Reviews of Mint House Tampa Downtown by KasaReviews of Mint House Tampa Downtown by Kasa

Good

Excellent new clean studio apartment and awesome the location. Super comfortable bed and pillows. Clean. Nice soaps, shampoo and lotion. Clean spacious gym. Cute pool area. Easy walk to restaurants. The only thing we didn’t like (and could potentially have major issues with) is we didn’t get an access code to the actual apartment door…. rather, you have to have your phone with you at all times….to get to the Kasa website to hit “unlock” to get into the place. If you accidentally leave your phone in the apartment, the door locks automatically within 30 seconds so you cannot get back into your apartment, and then I don’t know what you would do. Despite that we would stay again- just keep your phone glued to you.

Fantastic location and very clean. Host was responsive and easy check in and out process.

The good side: Laundry supplies are there for you to use for free. Limitless. Washer and dryer are large so pretty convenient. Kitchen has silverware, plates, pans but no seasonings. Just salt and pepper. Coffee maker worked all right. Coffee supplies are limitless as well. No access to gym but just the pool which is pretty nice outdoor area with a grilling area you can use anytime. Now the horrible experience which made give a poor rating: First night was a nightmare because a smoke detector started beeping at 1am for 30 minutes. After that every other 4 hours until the end of my stay. I told management, maintenance, property customer service and couldn’t help to avoid the beeping. I told them it was the heater that triggered the smoke detector but they were saying it was people cooking inside their units but it was not. I asked for a refund and they only gave me $100 back out of almost $700 I spent. Also you have to pay $26 per day for parking across the street so whatever you save for not staying at a hotel you spend it for parking. I will never come back here. I am very disappointed.

Great place! Short stay or short stay it’s a fantastic place.

Hotels.com gave me the incorrect checkin time so I had to sit in the garage

Loved all

Enjoyed our stay. The apartment was great, and communicating with Kasa was simple. We were in town for the NCAA tournament. The location was within walking distance to Benchmark International Arena.

Great Experience - Full Kitchen - Extremely Clean - 5 stars for location - Great Pool - Walking distance to everything! Here’s our tips and personal experience to hopefully assist the next guests. The Mint House had large modern rooms, with a 5 star location, because it’s literally near everything. Only a 5 min walk to the arena, aquarium, Publix, river walk, a dozen restaurants, and the cruise lines too. Yes, I said Publix :) The room was a huge value to us and was actually one of the lowest price options for this weekend, but it certainly offers more to offer than standard hotels. This is more of a nicely stocked apartment/air-bnb experience, with a bunch of cool extras. For us, it was better than a hotel. We didn’t see one person under 21 the entire stay. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the entire property and it actually smells like a high-end vegas salon, very clean. These little touches made our experience even better. If you plan ahead, and have your registration complete in the kasa system, this will be a breeze and you’ll be so glad you stayed here. If you wait until you arrive and then start trying to figure out the check in procedures, codes, etc…you may become a little frustrated. We just parked our vehicle and walked everywhere. We took Ubers to longer destinations instead of driving ourselves because parking in Tampa is expensive regardless of where you go. Parking for events is always more $ than taking Uber’s in Tampa. 14 tips for staying at the Mint House from a normal couple that had no idea what to expect. 1. Open the emails they send and register with Kasa. Don’t forget to do this step. You will need a copy of your drivers license handy and a credit card. They hold $250 for incidentals like most hotel chains do, pretty standard. 2. In the email there is a code to gain access to the building and your room. It’s the same code, so you wont forget it. Make sure that code is ready available when you get to the front door. 3. Parking here is so simple and relatively cheap. You’re literally surrounded by “pay by the day”parking lots. The one we used was 1 block away on 910 E whiting and it was only $10 a day. “717 Parking” is the company and they have an app that made it very simple. 4. Print the parking pass in advance and put it on your dash to save time. 5. When you arrive, there is an area at the building on E. Whiting where you can quickly unload your coolers and large luggage before you park the vehicle. It looks like a mini parking garage. 6. Bring your food and drinks - It’s an apartment with a full kitchen, with all the cooking appliances & other necessities including a full-size washer/dryer. 7. Huge modern bathrooms stocked with quality soaps and lotions. A+ Has a cool queen size bed that comes down out of the ceiling by remote and it’s actually very comfortable. The pillows were also a better quality than many hotels. 8. Pool area was incredible and quiet. Pool, full outdoor kitchen and grill, dining tables, lots of seating, 100 inch Tv with couches. We went 3 days in a row and literally never saw anyone there. It felt exclusively private to us. 9. It Has a new modern fitness area for you to use. Everything is literally brand new. 10. Big screen Roku Television in the room. Roku has plenty to watch these days, but bring your codes for streaming if you watch specific stuff. 11. We had a balcony room and I highly recommend it if there are any available. Was a nice feature and made the space even that much bigger. 12. Additional towels, linen, toilet paper, sheets, etc are present on every floor in a nice glass cabinet. You just grab what you need. 13. It has a really nice business center on the first floor with a cool little coffee shop across the street. Both were very convenient for guests. 14. We rarely saw anyone while we were there which was nice. If you want the sound of typical hotel chaos, this isn’t it. This was a quiet and relaxing experience for us and we will stay here whenever we are in Tampa. Hope this review is helpful to future guests of the Mint House - G.C

Great location

Very accommodating and the location was perfect. Kasa was very responsive and the apartment was very clean. We will definitely book this Airbnb again if we’re ever in Tampa.

