TL;DR

Hotel exchange rates are usually a bit worse (around 2550–2607 VND per unit), but the difference is small (~$3-4). Jewelry/gold shops near hotels typically offer better rates; ask at reception if there's no shop nearby.

What the community said

One traveler exchanged money right at the hotel front desk, got a decent rate, and mentioned a nearby jewelry shop with good rates too — convenient enough for package tourists who don't want to spend time searching around.

Another traveler exchanged currency right upon arrival at the hotel at a rate of 2607 VND and asked if that was a fair rate — the gap compared to street exchangers is usually minor.
