Mercure Nice Promenade Des Anglais
"My room was clean and overlooked the beach. I did not try the breakfast. There was no bar to speak of, though a rooftop bar would be ideal at this location on the promenade."

Le Meridien Nice
"Room had a bed and 1 very small table with 2 chairs. No furniture with counter tops. Only place to place items was on the floor. Also the small refrigerator was locked. Even after requesting access, no one came to unlock. Great view, crappy room, high cost."
