Melia Vinpearl Hue
Hotel was clean, staff was helpful (except don’t try to get a coffee or pastry at the Starbucks in the lobby, no matter if it’s pouring outside or you’re in a rush- it’s more complicated than you think it will be). Not great that you have to pay extra to use the sauna. Didn’t try the breakfast.
