The hotel is amazing. It is definitely on the costly side, but if you are looking for an all-around great place to relax with a significant other then it's well worth the money. I would not recommend the Liberty if you're there as a group of men, however, as the hotel definitely caters to the women a bit more and the bar and lounge scene are not what the typical Boston guy would want (girls are not stumbling drunk everywhere and it's super classy). For a couples retreat you CANT beat it.

"Our Stay At The Liberty!"
My husband and I stayed at the Liberty because it was centrally located. A few steps from Mass General Hospital and one block from Mass Eye where they have the best doctors. In addition to the above, Charles Street is a stone's throw away. It's like going back in time "gas lamp lights," lovely old brick homes, great shops and wonderful restaurants. We loved the hotel and all the special attention that we were given. Would we do it again ... you betya!

Boston bride to be
Went out of our way for this disappointing stay
This hotel has degraded in the past few years. From poor customer service, to scratchy towels, cheap robes & bed linens- the stay has been an absolute disaster. The staff made it worse by making me feel discriminated against as an orbtz customer. Very upset about the entire experience.

Fantastic!
No complaints - everything was great. Great location, within walking distance of parks, shopping, water, site seeing, and the subway terminal is directly across the street, making getting around the city very easy & convenient. The history of the building is very interesting as well. Great time - highly recommend.

I was recently in Boston to support my daughter who was running the Boston Marathon. Love Boston and this amazing hotel. Stay here every time I visit. So close to public transportation, shops and restaurants.

GREAT HOTEL - wish there was a 4.5 rating!
We've been in Boston several times a year for the past 5 years, & have always stayed at one of the "big" hotel names (starts with an M). This time, the rooms there were really expensive, so we decided to try the Liberty. What a great experience! The staff was superb, we loved the history of the place, the location was fantastic -- Red Line T stop right across the street, & a lovely walk down charming Charles Street to The Commons. The reason for a half star "cut"? My hub was really wishing for a fan in the bathroom....other than that, we much preferred the Liberty to our old standby. We had originally chosen that one because we could take our dog with us --- however, the Liberty is dog-friendly, too! We can't wait to go back!

Great atmosphere. Staff helpful and welcoming. Scampo restaurant inside the hotel was fantastic. No reason to leave once you check in.

A perfect place for a tourist visit to Boston
The Liberty Hotel is at the charming end of Charles Street with interesting shops and restaurants, a T stop across the street (with a CVS pharmacy), and a short walk from the Boston common and Boyleston shopping. Everything was superb. Only four stars (rather than five) for amenities since there's not a lobby shop (with soda and such - but the CVS across the street is perfect) and the gym is very small and viewless, the side chair in the slightly small room may be lovely but is too stiff to be comfortable, and the fun party weekend atmosphere in the lobby (with a fabulous Japanese babe saxophone player in the jazz group on Friday) left little messes around the lobby.

Scampo was very very good - really top notch. Nicely spaced tables and not a bad table in the house.
