The people 'looking after' the guests will probably be the pilots who take
them up and down. Remember this will likely be more like an organised
camping trip, in that there will be limited runing water, no toilet, and
sleeping bags are the order of the day. The tour guide will also, in the
nicest possible way of course, have absolute power of god over you due to
simple health and safety. The finest space hilton will barely merit a half
star for the foreseeable future.

Which probably won't bother the guests, as there will be lots of stars
visible out the window.
