Loved the downstairs breakfast area and French Style architecture. One morning at "peak showering time" ran out of hot water...so I adjusted the next day. Loved there's a WHOLE FOODS down the street.

Really nice staff, very accommodating. The rooftop was also a very welcoming environment. Although the surrounding area isn't the best, the hotel and the bar at the top was very friendly and welcoming. The valet service is a bit on the expensive side, but definitely well worth it considering the area.

Freehand is wonderful! This was our third time staying at Freehand LA. It is in such a great location—very walkable and close to everything! You are downtown yet don’t feel “smothered” in the super busy areas. Our favorite part is the hotel rooftop, where there is a restaurant, great bar and very relaxing pool area (this is called the Broken Shaker). We arrived early and even though our room wasn’t ready, we could safely leave our bags and still use the amenities such as the gym and rooftop. The hotel is in an older building but the renovations and decor give it a nice clean, modern feeling where its charm can be appreciated from both aspects. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

If you don't expect a lot, you'll be extremely pleased with the Freehand. Some odd things weren't there — like only two tiny plastic cups in the room. No coffee maker. The street noise was noticeable, but not overwhelming. The bed was comfortable the room was clean.

Loudest hotel, “ going down” lol.
Single pane windows and thin exterior and interior walls. We were on the 7th floor and felt like the people were talking to us from the street. Additionally we were next to the elevator and I can’t get the sound “ going down” out of my head. Def one of the worst hotels when it comes to getting sleep. We talked to management and he moved us to three different rooms but all rooms were the same so unfortunately we had to check out early. As far as trying to get a refund for 5 hours in the hotel they were not so accommodating. Had to pay for one day but they did reimburse for the other 2 days we did not stay.

I adore staying at this hotel. I've been coming since 2019, and I am still in love with the rooftop pool and the interior design. Compared to every other hostel experience I'd had in LA, this has been leaps and bounds better. I'd like to note that the beds are pretty creaky and getting down from the top bunk woke everyone in the room up when someone climbed down, but beyond that, I really felt very at home in the space.
