If you are looking for places to stay in downtown Dallas, this is it.
Do you like high rise city views on the 48-50th floor? Mint house has the prettiest overlook from each room. I loved all of the natural light that came in through the tall glass windows during the daytime. I was able to wfh while getting some laundry done, all while on a quick stay in downtown Dallas.
I would absolutely stay here again. The best part, it's quiet! I didn't hear neighbors above or beside me, the hallways were quiet, you are so high above the streets, you aren't hearing cars speed by every 5 minutes, it was very relaxing.
There are also plenty of coffee shops or places to eat nearby. I loved that everything was a 5 - 15 min drive from this hotel. Plenty of things to see and do within walking distance as well.
This was a last minute book for us being as though we had issues with our Airbnb we had reserved. We knew we needed a washer and dryer, and had originally chosen an Airbnb for that purpose. Good to know/discover this is the perfect hybrid of hotel + Airbnb. It was pricier than our Airbnb we had booked, but we were thankful Mint House accepted our 9pm reservation on a Sunday night, checking in 30 mins later. We spoke to security on the first floor, who told us to take the elevator to meet the mint house concierge who would get us checked in, and direct us to the 50th floor where our unit was. Very easy check in.
There were some very minor things to notice during our stay with our specific room but nothing we felt the need to mention during our short two night stay. The morning after checking in, I was interested in making a pot of coffee. I noticed the previous coffee & filter from a different guest was still in the pot, threw it out, and chose to not make any coffee due to that not being cleaned out. No biggie. More the reason to check out a local coffee shop nearby which I did.
Our shower door handle was broken, and hanging on by a thread. Also didn't mention to the hotel. It was easy to push the glass door open and closed without having to use the handle.
Lastly, our record player was broken. I loved that they provided a couple of records to play, which I did try, but sadly the record player was just for looks in this specific unit on the 50th floor. Also didn't mention because we were only there to sleep, shower, and use the washer and dryer. Most all other time was spent exploring the city or working a couple of hours in the living room overlooking the pretty sky high city views.
I loved the washer pods that were provided by the hotel. I think we had a total of four for our two night stay, and I was able to get two to three loads in before checking out which was nice. We had a long trip in three different cities total, and needed to wash and dry some clothes before moving on to the next city. Both the washer and dryer were clean with no funky smells.
Mint house was a saving Grace to a very misleading airbnb choice we had previously selected. Very thankful for our experience overall with Mint. read more
