Our stay at Grand Daddy was very nice. We loved the camper trailer, a fun and different kind of hotel room. Staff was very friendly and accomodating, everything clean and neat. We can strongly recommend a stay here.

Beautiful hotel and great breakfast
Beautiful historic building. Convenient location. Great breakfast - you get to pick one hot item from the restaurant menu plus you have unlimited access to a small buffet with yogurt, toast, pastries, fruit, and juices.

I sgayed in the sugar daddy suite and absolutely loved it! The hotel is beautiful and the toom was very spacious. When i checked in i was warmly greeted and the staff helped me bring my bags upstairs. They do have an elevator as well. The rooftop area was gorgeous and had great music playing in the evening. The restaurant had amzing food that was freshly made each day and a food amount of options. They also had a cake of the day with a cappucino special (best way to end the day!). It was located 2 bkocks from the hop on and off bus tour and one of their main office. I would highly recommend!

For its price, this was a nice stay. The breakfast was delicious, but it seems that there is room for improvement when it comes to upkeep and cleanliness.

The hotel is unique and staff were excellent. As a solo traveller staff went out of their way to ensure I had safe rides/taxis to my destinations. Their restaurant and rooftop bar was safe and fun with good food. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
