Hotel is in a great location in Nice in front of the beach and the Promenade des Anglais. The hotel appears grand from the outside, but loses its luster once you enter the lobby. The front desk has chipped paint and lacks of maintenance. The rooms are outdated and furniture, carpet and walks need renovating. Staff is great and accommodating, the paid breakfast buffet is a good start to the day and the outside terrace has a great view of the beach and people watching. The location of the hotel cannot be beat, but the hotel needs major renovations.
