The owner of the property is listed as AP WCP LLC.

The hotel recently went through renovations, said Manning. Renovations took place in 2018, and also in 2013-14.

It has an IACC function space, which means it is certified, added Manning.

The Conference Center hosts many of the major events in MetroWest, including the MetroWest Conference for Women, the Salute to Framingham, the Taste of MetroWest, and numerous state-wide conferences. The hotel’s large ballroom can hold about 650 people seated.

Manning said he anticipates that the property will be bought by another hospitality industry company.

The property has an outdoor pool, a garage, and a very large parking lot.

The property is located next to the city’s tech park, where Genzyme, and Bose are located.
