Not sure where on TA you are seeing any mention of renovations (except the hotel needing renovations) in any review. Hotel web page definitely has NO mention of any renovations. If they are indeed renovating (which would be a good thing) and not telling guest during the booking process that would be a problem.

*Shocker* that the official Marriott websites and channels make no mention...

In the US you could likely argue the rate or get compensation if you stayed there and were impacted by the reno which is not mentioned anyway. In France, my feeling is that it will be "Ce la vie" and thanks for staying with Marriott and have a good "bonvoy!"

Thank you for sharing your experience at Le Méridien Nice with us on Trip Advisor.
We are sorry about the inconveniences you encountered.
Having 3 floors under renovation, our inventory is greatly reduced which is why you were given a room not in the exact same position as the one you originally checked in.

And here it is, from the horse's mouth
Indeed, we are actually doing some renovations that will finish by the beginning of May 2019.

Latest updates from GM's responses to TripAdvisor reviews this month:
"As for the rooms condition, we agree with you, they are tired. This is the reason why we have started major renovations. The 1st phase ending pretty soon will deliver 3 floors entirely renovated. The 2nd phase, which will end April 2020, will take care of the 3 remaining floors as well as all the public areas such as the hotel entrance, lobby, reception and 1st floor bar & restaurant. These renovations are sure to provide a highly functional space and stylish décor that meet the modern needs of our valued guests."
"We apologize for the wear and tear you are referring to; we would like to take this opportunity to inform you that the 1st phase of our major renovations is soon to be delivered at the end of April with 3 floors entirely renovated. The 2nd phase will start in November 2019 and will take care of the 3 remaining floors as well as all the public areas such as hotel entrance, lobby , reception, 1st floor bar & restaurant."
So in summation, the renovation will be split as such and cover the following areas:

- Phase 1 [completion end of April 2019]: three guest floors
- Phase 2 [November 2019 - April 2020]: three guest floors, hotel entrance, lobby, reception, restaurant, bar

Has anyone stayed there post 8/18/18? If so, could you post what the breakfast situation is since there's no exec lounge? I'll update the exec lounge sticky after someone posts. Thx!
Cheers.
Cheers.

I have this same question! You guys are making me think I should switch to the Beach Plaza as well. These reviews are horrendous.
