Comfortable and Convenient.
Greatly enjoyed our time at this hotel. It was comfortable and lively. I wished the restaurant had more vegetarian options but overall it was lovely. My only complaint is the smoky smell from the vents whenever we would turn on the air conditioning or the bathroom vent.

great stay
The Paradox is in a good location to access the main Santa Cruz locations you might be coming for- downtown and wharf/boardwalk- and easy to drive to any other locations. It is not close to the UC but easy to get to. If you like walking, getting to the beach was an easy 7 or so blocks. The property was immaculate and modern. Parking lot is safe and easy, though paying to park is not a plus for me. The pool is lovely, warm, and and well protected. Our room was very clean and the mattress was really comfortable (I like firmer pillows personally so might bring one of my own next time) Had a small issue getting the temp right but figured it out. Everyone was helpful and friendly and I would definitely stay there again- have stayed overnight at various hotels in the area and I like this one the best for one that is not on the beach.

The Paradox is a great place, but i left an item in the room and called everday for a week to inquire if it was found. It seemed impossible for anyone from Housekeeping or the front desk to actually get back to me. Left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Ehh
I liked the hotel its self. However, there were blood stains in the bed sheets and our room smelled like mold and mildew. Like it hadnt been stayed in, in quite a long time. Make sure you remember parking is $28 a night as well. No free breakfast which would be fine if it werent for the bad condition of the rooms. The beds are very hard and lumpy. You have to call and request early check in the same day as your reservation and even then they will not give you straight direct confirmation of am exact time your room will be ready. 4pm check in time is too late. However, the staff and heated pool and hot tub were wonderful.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing stay with poor customer service
My fiancé and I stayed at this hotel during a work event with a large group from SJFD, and it was our first getaway without the kids in months. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. After getting back from dinner, we discovered the shower drain was completely clogged, causing water to pool after just a couple of minutes of use. To make things worse, the shower handle was faulty, making it difficult to turn off. This made showering during our stay virtually impossible—definitely not the relaxing experience we were hoping for, especially considering the cost of the stay. When we mentioned these issues to the front desk staff at checkout, the response was disappointing. The woman we spoke to didn’t apologize or acknowledge the inconvenience and lacked basic empathy for the situation. For what we paid, we expected a much better experience and customer service.

Under-resourced kitchen, costly parking
Breakfast service was sorely understaffed and under-supplied. No fruit and no croissant sandwiches for the 4 nights we were there. Kids splashing around the hot tub day and night, through the adult only hours. The towels ran out and weren't refilled for hours. And WOW, parking costs almost $30/night. This isn't located on the beach or a population-dense neighborhood. It's a cheap cash-grab. Positives: Staff was friendly and helpful. The art throughout was really spectacular. It made us want to come back. Filtered water on most floors was awesome.
