Mint House describes itself as like a hotel, but better and a way to live well on the road.
It may be fusion between a hotel + an air bnb. They offer immaculately clean and large suites/apartment condos for a comparable price to a nice hotel without the typical hotel services such as concierge and bellhop. Help is available by phone from people that are not located on site.
The apartment suites are modern, spacious and well furnished. We chose a 2 bedroom 1000 square foot apartment that included a full kitchen, 2 full baths with shower/tub, balcony and free parking albeit on the 8th floor of parking garage. Also included were access to a well equipped gym, pool on the 10th floor with city view and club room with pool tables and an automated coffee machine.
There is great attention to detail at Mint House. The kitchen is fully equipped with microwave, stove, fridge, pots, bowls, dishes, utensils, sponge, dishwashing liquid, wine glasses and wine opener. There is a washer dryer with detergent pods.
Each bedroom includes a comfy queen size bed with wireless phone charger (our samsung phones were not compatible), ear plugs an eye mask and even a noise maker (makes background noise such as rain or ocean sounds) to help you sleep. The bathrooms include hair dryer, shampoo (although ours only had conditioner), conditioner, body wash and bar soap and pool towels. They left complimentary 2 voss waters, 2 coco quemado snacks and 2 ferrero rocher chocolates. Unfortunately, the window shades in bedrooms are not black out blinds and do let some light in.
It's hard to find that sweet spot of luxury, value and spaciousness when looking for a place to stay during travel. Mint House does accomplish that.
The check in process is confusing. There was a check in email that we did not initially receive. We did not know this and after calling them we had this email resent to us. Guests are required to check in online before arriving. Part of the process, requires uploading a picture of both sides of driver's license. After checking in online, you must temporarily park in front of building and show front desk your check in confirmation completed online. The front desk provides a parking transponder and temporary fob to enter building. Once you enter parking garage, you can park in any space on 8th floor, use fob to enter building. Mint house check is on 8th floor which is basically a kiosk with 1 person that provides your fob key with instructions.
There is no visible Mint House sign on outside of building. The building is a residential apartment building named Caoba and Mint House is located on certain floors.
Overall, Mint House is a great value for those looking to stay in a spacious luxury apartment but without need for typical hotel services. read more
