Check-in:
Our
car
pulled
up
to
the
hotel
and
a
group
of
attendants
swarmed
to
collect
our
bags
and
usher
us
in.
We
received
a
warm
welcome
from
the
staff
and
were
escorted
to
our
room
where
our
bags
arrived
moments
later.
A
fresh
bowl
of
fruit,
water,
and
tea
were
provided
in
our
room.
Room:
We
stayed
in
two
different
rooms
during
our
trip
(with
a
visit
to
Halong
Bay
in
between).
One
room
was
slightly
larger
than
the
other,
but
both
were
furnished
with
comfortable
beds,
nice
decorations,
a
minibar
of
drinks
and
snacks,
and
fresh
flowers.
Location:
Just
steps
outside
of
the
hotel
was
Hanoi's
Old
Quarter.
We
were
never
more
than
a
15
minute
walk
from
local
attractions...if
we
didn't
get
lost
in
the
winding
streets!
Food:
I
typically
think
of
hotel
food
as
a
backup
plan
rather
than
the
main
event,
but
Red
Bean
at
La
Siesta
had
some
of
the
most
delicious
food
we
ate
in
Hanoi.
We
ate
breakfast
here
every
morning
and
enjoyed
an
amazing
spread
of
fresh
fruit,
salads,
baked
goods,
and
local
treats.
Staff:
La
Siesta
is
great
as
a
hotel
offering,
but
t
is
the
staff
that
really
sets
it
apart.
From
the
moment
we
walked
in,
the
staff
knew
our
names
and
the
details
of
our
stay.
They
helped
arrange
event
tickets
and
spa
bookings,
and
gave
lots
of
local
recommendations.
When
one
staff
member
(thank
you
Joanna!)
learned
we
were
next
headed
to
Hoi
An,
she
wrote
out
a
long
list
of
recommendations
from
her
time
spent
there
and
had
it
delivered
to
us
before
we
left.
And
when
we
had
to
check
out
quite
early
to
make
out
departing
flight,
Joanna
made
sure
we
had
boxed
breakfasts
prepared
to
take
along
to
the
airport.
Simply
out,
the
staff
alone
deserves
five
stars!
