The Liberty Hotel

I stayed at The Liberty last Friday, August 7th as a long time Marriott Bonvoy member. I was truly looking forward to enjoying the stay after a hectic week and reconnecting over dinner. When I arrived at the hotel at 545, despite checking in online 18 hours prior, they said that the check in ‘didn’t go through’ and they assigned me a room on the spot. The staff was nice enough. Well, when I got to the room I was a bit disappointed but I had some time sensitive work to finish by 630 so I concentrated on that before dinner. (Furniture was very worn looking, chipped up nightstands and just generally cheap and worn out looking.) Dinner and drinks at Scampo was wonderful, truly. The duck and steak entrees were wonderful and the service was fine enough. Cocktails after in the lobby were delicious, service was quick. We retreated to the catwalk to chat and catch up and the ambiance was nice. Well… once we returned to the room it became apparent that there was minimal sound proofing. The club music got progressively louder until almost 3AM and then parties apparently spilled over to the adjacent rooms. I got minimal sleep and was woken up by the glaring sun at sunrise because- the curtains were broken and didn’t fully close. The bed was lumpy, and… there was no coffee maker or easy way to order room service. The in room phone was not operational and the Bonvoy app did not connect the hotel menu to the services. I understand that I got this room through ‘points’ but it truly was NOT worth the 95,000 Marriott points I redeemed for this special night. Staff was fine. Location was great. Food and beverage lovely. As for the room? I’ve had more meticulously cleaned and quieter stays in highway motels on a roadtrip. I did submit this review on the Bonvoy app but it’s mysteriously been deleted. Such a shame.

Such a unique hotel. Love the history behind it. We have visited several times and always enjoyed our stays. Hotel restaurant….fabulous!

Picked Liberty specifically for July 4th fireworks as proximity is excellent.  Hotel let us check in 2 hours early for 2-night stay, TA reviews accurate all staff aims to please and hotel is beautiful.  Room big and clean and included sofa.  Platinum's receive a large breakfast credit the food and service perfect.   The hotel has free coffee and tea station every morning and room ice is clever,  it's packed in bags (see pic).  If you want to watch the July 4 fireworks but don't want to make a night out of it, this is the place to stay.  We walked across the street to bend in path (ask valets) and saw the show, our flight the next day was cancelled asked and received 4pm check out no problem.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.

The historic aspects of the hotel are so interesting. Its proximity to two of Boston’s top hospitals is appreciated. It is pricey, but it is located in one of the best areas of Boston. We appreciated the oversized tub and shower and especially the cleanliness.Also the three restaurants on site was a huge plus.

Attending a tour with Community Work Services, Chief Concierge Mirko Bissetta was filled with knowledge about the Liberty Hotel, past and present. Quite a charismatic fellow, the tour was entertaining and informative, all while seeing some incredible spaces the Liberty Hotel has created for it's patrons to maximize the experience. Whether you are staying at the hotel and want to learn about it, had a friend or family member who might have been a resident of the old establishment, or just enjoy history, this tour is a great way to learn new things and be entertained while sightseeing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks again.
