Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice
"Very nice lobby, but rooms and bathrooms were not given the same attention. Bathroom had lots of broken tiles and could use a deep cleaning. No cold fridge in the room but told it was a “minibar” which turned out to useless and had mildew."

Le Meridien Nice
"The location was really good. Close to the beach & restaurant & bars & shops as it was central to most places. We had an executive room with terrace city view. It was smaller than expected for the price we paid. We had drinks at the bar and the service was good. The breakfast was a big keg down. ..."
