about an 80 minute drive from the nice airport, i chose this place for the first night after arriving in france, mostly because of its proximity to the esteril, where i planned on a short hike to be followed by a jet-lagged collapse. we had a bit of trouble finding the hotel, but once there, were pleased with the accommodations. the hotel is well kept, and the room was fine, and quiet, albeit being small. breakfast was ok. i have no complaints, and would happily stay there again.
aside: the town of st raphael itself is a bit of a maze, and not easy to navigate around. the hotel is outside the town proper.
