Caroline, Aug 2022
The rooms’ doors are extremely noisy so it is impossible to sleep in pass 6:45 as people start going on with their day. Room staff are starting to make rooms, vacuum and open doors multiple times starting at 7:30…in 10 minutes, we counted 15 doors closing in and out at 8am…they are not discreet and could be less noisy…that kinda ruined our stay in very expensive hotel.

Pros (+) Great atmosphere, historic building! Concierge even made 9 degrees sound fun at our 8 am wake up call... hard to do. Overall very unique and satisfying experience. Clink was a unique dining experience. Breakfast was delicious, the lemon chive hollandaise was top notch but the flavor notes were subtle. I couldn't be more pleased!

Pros (+) Clean and comfortable. Good valet staff.
Cons (-) $50 parking... conveniently not mentioned prior to arrival. Asked for 2 queens and got a king. Nothing but 20-somethings in the lobby any time I was in it (ZZZzzzzzz). As I almost live in hotels, I care about the mix for my own sanity and it would be nice to have a more professionally/intellectually diverse mix. Inconvenient access to AC plugs at the desk. Occupancy sensors suck. No mint:)

Pros (+) The liberty staff, amenities, location and feel were top notch.
Cons (-) I did not like how thin the walls connecting the rooms were. It was hard to fall asleep at night a few nights we were there because there was no sound buffer.
