Albert 1'er Hotel Nice, France
Perfect location for walking to explore city, room was very nice and staff very helpful with any request Only complaint was shampoo was a combo shampoo conditioner and didn’t feel like it rinsed well so left hair feeling heavy, I would stay again and just bring my own shampoo 😀

Le Meridien Nice
The location was good, we had the beach view but most of the fifth floor was under construction with terrible non stop noise. For a high end hotel with high prices it was extremely disappointing.
