"I don't understand the negative reviews for this hotel. I thought the hotel was very clean, which is my number one concern. The decor of the hotel was fun. The hotel itself is well-maintained. The staff was very professional, friendly, and helpful.
Our room had an ocean view, which some on-line guests complained about not being able to see the beach, but you do have a view of the water, the tops of some red-tiled houses, and Nice in the distance. We actually spent a lot of time sitting on the balcony, watching the boats and sunset, for which you have a reasonable view.
The beach is about a 15-minute walk but is absolutely stunning. You can also catch the train at the bottom of the hill and quickly be in Monaco or Nice. There are also some really great Patisseries and a very good grocery store nearby, which has fresh-baked bread near the checkout.
Parking was not straightforward, but we figured it out. The hotel has no parking, despite what the Expedia web page says. Guests park at the public lot nearby, where you do have to pay during the day (free at night). It's hard to find a spot there during the day, having to wait a 5 or so minutes until someone leaves, but the lot clears out in the late afternoon and evening, with enough free spaces. Parking was a little inconvenient but not as bad as in a larger city..
Compared with other hotels in the area, this hotel is a good price. It would be hard to find another hotel this nice for the price along the Riviera."
