Quick stop in Nice

Not ideal, but we will be arriving in Nice mid afternoon, staying overnight and taking the OuiGo to Paris at noon the next day (we'll be back at a later time to explore Nice, so this is just a quick pass-through). So the challenge is finding a convenient hotel (doesn't have to be fancy, just quiet), an interesting place to walk around (maybe with local shopping?) and a great restaurant to finish our day and our trip. Suggestions?

I don't know your date, but I am not seeing any OuiGo trains at noon, only 2:58 pm. The noon train is an inOui TGV. You night try one of the hotels in the central shopping district with an easy tram ride to the station. Can't help with "great" restaurants, maybe someone else can.

Hi lynbarrett22.
Last time we were in Nice, we stayed at Hotel Aston La Scala, very nice, with nice view. Very close to Old Town, so you can spend your afternoon wandering and enjoying the seaside promenade and vicinity.
We have also stayed at Mercure Nice, which was quite nice, too.
I know you are not looking for anything fancy, but if a splurge is in your future, check out La Perouse. We stayed there many years ago, when it was around 250E night, now it over 600.
Enjoy!
