Most of the Brits are at the CREPS Centre (see page 1 of this thread) try the following as I think that is full:
MODERN HOTEL
1, Rue Fourmillere
(Angle Av. De la Republique)
Zone Pietonne
06600 Antibes
PH ; ++ 33 (0)4 92 905 905
FX ; ++ 33 (0)4 92 905 906
The Modern is right behind the Bus Station on a small walking street. It is quite small, so book rooms here, early.
Le RELAIS du POSTILLON
8, rue Championnet

Postillon is a Hotel/Restaurant and is a bit bigger that the Modern. The Food is good and Bar is usually open late. It can be a bit loud in the mornings with vans making deliveries to the near-by pubs and restaurants.
BRASSERIE “Tout Va Bien”
NOUVEL HOTEL
1 Ave du 24 Aout
06600 Antibes
PH ; ++ 33 (0)4 93 34 44 07
FX ; ++ 33 (0)4 93 34 44 08
This is a local Hotel above a local Bar/Pub. Not many tourist stay here. It is cheaper than the other spots I mentioned and not as nice, but it is in the same general, convenient area. There had been some complaints a few years ago about loud people up late at ground floor pub.
Note; Apparently all of these hotels are just a few minutes walk from the Bus Station and a short walk from the Train Station.
I think there is info about entry fees and prize money on the previous page.
Julie and I arrive Thursday morning and pick up Paul Price at Nice Airport around 10am. I have my Snowboard Camp minibus, do you guys want a lift from Nice to Antibes?
Let me know,
See ya hope this helps,
