It's my second time living at the property. Overall, the property is convenient for people who travel alone or don't mind sharing space with others. One complaint is that I found a cockroach on my bed in the morning when I woke up. I booked one night.

Nice and simple accommodation. Think of it like a hostel+. Kinda fancier hostel. Which was perfect for me. The only down side is the price. If you’re getting hostel style accommodation, you should be charged hostel prices? Not here. But it was clean, quiet, had an shower and somewhere to sleep. Ticked all the boxes for me.

Difficult to share. Once I realized there was a $150 deposit I did not have I couldn't stay there. Fortunately, I had a friend in Boston who rescue. Nothing against your hotel except I wasn't aware of the recoupable deposit. I was also informeds that The Meco hotel doesn't refund directly. I attempted to file a claim with you guys but to no available . I lost all my deposits and was made short on resource for my trip. That one detail cost me. Fortunately, I have family everywhere.

OK for Bare Necessities

I came in with low expectations. The bed was stiff and the soap handles should probably be replaced as they’re peeling with mineral deposits. The staff were cordial. Otherwise, it was an okay, no frills stay and was close to North Station which makes it a prime and affordable option.

Never stayed in a room without windows, in bunk beds so I thought I’d give it a try. Clean room, spacious bathroom, not all switches working so a bit of a hassle, little room to store stuff but some creative solutions helped. Ok for a night. Nice welcome area in the lobby to sit around and coffee/tee also a good idea.
