Was the coup in 1989?
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!
