Holiday Inn Boston-Woburn is now a Crowne Plaza Hotel. The large-scale overhaul  is near completion.

“Our building’s exterior is 90 percent done and 114 of our 197 guest rooms are finished,” said general manager Frank Vento about the rooms.

The property features 9,000 square feet of renovated meeting space and Scoreboard Sports Bar & Grill, a 260-seat sports bar and restaurant.  The fourth floor of the hotel is designated for VIP guests with a concierge and multi-media lounge.

Grace Pigott who coordinates hotel and conference planning for Analog Devices and has used the hotel for years, heard about the upgrades from attendees during a recent stay.

 “Men typically don’t make comments about hotels,” she remarked. “But these four executives, from North Carolina, New Jersey and California, were impressed with everything about their rooms.” Pigott said she organizes an annual conference at a large Boston hotel every year and has never heard such positive responses.
