For me personally, I don't bother whether they wanna keep my passports or not. In fact, I would rather they keep it and safeguard for me.  |
Yes, is the Vietnam gahmen to say all hotels need to keep the passports...so that local district police can check whenever required...
I agreed with you that better to let Hotels keep the passport then us carry around..upon check out we collect our passport from hotel and that is when we need to use the passport to travel....for so many years nothing had happened to me...the hotel can refused any guest check in without original passport..
Once a friend from Aussie withdrew passport from the hotel to get into casino...but was made to sign a letter saying that guest took the passport and need to re-deposit passport at reception before he retires for the day...
