My fiancé and I booked this hotel because it was close to Jaxport because we were driving in from New York, a 15 1/2 hour drive. We saw that the hotel was newly renovated. We spoke to the staff we booked the hotel. I called ahead to let them know that we will be a couple hours late getting there because of our long drive from New York to Jacksonville Florida and they said that that was fine. We arrive there around 8:50 PM. The staff was great. He helped us with our bags because there is no elevator upon arriving into the room, we noticed the peculiar smell of peppermint or spearmint after being in the room for about an hour and a half we could not take the smell it was permeating into the hall. I actually had to go and sit on the steps in the stairwell of the hotel. We were told we could not be moved into another room because there was nothing else available that they were completely booked out. I sat in the hallway for over 20 minutes, trying to recoup from the smell of the peppermint that was in the room. We don’t know if it was a cleaning product or coming from the air-conditioning, We actually had to leave the hotel within two hours of our arrival and had to find another hotel to go to, just so we could go to sleep before boarding our cruise the next morning. The night manager, Henry tried to be accommodating to put us in a suite, but by that time the smell was so ingrained in our nasal cavities that I couldn’t tell if the smell was in the 2nd room, so we left @ 11:22 pm
