This hotel is a really cool experience IMO. I got there around 12 midnight and was too tired to see the whole hotel. But what i did see i loved. Clean rooms , thick curtain for privacy, accessible and welcoming bathroom staff were also very helpful. curtai

My experience at Meco was great! The staff were amazing, they were kind and helpful. They offer a mini grab and go pastry “breakfast” in morning and offer coffee as well. The hotel was walking distance to TD Garden and the North station. First time visiting boston and this was a great place to stay

They have a 150 dollar safety deposit fee, it wasn’t written on the ad when I booked on Expedia. And the reception tried to charge be over half of the price I paid when I paid in full on the app. Honestly disappointed about the service but the place looked clean

The window of the capsule was covered with a frosted plexi-glass. It felt claustrophobic.

Everything was perfect about the hotel except my bed in my pod was just pure metal springs. Grinding into my body the whole night. I met some wonderful people and they even have an all male dorm and all female dorm a gender neutral dorm. For me, it was nice being with a bunch of guys. So the only major short fall was bed, but it was a huge short fall.

Cost effective means for accommodation in such a big city. Meco focuses on the necessities: bed, shower, safety. It is for people on the go. Ideally, how many hours would you spend you your hotel room when you have the city to tour?

First time staying. I would say it’s good when you’re in the budget, traveling alone, with not a lot to carry around, and just need a place to stay for the night. It is a little bit uncomfortable sleeping in bed and you might want to bring your own pillows and blankets. The area is pretty clean and modern. The staff is friendly.

I really enjoyed my staying at Meco Hotels and it would be my number 1 choice if I’m ever back to Boston. The only thing that bothered me was that the room was smelly and there’s no window to open - The AC wasn't doing a great job as well!

It's hard to get a good night sleep here because it's too noisy and someone might turn on the light when you were sleeping.
