Holiday Inn Express - Nice - Grand Arenas by IHG

Very convenient and clean airport hotel option.

Excellent location, close to the train station & Airport

Clean room, good breakfast, great price

Don’t be fooled. It took over 35 mins to check in, could I get a glass of water or a bottle - nope. A vending machine outside was suggested. Only bonus - comfy bed. Breakfast - no wonder it’s free (but in theory it’s not, because the room isn’t that cheap for what it is) . I’ve stayed in numerous holiday inns but the breakfast here was maybe the worst ever. Truly bad. There were two items that were warm - a scrambled egg which wasn’t scrambled but congealed. And a sausage which needed to be cooked - it was raw, an actually full pot of uncooked sausages. But the lack of water is odd to me. It’s put me off ever staying at a holiday inn again, I have stayed at numerous hotels near nice airport - this was the worst. I gave it a chance & it failed miserably.
