What guests think

At Renaissance Framingham Hotel & Conference Center, reviews highlight ongoing renovations with disruptions, mixed room quality ranging from freshly updated and comfortable to dated with cramped bathrooms or noise, and service that varies between very warm and occasionally unhelpful.

Common issues include the pool being closed, intermittent elevator outages, event or construction noise, and sporadic water or HVAC problems. Cleanliness feedback is mixed—many found rooms clean, while others noted stains, pet hair, or musty odors—yet the location is convenient to highways and shopping, though access and parking can be tricky during events or at night. Expect a convenient stay with variable quality depending on renovation phase and room assignment.

We had gone back here to celebrate our 40th anniversary. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations , so many tings were not quite as they should be. The check in desk was a tiny little desk when you walk in. To get to the elevators you had to go through the bar and the restaurant ( both of which were dead). The pool was closed. The hallways were extremely hot and very stuffy as if they weren't air conditioned. If you wanted ice you had to go back down to the first floor.The room was fine but it was all the little things that took away from it.

I tried to share my concerns with the customer care and was clearly not taken seriously. They wanted to give me 10k points for the experience. The elevators were broken, my suite did not have any bedding for the pull out bed, the parking lot was flooded and the convention center clearly smelled of mold/mildew. There were obvious water leaks. The mold or mildew was so bad that I needed medication for the two nights we were there just to take the edge off my sinuses so I was able to breath easier. The bedding didn’t show up until almost 1am. Out of the four elevators, two worked properly but were on the other side of the hotel. I emailed a complaint to customer care and what I received was an “I’m sorry” and “as a 1 time gesture, I asked that you would be credited 10k points to use at your next stay”. Well, I paid $560, and why would I ever want to book again with them? So the points are useless. I feel as though some reimbursement is in order at this point.

The hotel was under renovations at the time of stay but noise was not a factor. The work areas were contained. The parking was not limited. My rating is based on Very small bathroom and restaurant closed as well during our stay. I was only notified of construction after I locked in my booking.

The staff was amazing, and the food in the restaurant was really good; however, during our stay, one elevator was out of order while a dance competition was taking place, causing a slight inconvenience and the hallways were a little cold. I should mention that the hotel is connected to another hotel that also has an elevator that could be used. Overall the hotel is very spacious and well decorated with tons of parking. I'd definitely stay here again.

The place is under construction, so updates are coming during our visit everything in our room was rough. The carpets had huge stains, the bathtub was rusted. We had booked a room for 3 kids and 2 adults and the listing said sleeps 5 but there were just 2 full-sized beds. No crib, no pull-out, no cot. I spoke to reception and the women barely paid attention to my question. There was no one to wait on but me as it was 12:30 am, but she appeared to not care about the missing bed. I only interacted with one other employee who saw me returning a luggage cart and he was super friendly. Maybe it was a bad day for the women at reception.

This property is ready for a renovation. The rooms are loud. Chipped paint, dirty sink, old carpet and the list goes on and on. When we arrived the front desk stated that they no longer had a king room, which I paid for, but only had one with two double beds. We’re big peeps, that will not work. Out of nowhere she got one, less than 10 seconds into the convo. Why do that to people? It’s not nice.

I asked for free upgrade since we had to move to a 2nd room after enduring 20 minutes of noise. Emily said "I sent you staff to help, no upgrade." No empathy either!

My fiance and I ended a lovely day with a respite stay at the Sheraton. My fiance had knee surgery and looked forward to a hot bath. Instead he got ice cold water in the bath and a nasty surprise when the plug cover separated and revealed significant corrosion. I took pictures and reported the issue to the front desk at check out. They said take the problem to Expedia!

This hotel is not very enjoyable. The front desk people were consistently not even trying to be friendly, being transactional at best and rude at worst. No smile or small talk. The construction makes it even worse. Rooms are small and dated. The only thing I enjoyed was being able to open the window a bit to get some fresh air. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Hi, the front desk gentleman that checked us in was very polite and pleasant, so was the waitress at the restaurant, all very kind. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. However, the parking situation was not good, we had to park very far and I had 2 young kids. We were leaving early in the morning on the following day, around 5 am, it was still dark and I felt very unsafe having to walk all the way around the property in the dark with the kids to get to our car. I was told there was a dance competition that would end late at night and then the parking lot would empty, but I was not going to leave at midnight to move the car closer. Priority parking should be given to the people staying in the hotel instead of the people only there for an event.

This is wonderful hotel and I have stayed here at least one night for many years. It is 45 minutes from Boston-Logan and does not have a parking fee. The renovated room was great with nice floor finish, contemporary style, comfortable beds and pillows, nice toiletries in bathroom, a desk with chair which is a must. Would stay here for several more years to come.

Check staff was terrific and restaurant staff was absolutely superb. Sink in bathroom did not have any kind of stopper. Really dislike the glass panel doors which allow too much light through in the middle of the night. Also don't like that the light switch is on the outside of the bathroom instead of inside. Also, no venting option. Mirror in bathroom was not made for putting on make up (can't easily close enough mirror with a magnifying option.) Seems to have been designed without women in mind. Also could use more outlets for charging electronic devices. Probably cost-cutting measures.

Broken ice machines. Dirty towels. No soap. Can go on but why bother. Sheraton should be ashamed of this property. I stayed there five years ago and it was immaculate. Does corporate ever visit this place? Or are they busy… oh and no pools. Indoor and outdoor closed without explanation.
