Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice
Property was beautiful but just too far from Nice downtown… staff was ok, area immediately walkable in back of the hotel seemed sketch. The promenade out front was better but again, 3-4 miles east of where you want to be.

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.
