Beautiful Hotel But......
What a beautiful hotel with such rich history but it has a few downsides. The hotel turns into a full blown night club on the weekend. We checked in at 12:30 am after a very long and delayed flight from North Carolina. All we wanted to do was check in and get a good nights sleet. Well, there were cars lined up around the block just to get to the front entrance of the hotel. Wasn't sure what was going on until we reached the front door and see the mobs of people at the place. I couln't hear myself talk to the valet. We then had to push(literally) our way through the crowds of 20 somethings to the escalator and the front desk. The lobby is so loud with music and people, I had to scream at the desk clerk just to check in. We then pushed our way to the elevators to reach our room. The next night was worse. After coming back from a very long day of sighseeing, we were quickly shuffled out of our car to make room for the college kids who were coming in to drink and party at the hotel/nightclub. Our IDs were checked at the door and then on the way to the escalator, my dads ID was checked again. Hey Liberty Hotel, we are your quests. We paid over $400 a night to stay here and should not be treated like second grade citizens to your college partygoers. Again, you had to push your way through the crowds to get to the elevators. Ugg!!! Here is a thought, if you are going to have a nightclub in your hotel lobby every night, please offer your quests a back door entrance to avoid the headache and annoyance of having to fight for your room. It could be as simple as having a seperate key card access. Boy, why didnt someone think of that. This is not a bar/lounge area. It is a full blown over the top nightclub. So sad too, it has the potential to be a really great luxury hotel with the service to match. I have another trip scheduled for Boston next year. Too bad that I will not be staying here a second time around. Specifically for these reasons. I still have one more night here. I am sure it will be the same.
