Here's my stay report from early May:
The Liberty: First off, the property is beautiful and incredibly interesting. I was upgraded to a Grand Deluxe room on the 14th floor of the tower (all suites were sold out, per Marriott.com) on the non-hospital side with amazing views of Back Bay, the Charles River, and the Liberty's lobby dome. The room was stylish with a large bathroom that included a separate shower and tub. Some of the furniture did have some minor scuffs, but the room was quite clean (a refreshing aspect after my experience at Long Wharf). I especially loved the key motif in the decor and artwork, as well as the Privacy sign that said "Solitary." The bed was comfortable, but the sheets were a bit stiff for my liking (however, this didn't impact my sleep quality). A robe and two pairs of (sealed) slippers are offered in the closet. Unfortunately, the property (not shockingly) doesn't use Marriott's TV software and only offers Live TV.
The only two issues I noticed with the room were two small (likely makeup) stains on one of the sheets that didn't come out in laundry and the ability to hear nearby sirens from MGH (which again didn't wake me up in the night).
As a welcome gift choice, Platinum+ members can choose to get a voucher for breakfast at CLINK, which, per the front desk, covers $50 of food ($70 with tax and gratuity) per day. Breakfast was quite nice, and it was nice to have a sit-down breakfast outside of the room. I actually didn't have to sign a receipt, so I assume that gratuity is added automatically for the servers (my server said that all they needed was the voucher, which is definitely a nice touch).
The staff was helpful, and daily housekeeping is an option that is offered at check-in. The property was quite busy, so the two working Tower elevators could get busy at peak times.
