The hotel was amazing quick check in. The room was very clean the atheistic of the hotel is amazing. It was very loud at night made it a little difficult to fall asleep. The area is not the best when you travel with kids. They have no self parking within the premises Valet is expensive. Had to park a few blocks down. Be ready to walk if you don’t want to pay $60 for valet. Didn’t dine at the property but the restaurant area looked inviting. The area is not the best but it’s downtown so you’ll see and hear all kinds of things.

Three day stay with two of them happening to be during the Dodger games. Staff accommodated the spike of guests as kindly, professionally and full service wise with the same level of quality as the slower night I stayed. Well done with grace and openness.

stayed in the Female Quad for a night. was assigned the upper bunk but for me (heavy and not really an athlete) it took me ages to climb down the bed and i dont think i can do it again. Fortunately they are able to switch me to another room with bottom bunk (thanks god and kudo to the staff!). Location-wise this is a good spot, couple of minutes walk from the metro, you have wholefood just down the street and plenty of food around the hotel. it's in a renovated old building and it's really retro and nicely deco. love it! I stayed for the night to attend concert at Crypto Arena, it's about 15-20mins totally walkable and it's not scary to walk alone at 11ish pm. people mentioned the noise on the street but i found that ok (stayed in 5th flr) only a little minus is they do not have shower gel (they have hand soap and a really fluffy thick towel) so make sure you bring your own.

Stayed at the Freehand for 4 nights in September. The room was a good size and a bit dated but the bathroom was updated and very clean. Pool was nice and happy hour was decent. The area surrounding was a bit sketchy at times but nothing major. The golden gopher across the street was a great spot. Food at the pool was average. There is some great street tacos just up the street or tacos Rodriguez truck across the street was also pretty good. Price was decent all in all I would say good for short trips.

Not what it used to be

I've stayed here almost 20 times over the last many years, since the hotel opened. As a business traveler it's nice to go back to the same hotel again and again. It saves precious time knowing what will be in the room & proximity to parking late night food etc. Little by little they've been deleting amenities, 1st slippers, then you had to ask for robes & lotion, now they don't give them at all despite the fact that they still list robes on their site & this site. Now they don't even give a note pad & pencil to leave a note w/ your tip for housekeeping . I asked for a printed receipt yesterday and they said that because it was paid through Hotels.com they couldn't give one. On the other hand , the staff ( except one time ) are always really lovely.
