Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent
"Awesome hotel for families with young kids. Great location with playground nearby for morning/evening park time. Walking distance to downtown for retail shopping and local eateries. Eight minute drive to the boardwalk, close enough but still far enough from the crowds/congested traffic. Hotel staff and amenities were fantastic. Hot tub and pool was our highlight! Very comfortable temps for the entire family. Poolside service was great. Food was reasonably priced and delicious. Hotel staff was very accommodating to requests. Hotel provided free bottled water the entire duration of our stay and even offer s’mores kit for the kids to enjoy in the evening. Overall, one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever experience. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend to all looking for a hotel with amazing hospitality and care."

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

8/10 Good
"The location was very conveniently located, however the property was a bit dirty feeling. The hallways smelled musty/ mildewed and were a bit dark. My room smelled clean, but the carpet was covered with what looked like dog hair. The soap and shampoo smelled great and were convenient in the kind of bottles that are refillable, which I appreciate. Linens and pillows were very good. Another area that was a bit disappointing was the pool. There was only one towel which my friend and I had to share. There was garbage (which says more about the other guests than the hotel tbh) Overall, I’d probably stay again, however it was not as nice as I had expected given the price."
