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.

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.

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.
