Hotel Canada
Two star. quaint would be too nice to describe this place. is not the best. but it is in the middle of nice, good friendly staff too. circa 55/65 euro a night for single/double.
Hotel Suisse
Located very close to the sea and the old quarter. Free WiFi in the lobby. The Superior and Privilege rooms have a small balcony with a table and two chairs where you can sit and view the surf along the entire Nice waterfront. The rooms are small but nice and the service is excellent. Even though it has only three stars, it has amazing views and service.
Being a heavily touristed city, it's easy to find a number of small hotels which are perfectly acceptable, and usually at a decent rate.
Citadines Nice Buffa
Well appointed and plenty of room but, be prepared for a bit of a walk to most attractions and the city centre. several supermarkets close by and several bus routes pass right outside if you can decipher the timetables!.
