I believe that the term "mints" is actually referring to the nice things that hotels do for you. In the past, nice hotels would leave an edible mint on your pillow every night. So, the review uses "mints" to mean the extras provided by the hotel.


In the article, the paragraph heading MINTS refers to two things:

  1. (Symbolic) All the amenities that the hotel provides (mentioned in the paragraph).
  2. (Literal) The actual "mints" that hotels often leave on your pillow when you first arrive.

In this case, the hotel has left an "organic fudge brownie," instead of the traditional piece of mint chocolate candy.

Definition: A mint chocolate or chocolate mint (sometimes called simply "mints" in the plural) is a type of candy that has a mint-flavored filling on the inside, with a chocolate candy shell on the outside.

Example Usage: "Ooh, you have a big bag of mints! Can have have one of those chocolate mints?

Note that the word mint in this usage refers not to the plant/herb, but to any type of candy – soft or hard – that has mint flavoring. A chocolate mint is just a variant of the standard mint candy.
