The room was quite cozy and very clean.

Stylish, Hip Hotel with Great Service

Very fun, very stylish/hip hotel with fantastic service. One staff member, Hero (sp?), was fantastic and really helped make our stay wonderful. My only recommendation would be to add more items to the bathroom - water glass, toiletry storage, etc.
Keith, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Busy, crowded hotel with a college vibe

Loved the decor and the proximity to a great breakfast spot. We had a tiny room that had blackout shades and a warm, comfy bed. Because the room was small, we wanted to use the lounge, but it was often occupied by private groups.

Loved the Freehand

ELENA, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent place to stay in the city.

I always stay at Freehand when I am visiting the city for work trips which is a few times a year. It is spacious and clean, the beds are comfortable as well. I love the cafe for breakfast and the hotel restaurants and bars are great. The only downfall is if they are closed for private events.

Stayed here with some friends in the bunk bed room. It was convenient to our other friend who lives in the city. Very cool building. Sometimes there was a wait for the elevator, but it typically moved quickly.
