There are many one and two star hotels listed in Cannes, Menton and Nice but I don't see too many recommendations. Can anyone help, obviously cleanliness and comfort are important but when one is out all day, I'd rather spend the extra on nice restaurants or sightseeing. I have emailed a few but they often do not bother to reply. Has anyone else found this, it has been the worst area in Europe to get a response.

Hi Kathy. I stayed in Beaulieu last year with a friend. It was at the Residence Eiffel, but it must be rented for a week at a time.<BR>I know they have a website, unfortunately it was all in French the last time I checked. This may not be a problem for you, though.<BR>Look it over and if you have any questions, you are welcome to email me.

Hi Kathy,<BR>i can recommend two in Nice. They're right next door to each other, right on Promenade des Anglais. Clean, staffed with helpful, friendly folks who're fluent in English, and I think you'll find each of them a very good value.<BR><BR>The first one is the Hotel Flots d'Azur at 101 Promenade des Anglais. Their web site is www.flotsdazur.com, so you can check it out.<BR><BR>For the Hotel Eden, at 99 bis, Promenade des Anglais, the telephone# is 04.9386.53.70 and the fax is 04.93.97.67.97<BR><BR>My personal preference (an IMO, the better value) is the Flots d'Azur.<BR><BR>Bon Voyage,<BR>BC

A very cheap, clean Hotel in Menton is Claridges - walking distance from the station, market etc. It is very basic, but clean, and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly! Staff at reception speaks quite well English.<BR><BR>O yes, and another plus - 2 blocks from EuropeCar!

I stayed in hotel Paris-Rome, which I believe was a 3-star, but very reasonable. If memory serves I only paid 50 or so Euros per night for a single.
