“Hotel Paradox captures a stylish mid-century California vibe, evident from its art-filled lobby to the comfortable, modern rooms. The true draw here is the vibrant pool area, which, along with the attentive poolside service and good food, makes it easy to stay put and enjoy the atmosphere. While parking has a fee, the proximity to downtown Santa Cruz and its attractions remains a solid advantage.”
