10/10 Excellent
"This is a lovely hotel and the best Best Western I’ve EVER stayed in. If you have the budget, I would definitely recommend getting a sea view room though. My “mountain view” was at ground level and basically overlooked the street. That said, it was IMMACULATELY clean and new and very comfortable despite being quite small. Good breakfast. The location is a bit of a schlepp to old town Menton and the old port. It’s actually more Roquebrune-cap-martin than Menton TBH. A very good hotel though!"

"The distance to the room! There was nobody to help with the luggages! I asked for for a golf cart but they said that was not possible. My room 407 did not have a refrigerator. The room smells musty! There was no air at the bedroom. The was air but the exit of the air was in another room so it was hot in the room."
