Official GGC Personnel Accommondation
at Major Gee's Gutter Guest House
It wasn't too longer after the base got up and running that there was a minor revolt over the personnel quarters. Everyone was complaining that they didn't want to stay in dreary little concrete cubicles underground, especially after we made the base off-limits to Daniel-clones!
The argument would have gone on forever if Major Gee hadn't stepped right up and offered to do some major extensions to the Gutter Guest House so we could all live there instead!! Bravo, Major Gee - full marks for initiative!!
Major Gee's had an army of special Daniel-clones (and quite a few hulking Teal'C clones!) working day and night to renovate the Guest House to include more permanent accommodations for the personnel of the GGC. We're proud to be able to show you the results!!
General facilities on offer to GGC personnel at the Guest House
Since we decided to LIVE in the guest house, General Spadershanks and I had to make a tough decision to make the Guest House Bar off-limits to personnel while they were on duty.
We tried the alternative approach first - we told the staff they could certainly go and sit there, but they weren't allowed to drink. Only problem was, Major Gee had trained the Daniel-clone waiters too well - they were so persuasive that no-one could resist when they come around offering alcoholic libations. And they seemed not to understand the words "non-alcoholic".
After a few rather ugly incidents where tipsy personnel dialled up the wrong addresses on the Gutter Gate (you don't want to know what happened!!), we had to make other arrangements!
So we decided to put in some sitting rooms in the Guest House. Comfy areas where you could sit and talk, or have a cup of coffee (the Daniel-clone waiters here don't understand the word "alcoholic" - which makes for a nice balance!!). It's also a lot less imposing for guests to the GGC than having to take an elevator 30 stories underground and meet in a conference room in a concrete bunker!
We deliberately decided on the rather elegant decor - we'd all been so used to massive parties and rollicking knees-ups in the Guest House, we all sort of behaved that way all the time. Major Gee spent a fortune replacing the furniture every night! We decided that if we made it more elegant, things might tone down a bit. It worked!! Of course, the Guest House Bar and pool are still hootenanny-town, but we've segregated them so we don't get confused about how we are supposed to be behaving!!
Accommodations at the Guest House - GGC Personnel, for the use of
Major Gee went all out on the accommodations - there are a variety of suite decors available to choose from:
There's the French Provincial style
The very attractive Tuscan villa
The contemporary suite
The Edwardian style suite
The English Provincial style
The English country style, in chintz
and the very simple English country, sans chintz
Each accommodation suite comes with a king size bed, small (or large) attached sitting room and ensuite bath. There are no kitchen facilities in the suites - we decided we would prefer to remain with the standard mess arrangement for all meals - but there is a small refrigerator and coffee making facilities. Although why you would make your own coffee is beyond me - not when the Daniel-clones run such a fine barista servicing the sitting rooms !! Starbucks ain't got NOTHIN' on these guys!!
But we did run into another problem, once we moved the base en masse to the Guest House. Where could you go now for that special night with your Daniel-clone? Everyone had enjoyed the Guest House for the fact that it wasn't home - it was new and different and added a certain spice to the time they spent with their Daniel-clones.
Only now, we were using the same rooms for ordinary sleep and "play time" - and it was making us less than happy!
And what about that very special "first night" with a brand new Daniel-clone? The idea of spending that precious time in the room where you slept every night (and not always alone, if you catch my drift!) was appalling.
Who would have guessed that General Spadershanks was such a romantic at heart? He suggested to Major Gee that she establish a series of "honeymoon suites" that could be specially booked for such occasions. So she did!!

We hope you'll find the accommodation comfortable!
