Hotel Paradox is the place to stay when coming to Santa Cruz! Such a great location! Such a great property! Walking distance to a lot of the shops and dining! Or driving if you don’t want to walk! This hotel being dog friendly is such a plus! The rooms are spacious and very well designed! The ONLY thing that caught us by slight surprise was the $28 a night for parking. Not a crazy big deal though! Oh! And let’s not forget the heated pool and hot tub!!! Such a big plus after a long day of exploring! Would definitely stay here again in the future!

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.

Lovely property, great service, excellent restaurant. Lots more amenities than we could indulge in during our short stay. Planning to return.

Good stey
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.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Second time here, love the vibe…clean, friendly staff, able to check in early…love the game options (ping pong, shuffle board table, etc) and pool is great.
Melissa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

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.
