Mint House Houston – Medical Center — Hotel in Houston

We were visiting family in Houston and stayed five nights in the one bedroom apartment. There were four adults and it worked out great! It has a full kitchen including cookware, dishes and utensils. It also has a full size washer and dryer. Soap, shampoo, towels, dishwasher detergent, washing detergent and even a few small bags of coffee and single server creamers provided! You are given clear instructions on how to access the apartment which was great because we arrived after midnight thanks to issues with the airline and rental car. ||They have a very nice pool with several covered seating areas, gas grills and sinks to have an outdoor gathering. There is also a nice fully stocked workout facility and a game room with a pool table, poker table, and other games. ||The location in the medical center is great.

Kitchen appliances, cookware, and utensils appeared old and not well-maintained. The shower curtain liner had mold and soap scum, clearly needing replacement.

While the building does offer amenities like a pool, gym, lounge, and coworking space, the atmosphere feels cold and unwelcoming. Given the cost of staying here, there are definitely better accommodations in the area than Locale...
