We booked the Palm Beach Hotel during the Tet Holiday, but when we arrived to the Hotel we were informed otherwise. They tried to make us believe that we booked "Palm Beach 2" which is allegedly a hotel several blocks away. When I showed my natural suspicion, the Hotel staff gave me a rude look and advised that this "Palm Beach 2" was newer and cleaner and they would pay for a taxi there.
Considering almost everything was booked solid due to Tet, we decided to hop in the taxi and drive over. The "Palm Beach 2" is in an unmarked location behind the Lanterns Restaurant. It's on a dirt, unpaved road next to a lot of construction.
When we arrived, the Hotel Staff, and possibly the owner, asked for our passports. We simply stated that we'd like to see the room first - as we had already been blatantly lied to. He then made a snarky remark in Vietnamese and the staff showing us the room just snickered at us. The room was very clean and certainly new. However, we paid extra for a Balcony with View, and 1 Queen Bed. This room, as it was in a different hotel, had 2 twin beds and no balcony.
Overall, the hotel was clean. But, the finishing touches have not yet been taken care of. There was no hot water at all during our stay and the breakfast was nasty. It seemed to be prepared ad hoc and there were dead flies in the sliced cucumbers. There's also a bathroom light that cannot be shut off because the electrical was likely done haphazardly.
Would not recommend.