Great Clocation and clean

The rooms are nice and it’s right downtown. They don’t really have good parking at all, I loved that it had a washer and dryer.

Great place to stay!

Great spot close to water street and the city walk.

Near perfect experience. WiFi wasn’t working at check in but other than that really no complaints.

So clean and comfortable! Will be back!

It was a short stay but I enjoyed it. Great location as well

Excellent location and pricing. Would definitely stay here again. Codes and keypads are a little tricky to use, but overall great place!

Very neat, very clean, comfortable and cozy. I had to cut my stay short due to an unexpected change on my travel schedule with work but I will stay there again for sure. I truly enjoyed it

I was hesitant about this “virtual” property. I never stay at budget hotels, but all flights cancelled due to weather so no hotels. I will stay here every time. Room was clean, high tech, great lighting, fully equipped. Gym and pool access. Everything so seamless and perfect. I am wow’d. Did not expect to be writing a review like this on a 2 star (???). I might actually invest in this company. Perfectly executed concept.

This was a beautiful set up with an amazing fully equipped kitchen! We booked the studio because we stayed just the night and if we stay longer we will book the one bedroom. It’s in a great location with a coffee shop across the street and walkable to everything!

Very informative with information

This was min and the two kids first air b n b experience and it was good. My son instantly wanted to move in he said it was so nice. Everything was good we loved the pillows and the mattress lol we need the links to buy those my kids haven’t slept so good before. The only thing we struggled with was the reserved parking. The address the map takes you to is for the high school and the signs for mint house are small. But after reaching out for help, pictures were provided and we found the right parking. We will be booking with Kasa in the future.

Gym is great, pool & area very nice. Convenient to Sparkman Wharf & nice restaurants. Only wish whoever enjoys smoking pot would do it somewhere else, I realize it is hard to police that. Smelled it at various times in elevator & on balcony

Great clean place with great amenities!

Perfect stay Great new hotel, customer service is excellent, close to everything.

I had a great stay here and would definitely recommend it. The place was very clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. Check-in was smooth and easy, and the host was responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. The location was convenient and made it easy to get around and explore the area. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay, and I would happily book again in the future.

Wonderful stay!!! Location was great and walkable to an awesome part of the city - restaurants, concerts, Publix, etc. Love the vibe of the place. Room was pristine, cozy, relaxing and the floating bed was such a unique feature! (See photo.) Loved the gym. Pool area was nice. The Chat assistant was great and super responsive. The value was amazing. Was actually so surprised how wonderful and affordable it all was. We’d 100% stay again - at any location.

plenty of proactive communication

Could not access the gym

Likes: beautiful, quiet, well equipped, nearby restaurants, conveniently located to cruise port Dislikes: Door and elevator codes could be temperamental

The building itself was fine. The room was small but adequate. The movable bed made the room livable and it was clean and well appointed. It is the location that led to my lower review rating. The patio was barely usable as it is next to a major highway and the traffic noise was overwhelming. Also it is not a good location for walkers as there are no stores or restaurants. There is one coffee store across the street but it was closed for the weekend we were there. Everything else was a 20+ minute walk. Also we would have appreciated more local information provided in the room Such as directions to the nearest grocery store….restaurant…liquor store…phone number for pizza delivery…etc

I was initially concerned about no onsite support. However, the remote support was SUPER - actually, more supportive than onsite. Although I did not use the amenities, I did look at them and I was impressed. I would not hesitate to stay at a KASA site in the future. I highly recommend the Mint House Tampa Downtown by Kasa.

Was a really nice stay, would have helped to know the cost of parking beforehand but overall great stay would stay there again!

The room was very nice and included everything you would need for a week long stay. I would absolutely stay here again. The building and the stay requires multiple passwords which creates a very safe feeling but one of the passwords given did not work so assistance was required a couple times from maintenance and residents for the elevator use.

Likes: Easyness to Book, enter, exit, thought there is no personell

Didn't get a chance to use the pool or gym, but room was very comfortable and clean.

Pool nicht genutzt

Great experience! Would definitely stay again. All of the products were Public Goods (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, dish soap).

Great stay! Likes: Great location, great property. The amenities were great. They used Public Goods toiletries, which I really liked. Very clean unit. The washer and dryer were a plus. Dislikes: N/A I liked everything.

Loved this property so much I didn’t wanna leave, I will continue to stay at Kasa properties in the future! Likes: Everything was amazing, clean, easy to access but still safe, good facilities, GREAT location. Dislikes: Parking. I’ve stayed with Kasa before and this seems to be a consistent problem with their properties. They do not have parking facilities for visitors, so you have to find your own parking. Just keep in mind that parking will be an additional expense and can add up, other than that our stay was amazing!
