I got a taxi to the hotel from the airport, and it set me back 38 Euros for a trip that could have lasted, maximum 8 minutes. This is not the hotel fault, but it would help if a transfer was organised. It's only a few meters away from the Legendary Negresco, on the side of the Boulevard des Anglais, within a short walk to the main centre part of the city. I guess you can use the bus from the airport too, route 98, if you know where to get off.
Checking in was ok. No problem at all. It is a Four Points by Sheraton. The hotel looks ok, and the interior seems to have been renovated lately.
Internet was free of charge but needed a password that I could barely read from the front desk guy's handwriting.
I got room 704, on the top floor. It was supposed to be a room with beach view... but it was only sideways.
The room had been renovated lately. A bit plasticky, specially for the chair, the bedside tables and lamps. It tried to be stylish... but I suppose it is not mine. The closet didn't have doors. Instead, it had curtains. There was a clear excess of curtains in the room.
Room was quiet, and the bed comfortable, which at the end of the day, it is what you need.
The bathroom had a bath, and plenty of toiletries.
Breakfast was on the ground floor, and had some fruit, cold meats, scrambled eggs, hot meats, and pastry. Coffee was "industrial" American coffee... and basically, the choice was so, so.
Checking out was also good.
The hotel is good, a bit plasticky all around, but for Nice, it is good value for money.
