This hotel is dirty and smells like sewer. We had to change rooms twice. The front is very dangerous and dimly lit. There was only one person working in the entire hotel.

While one never gets a second chance at a first impression, I believe, if given another opportunity, you will have a different experience. My Team has been working feverishly to get us where we need to be. Do come create new memories with us!

Check in was seamless, lobby has an artistic look and energy, staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms are simple/cool and beds are extremely comfortable with nice linens. This feels like a motel that has been given an upgrade and done a nice job with that.

This property was clean, the beds were dreamy and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, the location was minutes away from downtown, boardwalk and the beach, it’s quiet but buzzing with guests, the pool was beautiful and lovely... so many things to list. Oh and it’s pet friendly! So many cute doggos!!

I love the Paradox and stay there whenever I'm in Santa Cruz. However, one caution -- bring your own toilet paper! The stuff they have is not up to the quality of everything else at the hotel.

From the moment we stepped out of our car until we left the next day every person on staff was amazing, friendly, helpful, happy and truly wanted you to have the best stay possible! Compliments to the owners, staff and everyone involved in doing a great job with employee satisfaction, which results in guest satisfaction. Enjoyed talking with different staff members about the history of the hotel and how they take care of their employees, and everyone of them had only positive things to say, first time I have experienced this and so happy to know there are companies that take the time to listen to their employees needs and accommodate them when possible and reward them for loyal, excellent service to the company in many different ways! I worked for Apple Computer in it's early days in the Human Resource Dept. and we were doing these types of things for our employees, that was years ago, the company has grown immensely since then and no longer does this as well and as much as it once did, so my hope to your company is that you continue these perks you are passing on to your dedicated staff as you grow, because it is your employees who interface with your guests that are the face of the company and you don't get a second change to make a first impression, so my humble advice is to continue to reward those making that exemplary first impression, because it will always matter to your guests! Keep up the great job and look forward to my next stay-Cynthia Navarro

Lovely Stay

I took my daughter to Santa Cruz for a birthday getaway and found a great deal for Paradox here on Travelocity. The room was lovely - best hotel bed ever, nice climate control, Illy espresso maker, and elegant bathroom (shower only though). Bathrobes were a nice touch, and the linens and towels were yummy soft. Enjoyed the view of the pool. It was quiet, safe and as cozy as I had hoped. The only snafu was that they were running very late on check in - and we didn't get into our room until nearly 5 pm on a Saturday night, rushing our time before a dinner reservation. The staff was courteous and apologetic in the face of the delays but it might have been a nice PR move to offer a drink coupon or waived parking fee. All in all, a lovely stay and I heartily recommend it!
