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.

Enjoyed my stay. All the other ladies were quiet and respectful. The pod was clean and the bed was comfortable. For Boston, price us a steal! I only needed it for sleeping because I was touring the town otherwise. Definitely recommend!

Wasn’t real sure about the pods. I liked the location, getting around was easy. A lot of places were within walking distance and the train system was great!! Bed was really uncomfortable !!!!

It was a good stay. If it was in any other location, I would say that it was a bit overpriced.

Great location- Matthaus was great. Very clean but definitely not the Hilton in terms of comfort (no tv, about 100 sq ft). Mattress was the equivalent of a pull out couch but a great experience for the price which was about 1/3 of the downtown rates for that night. If you are just looking for a great location for TD Garden for a couple of nights, this fits the bill. Overall a very good experience for a lot of reasons. Thank you, Matthaus!

Everyone is so respectful and quiet in the shared room — I got a single bed and it feels like a private space with a blind on. There are plenty of bathrooms that each comes with shower. Exceeded expectations.
