What do you mean "show hand Viet"?
With Google translate on a smart phone you can get through pretty much anything now. A lot of locals are even getting used to doing it now. They'll just grab your phone and start talking back through it.
Yeah I don't think it's realistic to expect non Vietnamese speakers to be able to speak in Vietnamese and be understood here. Maybe in tourist areas where they're used to hearing bad Vietnamese, but these short time hotels for locals, I don't think it will work.
