Was the coup in 1989?[edit]

Tbere's an April 15 1980 Washington Post article indicating that it was certainly open (but obviously not very safe) shortly after the April 1980 military coup.

And I quite clearly recall using the hotel when I decided to say "no" to a drunken Liberian soldier I had been careening around in Monrovia with in a commadeered taxi in late May 1980. He wanted my watch and wallet and I decided I would firmly decline his request only when we landed in the public and then crowded hotel lobby. Yes it was a dumb thing for me to be anywhere near the place but I was finishing up my 18 month self-discovery experience as a journalist in Africa with, fortunately, a figurative "bang". I telexed my story to the Canadian wire service and it was published the day I returned home on May 30, 1980.

The hotel itself may have closed in 1989 but the coup itself was in 1980!
