Will be back again!

Our time here was amazing and we absolutely can’t wait to stay again. The hotel has the mid century California vibe with all the modern amenities. Service was outstanding. We had such a good time we cancelled our dinner reservation in town to stay at the pool where we had drinks and food brought to our very comfortable lounge chairs. We would probably go for the lower level rooms by the pool with the sweet patios and amazing scent from the star jasmine for our next trip!

Hotel Paradox is a gem in Santa Cruz. This hotel will hopefully set the tone for hotel improvement in the area. It is beautifully appointed. Very clean and beachy vibe. The pool area is very nice and is complimented by a nice bar and restaurant. The lobby is welcoming to families and has games for kids to play. The rooms were spacious.

Small room switch/trouble with reimbursement

My stay at Hotel Paradox was disappointing at the least. I did not get the room I reserved. I was downgraded to a smaller room which was very small with a the bathroom was not accommodating at all. I checked out early the next day and now I am having trouble being reimbursed for the night that I didn't stay even though the reservation was not held and I was given an inferior room.

It is a beautiful hotel, noted both couples as well as families having fun. But what I really appreciated the most was the staff. Every interaction was positive, they all were helpful and friendly. The first thing as soon as I walked to get registered, I noted their smiles. They are Pet friendly too… It was a wonderful experience…
