Everything was clean. Staff answered my concerns and were able to handle my luggage while I spent some time exploring downtown before check-in. Cafe area was excellent for lounging in between. Overall a solid affordable spot in the downtown area.
Reserved a smaller room to accommodate 4 on a brief stay. Compact room, but it did have 4 lockers along with the 4 bunk beds for storage of belongings. Met our needs for the night. Rooftop bar and was nice with good happy hour food and drink deals! Would stay here again.
The rooftop pool and bar was nice, not overly elegant but comfortable and relaxed, excellent food, and drink prices.
Not the quietest place to stay, of course, being downtown, but the nostalgia is something that I enjoy.
I love this place! You can see the entire city from the rooftop diner which also has a pool! Staff was super friendly and helpful! I also love Expedia for showing me hotel choices!
I enjoyed my stay at the Freehand. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect. The prices can't be beat, so this will be my only choice when visiting DTLA.
Beautiful rooms and decor. Truly a unique place to stay and rather centrally located to 7th and Metro and the Theatre District. Tip: 25 all night parking at the lot across from Wholefoods.

Location is convenient, walking distance to so many bars and restaurants. The rooftop bar was one of my favorites; very beautiful views and yummy drinks! Definitely an older hotel, not modern; but I’m okay with that. Would stay again for a weekend
