My husband and I are booked for 3 nights and are wanting to know the following:
Has anyone stayed in a standard room? It was so inexpensive compared to the other rooms, I am afraid we will be staying in a closet!
Is there a car up to the hotel or do you have to walk? We will have a car. Also, my husband has some health issues and I am concerned that getting in and out will be difficult.
Is the Grill restaurant resonable in price? Are there other options for dining in Eze, both for breakfast and dinner?
How difficult will it be for us to get to Vence, Nice and perhaps Monaco during the day for sightseeing?
Any help is greatly appreciated. This is the last stop on our trip and maybe the last time in France for awhile. I would like this to be the perfect ending for the vacation.

We stayed at Chevre d%26#39;Or for 3 nights in September. We booked their Shortbreak à la Carte package and added 1 night. We also upgraded from a superior room (ocean view) that came with the package to a deluxe room (ocean view with balcony-which I really wanted). I have read on TA that people have had standard rooms and could see the ocean off to the side. Our room included bedroom, sitting room and bathroom and all faced directly to the sea.
There are some other restaurants in Eze but I was advised by someone who%26#39;d stayed at the hotel to take full advantage of all it had to offer. We ate every meal there. (Our package included 2 buffet breakfasts, 1 lunch and 1 dinner in their gourmet restaurant.) The Grill is more reasonably priced than their gourmet restaurant. We were also planning on spending one day driving around but once we checked in those plans immediately changed. We never left. That%26#39;s how incredible the hotel and the views are.
You have to valet park your car down below and walk up to the hotel. The entire hotel is built into the side of the mountain so everything is on different levels and there are a lot of stairs.
A stay at this hotel would be the perfect ending for any vacation. It was a once in a lifetime splurge for my 50th birthday. Chevre d%26#39;Or is VERY expensive but if you can throw caution to the wind, go for the whole experience. It will be incredible. After all: You only live once and you can%26#39;t take it with you. You can check out the review I wrote on TA after my return.

BTW, my TA picture was taken on our balcony at Chevre d%26#39;Or while we were enjoying the welcome refreshments that they brought to our room.

I%26#39;m afraid I can%26#39;t comment on the rooms at the Chevre d%26#39;Or as I%26#39;ve only eaten there. There are other restaurants in Eze, I can recommend the Troubador.
Getting around with a car may be frustrating, as during the summer and weekends the traffic on the roads increases. The picturesque roads between towns and along the coast are all pretty much single lane traffic each way, so traffic jams build up easily.
If you decide not to drive, then getting about by bus and train is an option, although being in Eze village means that you%26#39;ll have to plan a little more. There%26#39;s a direct bus from Eze to Monaco (number 112) that runs about every 1 hour 30 mins. This same bus runs to Nice, or alternatively there%26#39;s a local Nice bus that just runs between Eze and Nice (number 82). Both timetables are here:

There%26#39;s a bus that will take you down the hill from the village to the coast (number 83) and the railway station, from where you can get the train to Italy in one direction, or Marseille in the other.
Getting to Vence without the car will mean a bus into Nice followed by a bus to Vence.
Of course you could also get a taxi, but that%26#39;ll be quite expensive.
