Le Bordeaux Sapa Hotel

一家規模不大的酒店，不過位置出行和覓食很方便，周邊附近很多飯店，按摩店（因為沙壩遊玩需要爬山），距離廣場和纜車售票出發大廳衹有100多米。 酒店設施不夠新，衣櫥的門好多關不好了，不過短期遊玩住，不挑剔還是可以的

Les noodles étaient trop cuites et les légumes mal lavés. J’ai retrouvé ce qui semblent être des petites bêtes dans mon plat. Mon conjoint était toutefois ravi de son riz frit au bœuf. Il est inscrit sur leur porte qu’ils prennent la carte bancaire, en fait non.

Hotels are a tough business, so it's sad I'm writing a 2-star review. Let's first consider the business. Most businesses do one thing, or two at most, and that's their focus. Hotels have to run many facets well: cleaning, laundry, infrastructure maintenance, repairs to all the rooms and bathrooms and TV's and air-conditioning, renovations, running a kitchen making food 16 hours a day. Then there's managing personnel, scheduling and coordinating tradesmen, wholesale food supplies. And then, marketing and advertising, bookings, and all the admin of all those facets. Like I said, a hard industry to work in, let alone turn a profit. Le Bordeaux is struggling. My room had bugs, mould, unswept floors, broken lights, frayed and threadbare towels, dirt and dust. AirCon didn't cool the room. WiFi was poor. The hotel is at a busy intersection, and although they're not responsible for the horns honking from 6am to 11pm, the windows are not sound insulated. The restaurant is reasonably priced and offers a wide ranging menu of decent quality food, but can be slow. For $60 AUD a night, I've had much better. I hope they turn things around, and they could if they improved housekeeping, audited their WiFi, TVs and AirCon machines to make them work, and sped up the kitchen.
