Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel is appreciated for its central location, placing guests within easy reach of the city center and a comfortable walk to the Waterfront during the day, as well as Breë Street restaurants. A highlight for many is the unique rooftop experience with Airstream trailers and a sky bar boasting great views. Rooms are generally spacious and clean, with quiet and efficient A/C, though some guests have noted that the hotel appears a bit worn. A delicious breakfast is included, and valet parking is available in the building for a daily fee.

few local channels peeling shower
the breakfast selection was acceptable with a variety of options.
The tv had only a few local channels, pretty limiting. also, there weren't enough plugs next to the beds. Charging my devices was a real hassle. the peeling shower head looked pretty cheap too.
