Great value for money
We’ve stayed at this hotel about two years ago then we stayed in one of the roof top airstreamers this time we booked a larger room with king size bed. The room was smaller than advertised with a cramped bathroom. This said this is a great location near bokap and waterfront at a great price.

What a blast staying in a camper - so fun and whimsical staff were lovely - breakfast was great - wonderful way to end my trip / long street is its own beast so always think about travelling in. And out safely but long street is also very central and great for food and shopping

Restful stay!
Excellent stay! We initially booked an airstream, which turned out to be quite cramped and the hot water didn’t work. There was also a rooftop party going on, so we called and requested to move to a proper room. The front desk staff accommodated us immediately, which was wonderful. The room was beautiful and quiet, and we got an amazing night’s sleep. Great service!

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.
