I was here from November 16-17 for their conference space. I did NOT stay overnight, this review is related to the event I was there to attend (CFP Certification Exam).

We were there to take the CFP Certification Exam. This is a test that involves 6 courses of prep work, a full case study and months of studying to prepare for. Most people take around two years from the start of the process to sit for the exam. In addition, it costs around $500 to sit for the test - in addition to thousands in course fees and any prep materials you may purchase. The pass rate is just over 50%. As you can imagine it is quite competitive.

The Sheraton Needham had construction scheduled throughout the exam. I found it wholly disrespectful that we had to listen to jackhammers and trucks throughout the test. In addition, the noise was flowing CLEARLY through the vents in the very room we were sitting in. Shame on you Sheraton Needham for not disclosing this properly before the test.
