The airport is only about four miles from the city centre so there is no problem taking a bus. When you exit the terminal turn right and you will find a bus information booth. Other than taxis transportation is very affordable in Nice.

scatcat has it right for the buses. We were going to take the bus (98) which runs along the promenade des Anglais to the main bus station but just decided to take a cab. More money I know but easier and we were dropped at our hotel door.
Happy travels!!

We are arriving on September 30, 2010. Our hotel is Hotel Suisse - Hôtels Ocre et Azur. It is located on the promenade des Anglais. There are four us traveling together. Plus a second couple arriving later in the day.

> We will love walking through old town to the hotel.
You mean walk from the bust terminal to Hotel Suisse? For me it would be easier getting off the bus while it is still on the Promenade des angalais, by Hotel Meridian before turning inland to the left. You can see your hotel straight ahead and the walk is on a wide beach side road, easier than crossing the old town on small and winding alleys when you are schlepping luggage, even if the distance is slightly farther. and espeically if this is your first time in Nice. I often do this (with only my carry-on) when I arrive in Nice in the mornnig even if my hotel is closer to the bus terminal. Waliking on the coastal road is appealing and I often stop by Cours Saleya to have a coffee sitting right next to the market.
