Doubt I’ll go back
Pros:

It’s quirkiness

Cons:

Very old and dated, more attention needs to be paid by housekeeping. There was some horrid looking brown stuff on the toilet walls, they told me it was rust, I wasn’t convinced.

We had a fantastic stay at the Grand Daddy Hotel—such a unique and memorable experience, and we loved every moment of it
Pros:

We had such a wonderful stay at the Grand Daddy Hotel. It truly offers something different from the usual hotel experience, which made our visit feel special and memorable. The atmosphere is unique and full of character, and we really appreciated the creative touches throughout the property.

The rooftop Airstream trailers were a highlight and added a fun, quirky element that you don’t often find elsewhere. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the Grand Daddy Hotel to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience. We would happily visit again!

Cons:

There was absolutely nothing we could complain about—not even the noise, as the earplugs provided were a great touch and really made a difference.
