How much does it cost to reserve a meeting room as a non-member?+
Rates are $39/hour at Beverly and Cohasset, and $49/hour at Braintree, Canton, and Hingham. You pay by the hour, so a one-hour client meeting costs $39–$49, no day-rate minimum, no setup fee.
What do members pay for meeting rooms?+
Depends on the membership. Private Office members get meeting rooms free and unlimited at their home location. Coworking part-time members get 6 hours/month included; coworking full-time members get 10 hours/month included. Virtual Office members don't get included hours but get 30% off the published hourly rate. Non-members pay the full published hourly rate ($39 at Beverly and Cohasset, $49 at Braintree, Canton, Hingham).
What happens if coworking members go over their included hours?+
Overage pricing is available, talk to the on-site team or ask Lillian for the current overage rate. The member-included hours reset every month.
Which location has the most rooms?+
Cohasset has three conference rooms, the largest meeting-room inventory on the South Shore. Hingham has one room that seats six comfortably. The other locations have a conference-room footprint sized to the member base.
Can I book for a client who's visiting from out of town?+
Yes, and members do this frequently. Book the room, give your guest the address, and we'll have the room ready when they arrive. Covered parking is available at Beverly, Canton, and (same parking lot as the commuter rail) Cohasset, so out-of-town guests never have to worry about finding a spot.
Are the rooms video-conference ready?+
Yes. Every meeting room has a large display, business-grade internet, and is set up for Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. Members regularly run hybrid meetings with some participants in-person and others dialing in.
How far in advance should I book?+
For a standard one-hour slot on a weekday, a day or two is usually fine. For longer sessions, recurring weekly meetings, or the busy mid-morning/mid-afternoon windows, more notice is better. Ask Lillian the availability any time, 24/7.
Can I host a non-business event, a class, a workshop, a panel?+
Usually yes. Reach out with the date, length, expected headcount, and what you're planning, we'll confirm whether the room fits and whether there are any setup considerations. Off-hours and weekend sessions are often easier to accommodate.
Is there a minimum booking length?+
The practical minimum is one hour, that's how our hourly rate works. Booking thirty minutes isn't offered because the overhead of entry/setup/exit makes it impractical. For anything over a half-day, ask about block rates.
