The pool heater was not working during some of our stay, but it was fixed in the nick of time. We also appreciate the safe space the lobby provided for everyone during the New Years countdown. We had 3 generations of very happy and safe people at Hotel Paradox. Thank you for your work and care.

Disappointed.
The toilet did not fully flush. Also, the sink was clogged the entire time. But our stay was during the days right before Christmas, so we were out and about during the day and preoccupied with visiting family. And when we returned to our hotel room, we just wanted to fall asleep. So, the basic amenities we paid for were not available when we really needed them. I will NEVER stay at this location again.

My back says I’m not allowed to book here again.
Had to take muscle relaxers to sleep because my mattress was way, way too painfully soft to support my back. Overall, far too much to spend on a basic hotel on Ocean Street when neither parking or breakfast are included.

We booked this late at the last minute and it fit our needs. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The bar and lobby were spacious, although service was a little lean as the bartender had to take food orders, make and serve drinks, serve food and run the register. Menu was sufficient. Food was OK.

Wonderful experience!
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.

Nice Hotel - Bad Services
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.

Paradox Vibes
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.

Nice Property rooms needs some TLC
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.
