Our usual stay in Santa Cruz
I have stayed at Hotel Paradox probably about 10 times over the past few years. The first time we stayed, we thought it was a very elegant hotel, each time since then the experience has been a little downgraded. They used to have robes for the guests to wear to the pool, they don’t anymore. Some of the lights in the room were not working right. The Pool area was rebuilt a few years ago, but they did a poor job with the lounge chairs. When the material was new, it looked fabulous now it looks stained and dirty. We still like the hotel And will probably stay there again, but it went from five stars to four stars for us.

Pros: I like the cool vibe and decor of this hotel. It has a great pool and in ground spa. Quiet. Cons: needs upkeep and room quality doesn't feel congruent with the price you pay.
