The three-pearl Servotel St. Vincent attracts sports fans and professional teams thanks to its location near Nice's football stadium. It's a 15-minute drive to the Promenade des Anglais and about a 20- to 25-minute drive to the Vielle Ville, or Old Town. The 88 rooms and suites in this family-run hotel have balconies, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and minibars, but lower-priced rooms have a dark decor and dated look. The hotel's best feature is its seasonal outdoor pool surrounded by palm trees. Guests can choose from two on-site restaurants. Breakfast comes with a fee, but Wi-Fi and parking are free. Travelers who prefer to stay in Old Town should consider the Hotel Beau Rivage, which has its own pebble beach.
Scene
Generic beige exterior resembles an apartment block
Set in a nondescript four-story building with exterior balconies running its length, Sevotel St. Vincent looks more like a residential housing block than a hotel. The reception area is a bit of a hodgepodge, with wood-paneled and orange walls lined with photographs. Decorative accents include an oriental carpet, a Louis XV-style sofa, and two contemporary easy chairs flanking a gilded mirror. An adjoining seating area of plush armchairs upholstered in purple or beige velour, a shaggy rug, and fireplace has the cozy feel of someone's living room. Because of the hotel's proximity to Nice's football stadium, the hotel is popular with sports fans attending matches, and the hotel has also hosted many sports teams.

Rooms
Rooms have balconies and some have minibars and coffee machines
All the guest rooms and suites at Servotel St. Vincent have large sliding doors that open onto balconies, which let in plenty of natural sunlight.

Several lamps provide some much-needed mood lighting. Bathrooms feature shower/tub combos, but the tiling has a dated look. Suites feature more updated decor, and are done up in gray tones with red accents. Suite bathrooms provide walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads, and a few extras like towel warmers and magnifying mirrors.Standard in-room amenities include air-conditioning, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, coffee- and tea-making facilities, minibars filled with a few soft drinks and free mineral water.
