Room service is offered 24 hours a day, but the staff is a mixed bag, often ignoring special requests.
Star Service
"Nautical and historical decor including large maps, an antique model ship and a large globe adds a sense of importance to the location.

"Seven retrocool American Airstream trailers, decorated by local artists, sit on the roof of the Grand Daddy Hotel, linked by wooden walkways greened by indigenous plants."
