Positives|+ hotel is in great location, with easy walking access to everything – old town, port/marina, town beach, fortified walls, restaurants, shopping, etc. Gym Basic Fit is literally 2 blocks straight over.|+ clean|+ very comfortable & firm bed mattress; excellent quality sheets & towels & bathrobes|+ luggage racks (you have to ask for them but they have them). Willing to remove coffee service from room – it takes up a lot of needed counter top space|+ staff is very polite, professional, and helpful. Maxim in particular was amazingly helpful. The shower floor is incredibly slippery (“glissante”), especially after using the shower gel. When we asked for a shower mat (“tapis de douche”), he understood and they delivered two to the room which helped immensely as we worried about slipping and falling. This made a big difference and we appreciate him so much for his help.|+ the hangers are “real” in that you can take them down, wash them, move them around, and use them much more functionally.|+ desk with chair|+ the living area seating furniture has been improved; last year the couch and chair were old & stained|+ small mini frig with only 1 bottle of their water in it so can use for own beverages & food|+ TV has CNBC|+ breakfast is in 2nd floor mezzanine. Staff are very polite and professional, and have been there for several years. The breakfast buffet is small but appropriate for the French Riviera – fresh romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, yogurt, fruit (best when it is sliced alone on its own, vs. cut up and mixed in a bowl), breads, croissants, sliced meats & cheese, and omelettes to order. They do not replenish much after 8:30 am and it closes at 10:30 pm. The baguettes and bread tend to be somewhat stale, vs. the baguettes of past years when they made them fresh every half hour.||Negatives|- Shower floor is incredibly slippery – it is a glossy white smooth surface and is very very slippery, causing worries about falling. We asked at the reception desk for a shower mat (“tapis de douche”), the person at the desk, Maxim, understood and they delivered two to the room which helped immensely as we worried about slipping and falling. We greatly appreciate his help and that helped us enjoy the stay so much more than we would have otherwise.|- Too much clutter and too many knickknacks. The rooms (we have stayed in several different rooms over time)|- No electrical outlets by the bed or at the nightstands, so you cannot plug in / charge your phone or any other device within reach overnight.
