One hotel took the passport even from a guest with a local residence registration in Nha Trang. The guest didn't mind, but it's worth knowing this can happen regardless of your status.

Some hotels in Nha Trang accept your passport as a substitute for a cash deposit. One traveler left their passport at the front desk the day before departure when they ran out of money, planning to retrieve it before checkout.
