I arrived at check in time 4pm and our room wasn’t ready until 5:17 to be exact, we we given a $50 voucher for food and drinks which was nice but we were exhausted and just wanted to get to our room which we paid around $600 a night for. Outside of the pool area the grounds needed more attention as there was garbage left by disrespectful guests in the elevators which we threw away and on benches/tables etc that was literally there for our 2 day stay, it was if there was no attention to the facility outside the lobby, pool and restaurant area. As for hospitality, the phone in our room didn’t work so I went down to the lobby at 8:30 to request some fresh towels, we waited an hour and a half until I had to get up again and pretty much go get them myself by hunting down a housekeeper, the last thing is we purposely chose a room facing the pool (which was extra) room 518 only to have a giant redwood tree (beautiful) obstructing our view, I feel like we got charged for something we didn’t receive. The food was good and the pool area was very nice but overall for the little over $1300 we paid for 2 nights we feel like we didn’t get the service or quality that should have came with that price, the service and the grounds need more attention and there be no reason a persons room should not be ready upon check in when check out is 4 hours prior to the next guests checking in. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Christine

We loved our stay - the hotel pool and hot tubs were our favorite. The weekend pool party with a DJ was a fun scene. The lobby decor and games had a unique vibe. The restaurant food was good and we enjoyed eating at the pool. Our room was cute and clean, but a little tight for a family of four. Overall we enjoyed our stay and found great, affordable food options very close to the hotel.

Loved Everything About it!

First time staying at Hotel Paradox and was not disappointed. Everything was great. Checking-in was painless, the rooms were clean and comfortable for a family of four, and the pool was very welcoming. Highly recommend and would 100% stay again. Can not say enough good things about it.
